Pinoy 皮諾伊

Pinoy
譯自英文-皮諾伊（Pinoy）是菲律賓人常用的非正式自我參照，用來指菲律賓公民及其文化以及散居在菲律賓的海外菲律賓人。
混有外國血統的菲律賓人通常被非正式地稱為麥斯提索人（Mestizo）的縮寫詞。許多菲律賓人稱自己為Pinoy，有時稱其為女性化的Pinay，而不是標準術語菲律賓人。
菲律賓語是用於稱呼菲律賓公民的普遍的正式單詞。
Pinoy (/ˈpɪnɔɪ/ Tagalog: [‘pɪnɔi]) is a common informal self-reference used by Filipinos to refer to citizens of the Philippines and their culture as well as to overseas Filipinos in the Filipino diaspora.
A Pinoy with a mix of foreign ancestry is often informally called Tisoy, a shortened word for Mestizo.
Many Filipinos refer to themselves as Pinoy, sometimes the feminine Pinay (/ˈpɪnaɪ/ Tagalog: [‘pɪnai]), instead of the standard term Filipino.
[page needed] Filipino is the widespread formal word used to call a citizen of the Philippines. Pinoy is formed by taking the last four letters of Filipino and adding the diminutive suffix -y in the Tagalog language (the suffix is commonly used in Filipino nicknames: e.g. “Noynoy” or “Kokoy” or “Toytoy”).
Pinoy was used for self-identification by the first wave of Filipinos going to the continental United States before World War II and has been used both in a pejorative sense and as a term of endearment, similar to Desi.
Pinoy was created to differentiate the experiences of those immigrating to the United States, but is now a slang term used to refer to all people of Filipino descent.
“Pinoy music” impacted the socio-political climate of the 1970s and was employed by both Philippine president Ferdinand Marcos and the People Power Revolution that overthrew his regime.
Recent mainstream usages tend to center on entertainment (Pinoy Big Brother) that can be watched on Pinoy Tambayan and music (Pinoy Idol), which have played a significant role in developing national and cultural identity.
