[@toddwebb7521]

Well Italian has it correct according to Latin, Germania is the Latin name for it. Iirc Romanian also has it like that and the English version Germany is a derivative of the Latin

[@andyx6827]

@@toddwebb7521 You're wrong. Germania is the Latin word for the region "north of the Danube river and east of the Rhine river". It's literally not the correct word for the country Germany. It's extremely incorrect. First of all, not all of Germany is to the east of the Rhine, nor to the north of the Danube. Second of all, that description fits way more countries, e.g. Denmark, Netherlands, Belgium, and to an extent even Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary etc. They were considered "Germania" by the Romans as well. Imagine calling Israel "Babylonia", just because some ancient people used that word in the past. It's not correct. Saying Germany/Germania/Jerman is just as wrong as Allemagne/Alemania/Almanya (which is just one tribe), or Saksa (which is just one tribe), or Niemcy/Njemačka/Nemetorszag (which means mute). The only ones who get our name somewhat right are the Netherlands and Japan. They call us "Duitsland" and "Doitsu" respectively. So yeah, shoutout to the Netherlands and Japan. Everyone else is wrong.

[@lissandrafreljord7913]

Alemaña/Alemanha/Allemagne don't come from Latin. They come from the Alemannic West Germanic dialect, which literally means All Man. They Alemanni were a confederation of West Germanic tribes that inhabited in present-day Southwest Germany (Baden-Wuttenberg/Swabia), Switzerland, and Alsace (in France), hence why the German dialect spoken in these regions are referred to Alemannic German. Aside from Palatinate and Luxembourg, where they speak a Franconian dialect, Switzerland and Baden-Wuttenberg are the only part of the German speaking world that share a border with France. Hence France associated the Alemannic people as the general name for all German people, which isn't true, since Germany consisted of other West Germanic tribes like the Bavarians, Thuringians, Franconians, Saxons, Frisians. Eventually Spain and Portugal adopted the term Alemaña and Alemanha, respectively, from France. Italy has kept the term Germania from Latin, though a German person is called Tedesco in Italian, deriving from Theodiscus, which has the same root as the German Deutsche, English Teutonic, and Scandinavian Tysk.

[@gerohubner5101]

In many european regions or languages, the word for Germany is derived from the germanic tribes they first came in contact with. For Southwest europeans (France, Spain, Portugal) it has been the Alemans (living in the Southwest of today's Germany and Switzerland). For Suomi (Finnish) and Eesti e.g. it's "Saksa", due to the Saxons living in the northern and northeastern part. Some other languages have taken their designations from the old greek and (later) latin "Germania", while the slavic people simply called these guys "Nemacki" or "Niemzy", meaning " unable to speak", because our ancestors were unable to speak their (slavic) languages. The German name for German (also used in Scandinavia and the Netherlands) is derived from the proto-germanic word for the common language these tribes used. But all that happened many many many centuries ago...

[@NeinDochOhh]

German: The ending "-reich"*, like in "Frankreich" or "Vereinigtes Königreich", does not mean directly "land". It means more like "empire" or "-dom" like in "kingdom", so a territory somebody (mostly a king or emperor) rules/ruled. Interestingly, we refer to our own country only as a simple "-land -> Deutschland", while we classify France and Britain as empires (or Kingdom) (Frankreich & Vereinigtes Königreich). So we are more modest linguistically about our own country. ;-) This also reflects the history of Europe. While Great Britain and France were already united empires, we were still blobbering around in the Holy Roman Empire of German Nations in hundreds of small counties, free imperial cities and duchies. It was not until 1871 that all the small German states were united to form an empire, which led to the founding of modern Germany. *According to the Etymological Dictionary of Old High German, the word and the associated adjective "reich" are of Celtic origin and were most likely borrowed from the Germanic tribes due to their adoption of Celtic legal norms. The Celts understood by it the ideal or material wealth. The Old High German "rîhhi" also already corresponds to the original territory (to command), Latin "imperium" "that which is under command". The meaning of "rîhhi" includes "government; rule, violence; rich, powerful; high. Even today there is the word "Reich" for a territorial area and "reich" as an adjective for being rich in the German language.

Frankfurt, Franca, France, Franken (in Bavaria), Frankreich refer all to the same: the Germanic tribe confederation 'die Franken/the Franks' who became a dominant factor after the fall of the Western Roman Empire (and it was actually due to Germanic tribe laws why the Empire was split among the sons into three parts - the western part got Frankreich/France', the Eastern Part is 'vague' Germany, but back then it turned to the Holy Roman Empire and the center part became split or part of the Eastern or Western Franks - or independent kingdoms/states.

Lauren: you are right: it is called "tilde"! That Spanish guy has no clue.

[@luismanuelriosalvarado226]

Yes, Lauren is right. Although tilde is something more general because we have different tildes (ü, ñ, á, etc.) . The specific name for the tilde used in letter N to make an Ñ is commonly "Virgulilla". The most confusing part is that there are other signs like apostrophe ('), cedilla (ç) and acute accent (á, é, í, ó, ú) that can also be called Virgulilla. The confusion of the Spanish guy is maybe because although all that I've mentioned, native Spanish speakers tend to use only one name to refer to every specific ortographic sound and we tend to ignore the other possible meanings. For example, we typically call the acute accent as tilde or acento, the sign over the n (ñ) as virgulilla, the 2 dots over the u (ü) as diéresis.

[@EdgarRenje]

The reason why Germany is called differently across different languages is, because back then they dealt with a specific tribes within the region which is nowadays Germany.

The reason why the name of the country of the Netherlands is in plural, has to do with the nickname of the country, which is Holland. When the country became independent in the 16th century, it started out as a confederate republic. The name of it was: The Republic of the Seven United Netherlands, or the Dutch Republic. The most important province, or state in that republic was Holland. Which is why everyone around the world knows the country simply as Holland. Because most people, who travelled, came from that state in the Dutch Republic. The Dutch Republic changed into the Kingdom of the Netherlands in the 19th century.

[@judna1]

Hi! About the Spanish "ñ", it's true that's the only language that uses that "tilde" in a consonant (at least in Romance Languages, I'm not sure, that's what I believe), however, Portuguese for instance, uses it in different vowels in words like: "canção" (song) or "canções" (songs). But it's actually sort of the same thing, that kind of "tilde" adds an "n" to that letter. That's why those vowels in Portuguese are called "nasais" (nasals), 'cause you have to use the nose to pronounce them. Other romance languages have the same sound as the Spanish "ñ" by the way, but with a different spelling: - "Ny" (Catalan) - "Nh" (Portuguese and Occitan) - "Gn" (Italian and French) To name a few...

[@catinabox3048]

I think the point is that words are gendered despite not having "natural" genders. For example, nothing about a sandwich is inherently masculine, and nothing about a napkin is inherently feminine. Nothing about Canada is inherently masculine, and nothing about China is inherently feminine. It takes a lot of practice and memorization to learn these things. Also, many times the gender for a word in German is different from the gender of the same word in Romance languages, so the idea that it "makes sense" is a bit of a stretch. There may be certain patterns relating articles to endings, but there are very few rules in terms of which types of words correspond to which articles/genders.

[@ral7013]

Right. She said there are no rules, which is false. For example, diminutives are always neutral (das Männchen, das Weibchen, das Mädchen), words originating from Latin and ending with "ion" are always female (die Information, die Direktion), etc.

[@slummymind6169]

you don't conjugate every word in german. that doesn't even make sense. there are some changes happening for example depending on the case but there are also significant changes happening in spanish beyond the conjugation of verbs.

[@andyx6827]

Of course you don't conjugate every word, as conjugation can only be done with verbs. For nouns and adjectives it's called declination. And yes, Spanish has the same cases as German. But in Spanish the cases are typically indicated with prepositions instead of changing the word. For example, "the dog's house" would be "das Haus deS HundES" in German, but in Spanish it would simply be "la casa del perro". So in German we changed "der Hund" into "des Hundes", but in Spanish "el perro" didn't change at all, we simply added "de" in the front and merged it with "el".

[@luscofusco0331]

That simbole, also used in nasal vowels in portuguese, is called 'tilde'. The origim of tilde its an 'n' also in portuguese so the tilde is used where in the past were an 'n'.

In Spain we may also call Netherlands (Paises bajos) just Holland (Holanda) in some cases. The same way we may just call UK England (Inglaterra). I think it's because we have more history with those certain regions so they tend to be called like that for a lot of people.

[@thevannmann]

In Vietnamese, the Netherlands is Hà Lan (from Chinese 荷蘭) and is an obvious reference to Holland. Similarly, the UK is colloquially known as nước Anh or Anh Quốc (from Chinese 英國) and is a reference to England. English speakers can also say "Holland" to refer to the Netherlands.

[@andyx6827]

No. This applies to pretty much every country around the world. It's not because you have more history with them. You're not special.

It would be very funny to see a video about genders of the words. For example: in portuguese, nose is a masculine word (o nariz), in spanish is feminine (la nariz). I think this happens in french and german too.

In Scottish Gaelic the country names are: (kh pronounced as breathing out when your tongue is in the shape you would make for a K, like in Bach) (ø pronounced like if you put your mouth in the shape for 'O' but say 'A' instead, like the German 'ö') (ai pronounced like the word 'eye') The United Kingdom: An Rìoghachd Aonaichte (an REE-yakhk Ø-nukh-tscha) France: An Fhraing (an raing) Germany: A' Ghearmailt (a YER-malsht) Spain: An Spainn (an shpan) Norway: Nirribhidh (NI-ri-vee) The Netherlands: An Òlaind (an AW-landž) (most commonly called Holland) Na Tìrean Ìsle (na TSCHEE-ren EESH-la) (The Low Countries) Belgium: A' Bheilg (a veylg)

[@visenyatargaryen9130]

Boring topic, has been repeated for a thousandth times! My suggestions 1. Naming systems differences (children names, women name after marriage, patronymic, etc). Guests from Korea, Japan, an Arab country, a Spanish speaking country, a Portuguese speaking country, a Slavic country, Iceland and Indonesia. They are all different 2. Latin alphabet pronounciation differences. Guest : any countries that use latin alphabet.

In Spanish the "tilde" of the ñ is called virgulilla.

[@JP-en7cc]

And it actually originated not as a tilde, but as a little N in the top of another one. When priests tryied to save space while writting words with 2 n together they just moved it on the top of the first one, so words like Espanna evolved into España. With time it also changed they way people pronounced

[@BlackHoleSpain]

It's also called tilde in Spanish. Check the Dictionary of Royal Spanish Academy. This message was removed earlier because I wrote down the URL.

[@therake6733]

Y antiguamente solía ser otra “n” sobre la principal, pero se acabó achatando hasta ser lo que es ahora

[@BlackHoleSpain]

@@JP-en7cc In fact in Latin, a "virgula" was just a stroke made when writing. Ñ and Ç are examples of small strokes over an N and under a C.
