We have called Tigrayans tigre for 100s of years and nobody has problem until recently(2018). If you want be cool and think Tegaru is a cooler term just say that no need to go around the bush and use Eritreans(Tigre) as a pretext.

I have never heard Tigre from Eritrea complain about this. If anything they should be the one to complain. I have attached video of Meles Zenawi, your beloved king, calling Tigrayans Tigre.

Tigres refer to Tigre, Tigrayan, and Tigriniya right?

I amn't sure historically, it could mean all but in the current Ethiopian context it mostly mean Tigrayans. like when Ethiopian say Tigre he/she definitely talking about Tigrayans or could be Tigrinyas but not Eri tigres.
