Lesson 9: nationalities and languages 2.

Now again we will go on countries, nationalities and languages. It is time for Italy, Japan, Canada, Mexico, Irland and Portugal.

I have also added a sentence to ask about nationality. The verb has no changes and neither has the rest of the sentence so if you want to ask a different person, you just have to change the subject.

• 你是哪国人？à you (singular)
• 你们是哪国人？à you (plural)
• 你巴巴是哪国人？à your father
• Paula是哪国人？à Paula

The answer is SUBJECT + 是 + nationality.
