- 1n/juːt/the Ute people尤特族（美洲原住民族）
The Ute are a Native American people whose homeland is in what is now Utah, Colorado and northern New Mexico. Used with 'the', the name means the whole people, and it takes a plural verb.
文法複數：這個意思要用複數形式。
the Ute 指整個尤特族這個民族。他們的家園在今天的猶他州、科羅拉多州和新墨西哥州北部。講整個民族時前面加 the，動詞用複數：The Ute live…。要講其中一個人，說 a Ute。這個字開頭一定大寫，單複數拼法相同。它同時也是他們語言的名字。寫到任何一個民族時，用現在式比較妥當：他們現在仍然在。
示範例句 · Example
The Ute have lived in these mountains for many generations.
中文翻譯尤特族已經在這些山裡住了許多世代。
This form of the name points at the people as a group, not at one person. Because it names a whole people, the verb after it is plural: The Ute live…, The Ute have…. The spelling stays the same whether you mean one or many, and the capital U is part of the name. To talk about one person you say a Ute. The word is also the name of their language. Writing about any people, the safest habit is the present tense: they are here now, not only in the past.

這是可數的用法，講的是一個人。一個人說 a Ute，幾個人說 Utes。開頭一樣要大寫，因為它是名字的一部分。要講整個民族，英文改用 the Ute 加複數動詞。兩種形式來自同一個名字，差別只在你指的是一個一個的人，還是整個群體。
This is the countable form: one person. You say a Ute for one, and Utes for several. The capital letter stays, because it is part of a name. When you mean the whole people rather than individuals, English uses the with a plural verb instead: the Ute. Both forms come from the same name, so the choice only tells the reader whether you are pointing at people one by one or at the group as a whole.
