- 1n/ˈhoʊpi/ · /ˈhəʊpi/the Hopi people霍皮族
The Hopi are a Native American people whose home land is in the north of Arizona, in the United States. The name is used with the, and it is treated as a plural.
文法複數：這個意思要用複數形式。
這裡指的是整個族群，不是某一個人。它是複數，前面要加 the。所以動詞跟著用複數：the Hopi have，不是 has。字尾不加 s，複數的訊息由 the 和動詞負責。放在名詞前面時當修飾語用，像 Hopi villages。H 一定要大寫，因為這是族名。他們的家鄉在美國亞利桑那州北部。要講其中一個人時，用另一個條目 a Hopi。
示範例句 · Example
The Hopi have lived in northern Arizona for a very long time.
中文翻譯霍皮族已經在亞利桑那州北部居住了非常長的時間。
This entry is the people as a whole, not one person. It is plural and goes with the, so the verb after it is plural: the Hopi have their own language, not has. Notice that nothing is added to the end of the word here; it is the and the verb that carry the plural. The same word is used in front of another noun to say something belongs to this people, as in Hopi villages or Hopi pottery. It always keeps its capital H, the way the name of any people or language does.

- 2n/ˈhoʊpi/ · /ˈhəʊpi/one Hopi person霍皮族人
One person who belongs to the Hopi people of northern Arizona. It is a countable noun: a Hopi, two Hopis.
文法可數名詞：前面可以加 a/an，要表示複數時常常加 -s。
這個用法指的是單獨一個人。它是可數名詞，所以有 a Hopi、two Hopis 這些形式。拿另一個條目比一下：the Hopi 配複數動詞，講的是整個族群，而且不加 s。放在名詞前面也可以，a Hopi artist 就是一位霍皮族的藝術家。H 一樣大寫。要小心的是 Hopis 只用來數人，不會拿來指整個族。
Use this when you mean an individual rather than the whole group. It behaves like any ordinary countable noun, so it takes a and an -s plural: a Hopi, the Hopi woman we met, three Hopis. Compare the other entry, where the Hopi with a plural verb means the people as a whole; that one never takes -s. The word also sits in front of another noun to describe someone, as in a Hopi artist, and the capital H stays in every use.
