文法句型

Taiwanese + noun (attributive)

subject + be + Taiwanese (predicative)

用法筆記

Attributive use (before a noun) is most common: Taiwanese food, Taiwanese history. Predicative use (after be) also occurs naturally: 'She is Taiwanese.'

常見錯誤

❌I am a Taiwanese.' (when describing nationality).
✅I am Taiwanese.
💡As an adjective, do not add 'a' before 'Taiwanese'. For the noun, use 'a Taiwanese person' or 'a Taiwanese' where countable-noun grammar applies.
