Nous y retournons demain.

We go back there tomorrow

"Il n'a pas pu retourner de la guerre.

He couldn't return from the war.

Can I say

He couldn't return from there

Does it work like that?

The Word: Burgond/e

When I look up burgond/e in wordreference or anywhere else, nothing appears. But, Bourgogne does show for the Burgundy region. Is a burdgond/e someone form the region? Why is it not bourgogne/bourgogné or something else more similar?
