How should it be said correctly when referring to our origin in the current country that we are in? I have two choices between adjective to noun and I'm not sure what I should use.
"We are foreign"
or
"We are foreigners"?
The contexts are as follow:
-
We are in a country which is not our origin.
-
We are in a place (even in our country of origin) where we don't belong to.
-
We ask our children to foreigners or people who are foreign.
-
I saw in my neighborhood a person that's not local. (He is foreign or foreigner).
Best Answer
is usually what you say when you are in a different country than your native country. Foreigners is a noun specific for saying that you are from another country other than the one you're in. Foreign is more general. It can be used to mean strange or unfamiliar, as well as a slew of other definitions.
