使用する際の注意点

• As with other terms for people formed with -ese, the countable singular noun in reference to a person (as in "I am a Togolese", "writing about Togolese cuisine as a Togolese") is uncommon and often taken as grammatically incorrect. In its place, the adjective is used, by itself (as in "I am Togolese") or before a noun like person, man, or woman ("writing about Togolese cuisine as a Togolese person"). See also -ish, which is similarly only primarily used as an adjective or as a plural noun.
