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