It may suprise you that most names of countries and their cities you read on the Map or you see on thr news may not be the actual name if you get there. It may suprise you that a German man or woman never knew his country is being called Germany. A spanish man may have never heard that his country is being called Spain Same goes to every other European countries You may be traveling from Nigeria to Germany, Hoping that you will see something like Germany on the billboard. Or then trying to get a ticket to Munich and you expect that the ticket sales person knows where is Munich. I had an experience when i got to italia, i was trying to get a ticket going to Rome, everyone on the streets was like "What is Rome?" I was suprised that every italian man never knew that their capital territory is called Rome. So i want to use this opportunity to give the local names of European countries and its cities Italy- Italia Germany- Deutschland Spain- España Switzerland- Schweiz (Dutch) Suisse (french) Svizzera (Italian) Netherland- Nederland Austria- Österreich Belgium - Belgique And the major cities Rome - Roma Lisbon - Lisboa Munich- Munchen Milan- Milano Florence -Firenze Venice- Venezia Vienna- Wien Zurich- Zürich Geneva- Genève Naples- Napoli Sicily- Sicilia Turin- Torino Brussels- Bruxelles 1 Like |
