Faroese (countable and uncountable, plural Faroese)

1. (countable) A person from the Faroe Islands, Faroe Islander or Faeroe Islander

As with other terms for people formed with -ese, the countable singular noun in reference to a person (as in "I am a Faroese", "writing about Faroese cuisine as a Faroese") is uncommon and often taken as incorrect. In its place, the adjective is used, by itself (as in "I am Faroese") or with a word like person, man, or woman ("writing about Faroese cuisine as a Faroese person").
