I took an informal survey of my international friends, and the general impression I got is that "American" mean "from the US" everywhere except Latin America.

- pluma 9y agoGerman here. "Amerikaner" unambiguously refers to US Americans. I have no idea how I would refer to someone from either of the Americas because I've never had the need to group North America with Latin America -- oh, and also "Nordamerika" typically just means "US and Canada" just like "Europa" typically excludes Russia. Sorry.
