sorry folks. argentinian is probably a word but the correct usage is "argentine", whether you are referring to a person or a thing. you could also call them argies, but they might not like it that much. but other south americans call them all sorts of colorful names which probably yahoo would censor! hahaahhaaha

Things are Argentinean

Both can be used, it depends on the context. For example: HE IS ARGENTINIAN is ok, HE IS ARGENTINE is wrong.
ARGENTINE PEOPLE is ok. ARGENTINIAN PEOPLE is ok too.
ETC...

It depends upon the context to which you refer. Both are correct depending on how you use them. Spanish or Spaniard is another. English or Englishman another.

One is plural and the other is singular
i.e.
He is ARGENTINE
They are ARGENTINIAN
