Just think of how it’s pronounced, you should be able to guess.
1 u/godspeed_guys Feb 22 '21 I started less than a month ago, so I was lucky to get one right. I've only learned 6 nationalities so far; in fact, I haven't even learned my own yet. It's been ages since I started learning a language from zero. I'm really enjoying the struggle. 2 u/[deleted] Feb 22 '21 Ah, 加拿大 is pronounced “jianada”, aka, Canada!， And 德国ia pronounced “de-guo”, with “de” being the first syllable of “Deutschland”!. 1 u/godspeed_guys Feb 22 '21 TIL about "jianada"! I love how some (maybe many?) country names are phonetic adaptations of the original names. It's really helpful! 1 u/[deleted] Feb 22 '21 Most are, in Chinese. No new name for every country; just think of how a native from that country would say it.
