Chino

Chino means “Chinese”, technically, in Spanish; some Latinos will randomly say “dímelo chino,” whatever that is supposed to mean. Qué significado tiene esa frase? Porque…Dejé de tratar de averiguarlo. Lol.

Additionally, many Spanish-speaking people use “chino” as a catch-all term to describe any and all persons of Asian descent. Therefore it must be specified—Si tu primer idioma en la vida es el español o tal vez incluso tu segundo o tercer idioma, aquí hay algunos ejemplos para usar la palabra "chino" (y otras palabras para describir personas asiáticas) correctamente.

1. Chino/Chinese. “Él es chino porque es del país de China.”

2. Japonés/Japanese. “Él es japonés porque es del país de Japón.”

3. Coreano/Korean. Te entiendes? You get it, I hope.

4. Vietnamita/Vietnamese.

5. Camboyano/Cambodian.

6. Tailandesa/Thai.

7. Indonesio/Indonesian.
8. Filipino…the same

9. Malasio/Malaysian
10. Singaporeano/Singaporean.

11. Balinés/Balinese.

12. Laosiano/Laotian.
13. Bután/Bhutanese.

“Ella es china; ella es del país china.”
“Él es chino; él es del país china.”
