Fujianese

== English == === Alternative forms === Fukienese === Etymology === From Fujian +‎ -ese. === Adjective === Fujianese (comparative more Fujianese, superlative most Fujianese) Of or relating to the province of Fujian in China. === Noun === Fujianese (plural Fujianese) (chiefly in the plural) A person from Fujian. ==== Usage notes ==== As with other terms for people formed with -ese, the countable singular noun in reference to a person (as in "I am a Fujianese", "writing about Fujianese cuisine as a Fujianese") is now uncommon and often taken as grammatically incorrect. In its place, the adjective is used, by itself (as in "I am Fujianese") or before a noun like person, man, or woman ("writing about Fujianese cuisine as a Fujianese person"). See also -ish, which is similarly only primarily used as an adjective or as a plural noun. ==== Synonyms ==== (dated) Hokkien ==== Hyponyms ==== Hokkien, Fukien / Fookien, Hoklo Hokchiu / Hokchew, Foochow, Foochownese Hokchia / Hockchia Hinghwa / Henghua
