Hi. I am learning english and I would like to know which is the correct form: "Argentinian" or "Argentine". I have studied english for six years and the teachers of the institute taught me that it is "Argentinian", but I have seen written "Argentine". And also the translator on the web shows "Argentine", so I ask which would the correct form be? Thanks

Argentine ---> is the countries name

Argentinian --> is a person who comes from that region (singular)

Argentines--> the entire population (plural)



That is the best way I can explain the difference...



Argentina ---> this is the Spanish spelling..

Argentine--> is the English spelling

"Argentinian" means that you are from Argentina. The online translators are not always correct, do not trust them !

Both terms are correct. Some countries have more than one demonym (name of the citizens of that country) and Argentina is one of them.
