How to Say "American" in Hindi

अमेरिकी

Which one should you use?

Additionally, to refer to a person born in or a citizen of the U.S., you may use अमेरिकन or अमरीकी.

The adjective अमेरिकी is indeclinable, which means it does not change its form to match the gender or number of the noun it modifies.

In Bollywood films, the word अमेरिकन is frequently used in song lyrics and dialogue to signal a sense of modernism, luxury or Western influence.
Even though अमेरिकी is an adjective, it can function like a noun in a sentence to mean 'an American', without needing to add a word for 'person'.
The suffix -ई used in अमेरिकी is a common pattern in Hindi to transform a country name into an adjective, much like how भारत becomes भारतीय for 'Indian'.
