cubano

/kuˈbano/ · B2 · adj

Cuban

🇨🇺 sounds like 'Cuba-no' = Cuba + adjective ending -ano, so 'of Cuba'

Take the country name Cuba and add the suffix -ano, which turns a place into a word for its people or things. Cuba + -ano gives cubano: Cuban. The same pattern appears in mexicano, americano and italiano.
