Actually, Greecians are now known as Grecian 2000s, to celebrate their proud historical legacy. Not a lot of people know that.

Must admit I preferred yours - gave me a giggle!

Love the Grecian 2000 as well - haven’t seen it advertised for ages - did it change its name to ‘Just For Men’ or something?

Does that mean that when I’m referring to someone Greece, I should say “He or She is a Grecian 2000s”

What about people from Morocco?

Moroccan

Plural - sometimes you add an ‘S’. sometimes you don’t - it’s one of the difficulties of English, like pronouncing cough, bough, tough, dough etc.

Sorry - once a teacher, always a teacher!

Well, you lot are no fun at all.

I think it’s Saudi(s) for that lot. Or Saud(s) if you’re talking about one of the billions of princes. Presumably because the i in Arabic denotes ownership, or something.

Fill yer boots

Monaco >>> Monacoan

Cote d’Ivoire >>> Ivoirian

Mauritius >>> Mauritiusian

Seychelles >>> Seychellian?

Mozambique >>> Mozambiquian

Djibouti >>> Djiboutian

The i (or maybe it’s more like a y) in Arabic denotes nationality like in:

British: Britani/y

French: Frensi/y

American: Americani/y

Saudi Arabia: Saudi/y

Greek: Yonani/y

The royal Saudi dynasty individuals are called “Aal Saud”.

Ah yes, that makes sense. I should have remembered from the nom de guerre that ■■■■ fighters take (the al-Britani lot in particular!). But let’s not get into that!
