Just needed to wait for the boxes to move ( patience !) and make room for the new word before letting go of the mouse. Thanks for creating such a great website for learning Chinese.

Falkland Islands would be Fúkèlán qúndǎo (福克兰群岛 / 福克蘭群島), which literally means "Falkland group of islands." So a Falkland Islander would be a Fúkèlán qúndǎorén. As for Kelper, assuming the Chinese person you were talking to understood the context, it might be Hǎidàirén (海带人/海帶人) which literally means "Kelp person." Hi Pamela,

You may also hear it as Éguó. If you click on the Vocabulary link above, and click on Next a couple of times, you will see both versions in the Supplementary vocabulary (red). For a Russian person, just add rén giving Éluósīrén or Éguórén. Thanks! Hi Ksenia,
