"Một người Canada và một người Mỹ"

Translation: A Canadian and an American

[JCMcGee]

Where does the word Mỹ come from? What's the etymology?

[wordgeek416]

Mỹ or Mĩ is Sino-Vietnamese 美 (short for 美国 = aMErica). 美 means "beautiful" by itself.

[v.ivanov]

Let me be the first to say that Canadian is also American)))

[MitchFarden]

I'm Canadian, and I wouldn't ever recommend calling a Canadian an "American". We're known for being nice, but that's a good way to get into a Hockey Fight. Haha
