We sometimes forget that Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens by birth and therefore cannot be considered immigrants. Nonetheless, they often receive the same discriminatory treatment and opprobrium that were faced by other waves of newcomers. The same things are said today of Puerto Ricans and Mexicans that were once said of Irish, Italians, Germans and Jews: “They’ll never adjust; they can’t learn the language; they won’t be absorbed.” Hypernyms en American Translations person from Puerto Rico Asturian: ast portorricanu m, ast portorricana f, ast puertorriqueñu m, ast puertorriqueña f Catalan: ca porto-riqueny m, ca porto-riquenya f Chinese: Mandarin: cmn 波多黎各人 Bōduōlígèrén Czech: cs Portoričan m Danish: da puertoricaner c Esperanto: eo portorikano man or woman, eo portorikanino woman Finnish: fi puertoricolainen French: fr Portoricain m, fr Portoricaine f Galician: gl portorriqueño m German: de Puerto-Ricaner m, de Puerto-Ricanerin f Hawaiian: haw Pokoliko Italian: it portoricano m, it portoricana f Japanese: ja プエルトリコ人 Puerutoriko-jin Korean: ko 푸에르토리코인, ko 푸에르토리코 사람 Norwegian: Bokmål: nb puertoricaner m, nb puertorikaner m Nynorsk: nn puertorican m, nn puertoricanar m, nn puertorikan m, nn puertorikanar m Polish: pl Portorykańczyk m, pl Portorykanka f Portuguese: pt porto-riquenho m, pt porto-riquense m f Romanian: ro portorican m, ro portoricană f Russian: ru пуэрторика́нец m, ru пуэрторика́нка f, ru пуэрто-рика́нец m, ru пуэрто-рика́нка f Serbo-Croatian: sh Portorikanac m, sh Portorikanka f Spanish: es puertorriqueño m, es puertorriqueña f, es boricua m f Swedish: sv puertorican c Tagalog: tl Puwertorikenyo Thai: th ชาวปวยร์โตรีโก Turkish: tr Porto Rikolu Ukrainian: uk пуерторика́нець m, uk пуерторика́нка f Adjective 1 en Puerto Rico or its people. en boricua US, colloquial Derived terms en Neorican Nuyorican Puerto Ricanness Puerto Rican infant hypotonia syndrome Puerto Rican spindalis (Spindalis portoricensis species) Puerto Rican syndrome Puerto Rican tanager Puerto Rican time Puerto Rican Virgin Islands Translations pertaining to Puerto Rico Asturian: ast portorricanu, ast portorriqueñu Catalan: ca porto-riqueny Chinese: Mandarin: cmn 波多黎各 波多黎各的 Bōduōlígè de Czech: cs portorický Danish: da puertorikansk Finnish: fi puertoricolainen French: fr portoricain Galician: gl portorriqueño German: de puerto-ricanisch Hawaiian: haw Pokoliko Italian: it portoricano, it puertoricano Japanese: ja プエルトリコ Puerutoriko no プエルトリコの Korean: ko 푸에르토리코 ^푸에르토리코-의 Norwegian: Bokmål: nb puertoricansk, nb puertorikansk Nynorsk: nn puertoricansk, nn puertorikansk Polish: pl portorykański Portuguese: pt porto-riquenho, pt porto-riquense Romanian: ro portorican Russian: ru пуэрторика́нский, ru пуэрто-рика́нский Spanish: es puertorriqueño Swedish: sv puertoricansk Tagalog: tl Puwertorikenyo Ukrainian: uk пуерторика́нський en proper adjectives en Puerto Rico Nationalities American demonyms
