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 Macanese", "writing about Macanese cuisine as a Macanese") is uncommon and often taken as incorrect. In its place, the adjective is used, by itself (as in "I am Macanese") or before a noun like person, man, or woman ("writing about Macanese cuisine as a Macanese person"). See also -ish, which is similarly only used primarily as an adjective or as a plural noun.

固有名詞

Macanese

1. A creole language originating in Macau, based on Portuguese and some East Asian languages.
