"Germany" is the literal pseudo-Jutordic translation of "Dado", or "Dadio" in related Gaulic-Gothic, which means "Land of the dads" roughly in English
The French do it and all Romance-speaking countries. So do you guys actually because 'patriot' comes from pater - father.
Because Germany is made of many fatherless kingdoms who all share the same father.
>all Romance-speaking countries
objectively wrong
in spanish it's "madre patria" (motherland)
Where do you think the word patria comes from?
>Tfw a jew has to correct germany on nationalism
The motherland
>muh etymology
nigger it doesn't matter where the word comes from, what matters and what everyone cares about is the word's meaning. madre patria literally translates to motherland and the words could come from the ancient southern greenlandic word for dead fish that their meaning wouldn't change.
Why is Russia motherland then?
Mother Russia, ZAAA RODINAA! etc.
Because the word "Rodina" is feminine
They already know how horrible german women are
Daddy issues. They're OG bastards of Europeans.
We have the word očetnjava which means fatherland but is feminine.
don't they use heimat?
we use domovina (homeland) or, more rarely, djedovina (grandfatherland)
This is why grammatical gender is retarded
djedovina is also feminine lmao
Because heimat is just a general place and can apply to anything from your village to your planet.
huh
because boys are better than girls :3
>he is a native speaker of a "language" without genders
otadžbina da sam sasvim iskren s tobom
za mene, to je mati hrvatska
Russians and Poles also use the word "otchizna/ojczyzna" that is feminine, but means literally "fatherland".
r8
za mene to je kralj i otadzbina-Jugoslavija
"Otechestvo" ("Oтeчecтвo") - Fatherland.
"Rodina" ("Poдинa") - Motherland.
>madre patria
>mother fatherland
Always confused me.
>mfw gonna mock the krauts
>mfw go through the list and see Latvian on it
>mfw I have so little real life interaction with people that I am forgetting my own language
We use Patrie, which means fatherland as well.
Because the lands that gave birth to you belonged to your fathers
I guess
when the motherland and fatherland go to war is it a domestic dispute?
It's more like "birth-ia". Neither parent is mentioned.
Latvian is not your language mr Ivanovs
mr Johnson's toilet ain't gonna clean itself mr kowalski.
Jel si video novu knjigu o Aleksandru Karadjordjevicu, prvom kralju Jugoslavije? Mislim da bi ti se svidela
bacim ti teže susramlje na objavu
ma brate ne znam srpski jos tako dobro da citam knjige, ne bih razumeo polovinu napisanog teksta
Tito mi je takode drag kao svaki covek koji se borio za Jugoslaviju i o njoj sanjao
>He doesnt call his country "parentland"
Pathetic
>The French do it
No. They say 'la mère patrie'
We don't say la Mère Patrie, we just say la Patrie
we are nationalist, germans are not
>madre patria
>mother fatherland
