Ethiopian is the word for a person from Ethiopia, and for things that belong to that country — Ethiopian food, an Ethiopian passport, the Ethiopian flag. It is a normal nationality word, like Italian or Korean, and it works as both a noun and an adjective. The country it points to is in north-east Africa; the capital is Addis Ababa. Dictionaries sometimes still describe Ethiopia as sitting on the Red Sea, but it does not touch the sea now. It is often called Africa’s oldest independent nation, with a long history of staying its own state, though Italy occupied it for a few years in the 1930s and early 1940s. Use Ethiopian for people and for “of that country”; use Ethiopia for the place itself.
