Hello,

I want to know the exact meaning of New Yorker.

The dictionary says New Yorker means "a person from New York." Here I wonder whether New York mean both the state of New York and the city of New York or just means a person from the city of New York.

Which one is correct?

Thank you all the time.

Hi Sabrinak,

I believe it means a person from the city of New York. Maybe a New Yorker can respond.

It's good for both. See the Wiki page here for a list of demonyms.
