"هُوَّ هولَنْدِيّ."

Translation: He is Dutch.

[BoyBusmar1]

Why not : He is a Dutch ?

[BryanCho6]

He is from the Netherlands should be accepted

[casenjoyer]

that would be هو من هولندا

[IsabellaMa964106]

I wrote "He is from Holland." Would this not technically be correct?

[benton.1]

No, it is not correct because the Arabic sentence does not say "He is from Holland" it says "He is Dutch" and we a supposed to translate the sentence not give a close approximation of what the words mean.

To iterate, an acceptable translation of OP's sentence would be «هو من هولندا.»

[RobSprankle]

it seems more to say he is a Hollander

[fred91883]

Why is the writing in arabic so weird in this sentence?
