Here I have a little game to play. If some of you are tired and stressed out because you’ve just finished your work or lecture, I hope you’ll will refreshed.

How many nationality do you know in this world? You might have heard of the famous ones such as American, British, Chinese, Korean. But this time, I want to measure your knowledge by letting you guess the nationality for people who live in a country we rarely hear about.

I will give you 8 clues which are the suffix usually put after the name of the country. They are: -ian, -ean, -an, -ese, -er, ic, -ish, and –i. Okay, let’s begin and I will start from the easiest one. I bet you have heard or read about it somewhere.

Belgium = _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Egypt = _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Sweden = _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Iraq = _ _ _ _ _

Bangladesh = _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Finland = _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Poland = _ _ _ _ _ _

Switzerland = _ _ _ _ _

Kuwait = _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Morocco = _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Answer:

Belgian
Egyptian
Swedish
Iraqi
Bangladeshi
Finnish
Polish
Swiss*
Kuwaiti
Morrocan

You might heard that Swiss is a name of a country. You might also think that Swiss is the other name of Switzerland or Sweden, but apparently Switzerland and Sweden are two different countries. And Swiss is not a country, but a nationality.
