Answer 1

Todo depende del lugar. Suele ser muy parecido al lugar de la ciudad, pero hay otro que no tienen nada de similar.
En Canarias, por ejemplo, a alguien de Lanzarote puede llamársele tanto "lanzaroteño" como "conejero"; y a alguien de Fuerteventura se les llama "majoreros" ^^

Answer 2

Sorry, I wrong writing adjetive instead adjective too; En el "Diccionario de la Real Academia de la Lengua Española", la palabra aparece como Nipon, y se define como un adjetivo de alguien nativo de Japon; Relativo o proceddente de...
I just was traying to explain what means the spanish word GENTILICIO, which is in discussion.
Being repetitive, such adjective not always (just sometimes) derived from the NAME OF COUNTRY OR CITY of origin.
Aha, Thank you for explaining the nippon word's provenance; the forum is to share knowledge.

Answer 3

Are you trying to say that a person from Japan is called a Nipon? If so, you are mistaken. The name "Japan" in Japanese is Nihon or Nippon (never Nipon), and a Japanese person is a nihonjin, which just means Japanese person.

I'm a Japanese translator.

Answer 4

In spanish is a GENTILICIO the adjetive that gives each person according to it's origin, which not always derived from the name of Country or City. So you can find a Nipon of Japan, a Crioca of Brazil or Chilango of Mexico City.

Answer 5

I have these words for you: "Gaucho" is from Argentina is the name for mens who ride horses and work in the country with animals. I am not Argentin people, that why I am not going to explain more this word, because it is like all a genuine style of life for that people, that I respect too much, and I do not want to make any mistake talking about that, it is better if you read something about them in internet. It is quite interesting.
From Mexico, the word it is "Charros".
In Venezuela "Llaneros"

Answer 6

Y los costarricenses se llaman ticos, y los que vienen de Guadalajara son tapatíos. Para dar dos ejemplos más. Y nosotros que vivimos en San Francisco ¿somos sanpancheros? (jajaja!)

BTW, the movie "Yo Soy Boricua, Pa' Que Tu Lo Sepas" is a very good look into "los nuevayorquinos" and other puertorriqueños living in the US. (Well, Puerto Rico IS in the US, but you know what I mean.)

Answer 7

No, there isn't really a rule. As for people from Madrid, you could use the words mentioned by SPL2008, but often it is just easier to say something like this:
Ella es de Madrid.
rather than
Ella en un madrileño/madrideño.

Answer 8

Hi Alper,
Puertorican people also call themselves "boricua", men as well as women. And when referring to a Venezuelan man, "chavo" is somethimes used. It means something like "bloke" or "dude". A man from Curacao is called a "Curacoleño" (not sure about the spelling though).

Answer 9

actually i am looking for what they use for people from madrid
and how we make one from a name of a region. I mean is there some kind of a rule for it'

Answer 10

Hey Alper,
En dondequiera mirar hay palabras como estas. Yo tengo amiga de Puerto Rica, entonces ella es puertoriqueña. Es mero adjectivo. Entendiste'
