Usage Note
Connazionale refers to someone from the same country as the speaker. It is an epicene noun — the form is the same for masculine and feminine, distinguished only by the article: il connazionale (m) / la connazionale (f). It is more formal than compatriota and commonly appears in news reporting about Italians abroad.
Examples
"Ho incontrato un connazionale a Berlino."
