Sentineleseとは 意味・読み方・使い方

名詞

Sentinelese (複数形 Sentineleses または Sentinelese)

1. (chiefly in the plural) A member of an indigenous people of the Andaman Islands, in the Bay of Bengal. They inhabit North Sentinel Island.

使用する際の注意点

As with other nationalities formed with -ese, the countable singular noun in reference to a person (as in "I am a Sentinelese", "writing about Sentinelese cuisine as a Sentinelese") is uncommon and often taken as incorrect. In its place, the adjective is used, by itself (as in "I am Sentinelese") or with a word like person, man, or woman ("writing about Sentinelese cuisine as a Sentinelese person").
