Nationalities
Speaking with others – How to talk about nationality?
I’m from India. So, my nationality is Indian.
But you don’t say “My nationality is Indian”. We normally say, “I’m Indian.”
Also, the question could be, “What nationality are you?”
You never ask, “What’s your nationality?”
The more natural question is, “Where are you from?”
“I’m from India.”
