- 1n/kəˈmæntʃi/the Comanche (the whole people)科曼奇族（整個民族）
With 'the' in front of it, the whole expression means the Comanche people as a group — a Native American nation whose homeland covered a large area of the southern plains in what is now the southwestern United States, and who are known especially for their skill with horses. It takes a plural verb.
文法複數：這個意思要用複數形式。
英文講一個民族時常用這個寫法。一個人是 a Comanche。整個民族是 the Comanche。後面不加 s，動詞用複數：the Comanche are、the Comanche have。句子在談這個民族整體的事情時就用它。歷史、土地、語言、生活方式。時態要小心。傳統的畫面屬於過去，但這個民族今天仍然存在，主要分布在德州和奧克拉荷馬州。所以很多時候該用的是現在式。
示範例句 · Example
The Comanche are one of the Native American nations of Texas and Oklahoma.
中文翻譯這些科曼奇人是德州和奧克拉荷馬州的美洲原住民族之一。
English uses this pattern for the name of a people: one person is 'a Comanche', and the people together are 'the Comanche', with no -s and a plural verb — the Comanche are, the Comanche have. Use it when the sentence is about the nation as a whole: its history, its land, its language, its way of living. Note the tense you choose. The historical picture belongs to the past, but Comanche people live today, especially in Texas and Oklahoma, so 'the Comanche are' is often the right form.

A person who belongs to the Comanche people, who live especially in Texas and Oklahoma.
文法可數名詞：前面可以加 a/an，要表示複數時常常加 -s。
這是指一個人的可數名詞。a Comanche、two Comanches。它說明這個人屬於哪個民族。後面不需要再加 man、woman 或 person。這個字本身就是指人。開頭的 C 要大寫。談的是現在還在的人時，用現在式就好。
This is the countable noun for one person: a Comanche, two Comanches. It names which people somebody belongs to, in the same way that 'a Scot' does. You do not need to add man, woman or person after it — the word already means a person. Keep the capital C, and keep the present tense when you are talking about someone alive.
