Introduction
This
post deals
with talking about nationalities.
Imagine you are
exchanging personal details. You come to the point of dealing with
nationalities. The other person decides to ask what nationality you
are and says: what is your nationality?
In
Spanish, the other person could choose to be less formal and say:
¿Cuál
es tu nacionalidad?
On the
other hand, he/ she could choose to be more formal and say:
¿Cuál
es su nacionalidad?
OUR TIP
You DO NOT
need be concerned about the degree of formality in the question you are
asked. Whether the other person uses the more/ less formal question is
irrelevant to your choice of answer.We have seen in another post that often your answer depends on whether you are a MALE or a FEMALE.
However, there is a type of answer which does not depend on whether you are a male or a female.
Some examples of answers of this type are:
- Soy de nacionalidad inglesa (I am of English nationality)
- Soy de nacionalidad estadounidense (I am of US nationality)
- Soy de nacionalidad canadiense (I am of Canadian nationality)
- Soy de nacionalidad escocesa (I am of Scottish nationality)
- Soy de nacionalidad irlandesa (I am of Irish nationality)
- Soy de nacionalidad galesa (I am of Welsh nationality)
- Soy de nacionalidad italiana (I am of Italian nationality)
- Soy de nacionalidad filipina (I am of Philippine nationality)
- Soy de nacionalidad vietnamita (I am of Vietnamite nationality)
Now
you should practise answering the question:
¿Cuál
es tu nacionalidad?
