Heh.. I have a rather stupid problem. I need to know how you call someone from the Island of Curaçao. A Curaçaoer? Unlikely. If anyone knows the answer.. it would be of great help to me [img]smile.gif[/img]

General: Curaçaoënaar
Male: Curaçaoër
Female: Curaçaose

As for a translation into English, "inhabitant of Curaçao" is the best I can do.

I don't know, but I'd guess Curacaoan. Judging by the website I looked at, www.curacao.de/en/index.html I'd just call them Lucky S.O.B.s!

Dutch will do. Thanks Groj. You too, of course, VulcanRider [img]smile.gif[/img]

Curackers. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Sheesh, don't make things so complicated. It's just an Antilliaan, just as someone from Groningen or Limburg is Dutch. ;)

Limburgers are Dutch as well? :eek:

I'm afraid they are, although i'm not so sure about our good buddies in Kerkrade. I know two guys from there, and i have to listen very closely to what they're mumbling, i can't understand a word of that dialect.

And i won't even mention Friesland. I have a strong suspicion they are not from this planet, with all their Fierljeppen and stuff. :D

Oet mon. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

Apparently, they find such terms quite insulting. The reason I need to know this; I was interviewing someone from Aruba yesterday, and he said something like "Die Curaçaoënaaren verpestten ons imago". I needed to quote that literally. [img]smile.gif[/img]

[img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] Starts humming "Bolletjes in mn hol" :D
