This Freaked Me Out Today

If you're from Australia, you're Australian. If you're from Ireland, you're Irish. If you're from New Zeland, you're.... WHAT? A New Zelander, yes, but I don't think there is an adjective form of it. New Zelandese? New Zeland....ish? Esque

Perhaps

New Zealapharian, or New Zealaysians, or The New Zealish, or New Zealandrodytes, or New Zealinians, or New Zealabillies, or New Zealads and Lasses?
And the with-it Moari hip-hop kids are calling themselves "Da NuZ".

"New Zealander" is apparently correct, although colloquially the adjective is often "Kiwi." For serious.

And it seems that "New Zealandian" may also be used where "New Zealander" doesn't work.

Lura's right, they're often referred to as "Kiwis."

Yummy... kiwis are tasty....and i mean the fruit. I have no idea how people from new Zealand taste...and now I sound like a cannibal...

[swing_potato]

I thought everyone called them Kiwis.
Maybe I'm just weird because I don't think that's weird...

So it's "A Kiwi girl" or a "Kiwi guy"?
