the Jewish people or Jewish people, the English people or English people

Hi. Do we put the definitive article "the" before "Jewish people or English people?"

 

[MikeNewYork]

Sometimes. It all depends on context. Do you have one in mind?

And it is "definite" article".

 

[Mher]

Here is one: "The greatest representatives of Jewish people have always shared Armenians’ pain and tragedy."

If you are referring to some/many Jewish people, I would not use the article. If you are referring to Jewish people as a whole, I would use it.

I am not sure about the word representatives there- you're talking about a people spread across many nations, so it is hard for them to have representatives.
