Iron Chef said:I consider myself an Asian-American (born outside the U.S. and with dual citizenship but having resided in America for most of my formative years). Beyond that, I try not to read anything else into it.
What I'd like to know is this: Was the word uttered within a sentence in German or in English?bossel said:In Germany the term "Orientale" implies someone from the Near/Middle East, not East Asia.
Der Orientale/die Orientalin are the German words for persons from the NE/ME, orientalisch is the corresponding adjective. Actually, esp. the adjective can also be used for people from the Far East, but usually it implies NE/ME origin. Whenever you hear someone tell Geschichten aus dem Orient (stories from the orient) you expect to hear something like "1001 Nights".lexico said:What I'd like to know is this: Was the word uttered within a sentence in German or in English?[...]I would assume Germany would not have this strange distinction becasue the two words have distinct definitions. Right?
don't they both actually mean the same??
I mean, Asian = ppl from asia
orienal = ppl from the east
or am I wrong??
