1
person strongly loyal to their nation
A person who feels very strong loyalty to their country and wants to protect its interests and way of life.
Corak penggunaan:
[someone] is a nationalist
Kesilapan biasa:
Learners often confuse 'nationalist' with 'national'. Use 'nationalist' for a person with strong political or emotional support for their country (e.g., 'She is a nationalist'), and 'national' as an adjective for something belonging to a country (e.g., 'a national holiday'). 'Patriotic' is usually more positive and emotional, while 'nationalist' is more political and can sound negative in some contexts.
Sinonim
patriot (Emphasizes love and pride for one’s country, usually more positive and less political than 'nationalist'.)
Antonim
internationalist (Focuses on cooperation between countries rather than putting one nation’s interests above all others.)

Describing things like ideas, groups, or actions that are based on strong support for one country and its interests.
Corak penggunaan:
nationalist [noun]

Sinonim
patriotic (Often more positive and emotional; 'nationalist' is more political and can suggest stronger or harder positions.)

supporter of exclusionary nationalism
A person who strongly puts their own nation first and is often against immigrants, minorities, or other countries.
Corak penggunaan:
[someone] is a nationalist
Kesilapan biasa:
Learners may not realize that 'nationalist' can sound negative when it suggests hatred or exclusion. In news reports, 'nationalist' can mean extreme or far-right, not just 'loving one’s country'. Check the context to see if the word is neutral, positive, or critical.
Sinonim
chauvinist (Suggests exaggerated, aggressive national pride and contempt for other nations; often more clearly negative than 'nationalist'.)
Antonim
cosmopolitan (Describes someone who feels at home with many cultures and does not put one nation above others.)

4
supporter of national independence
A person who wants their country to be free from another country’s control and works for independence.
Corak penggunaan:
[someone] is a nationalist
Kesilapan biasa:
Learners sometimes assume 'nationalist' is always modern or right-wing. In history books, 'nationalists' often refers to people fighting against colonial or foreign control, and it can be seen as positive or heroic in that context.
Sinonim
independence activist (Focuses more on political activity for independence; may sound less ideological than 'nationalist'.)
Antonim
loyalist (In this context, a person who supports continued rule by the existing power rather than independence.)

strongly nation‑first in attitude
Showing very strong support for one country and putting it above other countries, sometimes in an unfriendly way.
Corak penggunaan:
nationalist [policy / stance / view]
Kesilapan biasa:
Learners may use 'national' instead of 'nationalist' when they mean a strong 'nation first' attitude. Use 'nationalist policy' for a policy that strongly puts the country first; use 'national policy' simply for a policy that is used in the whole country.
Sinonim
nativist (Often stresses favoring native-born people over immigrants; overlaps with critical uses of 'nationalist'.)
Antonim
pro-globalization (Supports closer international links and cooperation rather than putting a single nation first.)
