Used in a sentence

  • Born and brought tip mostly in South America, the United States (particularly Hawaii) and Canada, the nisei and sansei have Japanese features but often speak the language imperfectly, if at all.
  • The Nisei, on the other hand, are more inclined to view the hyphenated Japanese Canadian identity with positive implications.
  • Decrypts fly out of a line printer on the other end and are taken off to another hut where American nisei, and some white men trained in Nipponese, translate them.
