Please note that nationality words are spelt with initial capital letters in English, but not in Catalan or Castilian: (The) Italians eat a lot of pasta.
As we have seen in the previous example, the definite article (the) may be omitted with plurals ending in s. Compare the following sentences:
I am going to study Catalan because I like the Catalans.
I am going to study Catalan because I like Catalans.
The Chinese grow a lot of rice. (The article the cannot be left out.)
The Swiss make very tasty chocolates. (The article the cannot be removed, as no s has been added to make the plural form.)
The sentences below mean the same:
(The) Germans are used to the cold. It freezes in Germany in the winter.
German people are used to the cold. It freezes in Germany in the winter.
More examples:
Japanese girls are beautiful.
(The) Canadians speak English and French.
We like Chinese food, so we ate at a Chinese restaurant.
A person who comes from Poland is Polish / A person who comes from Poland is a Pole.
Two people who come from Poland are Polish / Two people who come from Poland are Poles.
*Please note that the words Spain and Spanish are imperialist or colonialist. Castilian should be used to refer to the language of Castile:
He speaks Castilian.
However, if you are taking an examination, your teacher may prefer "Spanish". When in doubt, ask him or her.
