    47,500 google hits can't be wrong http://www.google.ie/search?hl=ga&q=chypriote&btnG=Cuardach+Google&meta=

    It's weird - the "e" seems to used after both masculine and feminine nouns.

    Hey thanks, I don't suppose you know another word for "but" in French apart from "mais"? I'm trying to say "but if you want"

    Um, maybe "pourtant, si vous voulez..."?

    "Pourtant" is closer to "however", though.

    Or maybe "Si vous voulez quand même" = "if you want, all the same".

    It's hard to tell what sounds best without more context!

    "mais" could be also :
    cependant
