Real Names Of Countries You Thought You Knew #shorts
Transcript: Did you know that in France people call it La République Française! That’s its fancy, official
name.
You might be surprised that the official name Greece is actually called Hellenic Republic. Even
locals call it Hellas or Ellinikí Dimokratía! That’s a lot of syllables for such a beautiful country!
Next, South Korea. People call it Daehan Minguk! Sounds so epic, doesn’t it? The term
"Daehan" means "Great Han" and refers to the Three Kingdoms of Korea. South Koreans also
refer to their country as "uri nara", which means "our nation" or "our country".
Spain is not Spain in Spanish. The locals call it España! That one’s closer, but still—bet you
didn’t know that!
And Brazil? Officially, it's República Federativa do Brasil! So many words for the land of football
and samba!
