jan Mewika = usonano.
jan pi ma Mewika = usonano.

jan Kanse = franco.
jan pi ma Kanse = franciano = loĝanto de Francio.

Ne ĉiu franciano estas franco, nek ĉiu franco estas franciano, ĉu?

Pu has "meli Sonko" for "Chinese lady". In Ku (as far as I remember), she later states that something like "meli pi ma Sonko" is less ambiguous. But basically "meli Sonko" and "meli pi ma Sonko" is the same. I leave the tag "lipu pu" because of "jan Mewika/Kanse" instead of "jan pi ma Mewika/Kanse".
