Used to express national belonging or heritage, important for discussing cultural backgrounds. As a Cypriot, I take pride in our traditional music.
Pro Tip 2/3
Not Greek or Turkish
Be careful not to assume a Cypriot is Greek or Turkish; Cyprus has a distinct identity. Although Cypriot cuisine is influenced by Greece, it has unique aspects.
Pro Tip 3/3
Geographical Specificity
Refers generally to people from Cyprus, but not to those from a specific city or region within Cyprus. Cypriots from all over the island enjoy the annual carnival.
