Hi,
When someone ask you about your nationality, do you have to put the indefinite particle "a/an" before the noun of nationality? Or is it an option?
e.g.
A: Are you an Irish? (Can you omit the "a")
B: No, I am a scottish. (Can you omit the "a")
Could someone help me understand this please.
Thanks in advance.
