- 1伊努克(因紐特人的單數;一位因紐特人)
An Inuk is a person of the Inuit peoples — the Indigenous peoples of the Arctic, especially in what is now Canada, , and parts of Alaska.
An Inuk一位Inuk(因紐特人) is a person of the Inuit peoples是因紐特民族裡的一個人 — the Indigenous peoples of the Arctic就是北極圈的原住民族, especially in what is now Canada, Greenland, and parts of Alaska尤其分布在現在的加拿大、格陵蘭和阿拉斯加部分地區。
books may treat Inuk as simply another word for “an Inuit,” and English speakers often do say an Inuit for one person. Though actually, in Inuktitut Inuk is one person and Inuit is the people (it already means “the people”). Careful English follows that: one Inuk, many Inuit — not Inuits.
Learner books學習用的書 may treat Inuk as simply another word for "an Inuit,"可能會把Inuk直接當成「an Inuit」的另一種說法, and English speakers often do say an Inuit for one person而英語使用者確實也常用an Inuit來指一個人。Though actually不過其實, in Inuktitut在Inuktitut語裡 Inuk is one person and Inuit is the peopleInuk指一個人,Inuit指這個民族整體 (it already means "the people")(Inuit這個字本身就已經是「這群人」的意思)。Careful English follows that嚴謹的英文會照這個規則: one Inuk一個人說one Inuk, many Inuit多個人說many Inuit — not Inuits而不是Inuits。
Capitalize it as you would a people name.
Capitalize it把它的開頭字母大寫 as you would a people name就像對待其他民族名稱一樣。
Do not reach for Eskimo if you can help it; many Inuit, especially in Canada, find it outdated or insulting. Inuk is not a nickname and not a costume word; it names a person.
Do not reach for Eskimo如果可以的話別用Eskimo這個字 if you can help it; many Inuit很多因紐特人, especially in Canada尤其在加拿大, find it outdated or insulting覺得這個字過時或帶有侮辱性。Inuk is not a nickname and not a costume wordInuk不是一個綽號,也不是拿來扮裝用的詞; it names a person它指的是一個真實的人。
