    Colombian is how we turn the country name Colombia into “of Colombia” or “a person from Colombia” — the South American country with coasts on both the Pacific and the Caribbean, and with Bogotá as its capital.

    Colombian Colombian這個字 is how we turn the country name Colombia into "of Colombia" or "a person from Colombia"是把國名Colombia變成「哥倫比亞的」或「哥倫比亞人」的方式 — the South American country with coasts on both the Pacific and the Caribbean那是一個同時濱臨太平洋和加勒比海的南美國家 and with Bogotá as its capital首都是波哥大

    As an adjective: Colombian coffee, Colombian music, a Colombian city. As a noun: a Colombian, the Colombians. It follows the same quiet pattern as Canadian or Brazilian: place + -an.

    As an adjective當形容詞用時: Colombian coffee, Colombian music, a Colombian city就像哥倫比亞咖啡、哥倫比亞音樂、一座哥倫比亞城市。As a noun當名詞用時: a Colombian, the Colombians就是一個哥倫比亞人、這些哥倫比亞人。It follows the same quiet pattern as Canadian or Brazilian它跟Canadian或Brazilian一樣的規律: place + -an都是地名加-an

    It is the normal, polite word — not slang, not a joke, not a nickname. Keep the capital C.

    It is the normal, polite word這是正常、有禮貌的用詞 — not slang, not a joke, not a nickname不是俚語、不是玩笑、也不是綽號。Keep the capital C字首C要大寫

    Though actually, you will also see Columbian with a u. That spelling usually belongs to Columbia (the US or Canadian name), not to the South American country. If you mean the country, Colombian with an o is the one you want.

    Though actually不過其實 you will also see Columbian with a u你也會看到拼成Columbian、中間是u的寫法。That spelling這個拼法 usually belongs to Columbia (the US or Canadian name)通常屬於Columbia(美國或加拿大地名的那個) not to the South American country而不是這個南美國家。If you mean the country如果你講的是這個國家 Colombian with an o is the one you want中間是o的Colombian才是你要的字

    People stretch Colombian in ordinary ways any nationality word stretches: a Colombian passport, Colombian food, a Colombian accent. None of that changes the core: it still points to Colombia.

    People stretch Colombian大家也會延伸Colombian這個字 in ordinary ways any nationality word stretches就像任何國籍詞常見的延伸方式: a Colombian passport, Colombian food, a Colombian accent像哥倫比亞護照、哥倫比亞食物、哥倫比亞口音。None of that changes the core這些都不會改變它的核心: it still points to Colombia它指的還是哥倫比亞

    It is not the country name itself. The country is Colombia; a person from there is Colombian.

    It is not the country name itself它本身不是國名。The country is Colombia國家叫Colombia; a person from there is Colombian從那裡來的人則叫Colombian
