Need an English expert to suggest me a word?

Question

Sorry, English is not my first language so I just need some native speaker or even an expert to help me. I want to know if there is a word in English that have the following meaning:

A person who likes some foreign country;
or a person who wants or is anxious to go abroad to some other country;
or a person who has been living in a foreign country.

Many thanks!

Answer 1

The best word to cover your definition of someone who likes ANY other country would be:

xenophile

As some of the previous answers pointed out, Anglophile means one who likes England, Francophile is someone who likes France. The stem word from the Greek "xeno" is "other" or "foreign" so that would cover ALL other countries. The opposite term, meaning someone who is afraid of or who dislikes other countries or their people is called a "xenophobe."

As for someone living in another country different from that of their birth, "expatriate" is correct.

Answer 2

For a person who likes a foreign country, you have to make an adjective out of the country's name and add "phile". e.g. a Francophile, a Germanophile, etc. etc. It's not always easy!

A person who wants to go abroad is a prospective emigré and a person who has been living in a foreign country is a former expatriate (expat for short).

You see how dependent English is on other languages for this! Greek, French and Latin! Perhaps the English don't see the need for such words, as they are happy to stay put!

trust a prior answerer that crammed is the main impartial, and particular the appropriate. yet, in case you decide on for to furnish it some greater 'oomph', how approximately asserting 'crammed packed with enterprise conferences.'
