Not just country or continent. If you want to speak of people coming from all parts of the country, like China, you can say 来自全国各地.

I don't think this is how you want to say this.  I'm actually not 100% sure what the correct way would be, but I would take a guess at 可以搭配.

I think 大陆 is generally just going to be interpreted as the Chinese mainland.  Again, I'm not sure what the correct term would be, but I think it would be 洲 (or perhaps 大洲?).

*** 大陸 and 大洲 are both “continent,” but there are typically 6 大陸(包括亞歐大陸) and 7 大洲(包括歐洲和亞洲)

 

If OP is trying to say “can work with,” then unfortunately 與X一起用 which is most straightforward does not lend itself to this type of list ordering.

Thank you for all the answers!

I will make it more simple to make sure its understood correctly!

 

我来自 - Wǒ láizì - ..I come from/I am from..

 

- 美国 - Měiguó - United States

- 欧洲 - Ōuzhōu - Europe

- 巴西 - Bāxī - Brazil 

 

Is this correct then?

我来自美国 - I am from the United States

我来自欧洲 - I am from Europe
我来自巴西 - I am from Brazil

我来自中国 - I am from China

Thanks!

So if I want to make similar phrases, which are simply the following:

- I am American

- I am European

- I am Brazilian

- I am Chinese

I have to add the "人-   rén - correct?

 

In this way it would be the following?

 

我是美国 -  Wǒ shì měiguó rén - I am American (I am United States people)

 

我是欧洲 - Wǒ shì ōuzhōu rén - I am European (I am Europe people)

 

我是巴西 - Wǒ shì Bāxī rén - I am Brazilian (I am Brazil people)

 

我是 中国Wǒ shì zhōngguó rén - I am Chinese (I am China people)

Enjoy it while you can. Compared with most other languages, Chinese grammar and sentence structure are a breeze: Look Ma, No Conjugations!

 

The main difficulty is the written form, of course. And speaking so that you can be understood. Spend two or three years studying Chinese and studying hard, only to find time and again that you get a blank puzzled stare in return whenever you try to speak it. You won't be thinking Chinese is so easy then.
