What is the correct way to call the people from Spain, spanish or spainards?


    



Show all answers


tidje
The first answer is correct.
Spaniard is the noun- so someone from Spain would be referred to as "a Spaniard."
Spanish is the adjective to describe them.

For example- the Spanish girl came over today.
or She is a Spaniard.
or- That Spaniard is Spanish. ;)
Either can be used as long as they are used in the correct way.

A lot of times people will use Spaniard to clarify that a person is specifically from Spain.
Since "Spanish" is also the term for the language, some people might (wrongly) call any person from any Spanish speaking country "Spanish." If you are calling someone "Spanish," though, you really are saying that they are from Spain.
Someone from Cuba is not Spanish. They are Cuban and speak Spanish.

Spaniard is a noun


soccer
spaniards

Españoles! haha

what irritates me the most is when a restaurant advertises "Spanish" foods and it turns out to be fajitas!

"Spanish" would indicate a person or item that is from Spain, but the geographic denomination ("gentilicio") is "Spaniard".

Well, I remember grandma telling me that she knew a guy from Spain, he couldn't stand to be called Mexican, he said to call him Spanish so I guess it's Spanish.
