Well, everybody born in the american continent is technically “american” too, including Central and South America. Is there a specific term in english for these people?
Edit: Thanks for all your answers, especially the wholesome ones and those patient enough to explain it thoroughly. Since we (South Americans) and you (North Americans) use different models/conventions of continent boundaries, it makes sense for you to go by “Americans”, while it doesn’t for us.
Why are you arguing against yourself? In the comment I replied to you asked if we didn’t have a word for South American, and we do, it just doesn’t mean the same (edit: because those aren’t continents in the Continental model used back when the Americas were being colonized). I’m not sure what you’re arguing anymore other than trolling.
That was a rhetorical question about south America. I know the regions and I know what the continents are. I don’t need you to explain them to me. Is that all you were trying to say or do you have another point?
Are you using google translate?
No, just fat fingered a bunch of words and didn’t check.
