What does this character "人" mean?

[tjatwood42]

I think on its own it means "person" but in can also be applied to a country name to mean a person of that nationality.

美国 = America
美国人 = American

[FeGiglioTheKing]

person. So 美国人 is basicaly "United States person"

I swear this Doctor Wang is making me giggle like an idiot everytime
But hey at least I remember

[Zakaria103743]

can i say : Wang is an American doctor . or not !

[MaxGonzale16]

That would probably be something like "王是美国医生." Your sentence makes sense, but not as a translation of this Chinese sentence.

[OeinTheRoc]

You could say that as "王医生是不是美国人" (doctor wang is or is not american?) or "王医生是美国人吗" (is doctor wang an american?) I think

[Sadia9600]

Can anyone hear 不是 instead of 是? Can anyone kindly explain why the audio sounds wrong to me?

[EdWOff]

The voice recognition does not function properly

[jch254]

Should really accept Dr. Wang is American

[Flo488833]

So if 美国人 means 'American (person)', why does 哪国人 ask for the country?

[OeinTheRoc]

Basically, "哪" is a question word that means "which" so 那国人 means like which nationality is this person from. 哪 is super versatile and any time you see it, the person is basically asking you to fill in the blank.

[Flo488833]

Thanks for your reply. Yes, that's how I understood it: the question is 哪国人 and not 哪国. So the exercise should be "What nationality... ?" instead of "What country... ?" (Sorry I can't recall the exercise correctly anymore).

[GlaucoNepo]

It Could be translate too as: Wang is american doctor

[ScamPoetry]

I wrote "Doctor Wang's American." Not good enough, Owl?!
