If it makes you feel better, we say Hellas here in Norway

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

That's the spirit. You just made my day.

[Rosbjerg]

who do you think we feel when we say we're Danish and Americans reply with "isn't that something you eat?" ..

[DSLuke]

How do you think when americans say : it's all greek to me...

[Ameorn]

Well, we've got a swed (me) a norwegian (Alyt) and a dane (Rosbjerg) Whatch out everyone, Scandinavia is invading and taking over everything!

[jedipodo]

I do care because the word Greek was a word Turks used for us when we were slaves of them less than 200 years before.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

And you want to make us believe that you have suffered a trauma by this times?

I think you are going over the top a little bit ...

[Ludozee]

It is always the people from the small countries that suffer...

 

 

:ph34r:

[DSLuke]

My country may be small, but its Great.

[GarethCarrots]

and the people from big uber countries that think they dont suffer but do cos they act like such morons, mwhaha

[Jeric Soran]

oh well if you walk from the north to the south of greece you wouldn't say that

[DSLuke]

I'm just happy to have been born in a country that has given much to the mankind.

 

Even though its been a long time since we gave everything.

[Ludozee]

My country may be small, but its Great.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

That goes for mine, too :cool:

[Laozi]

I'm from Texas, thats a relatively small country

[jedipodo]

Well I think the word Germany is absolutly correct for someone who doesn't live here. Because it comes from "Germania" (latin). The first time the word Deutsch appeared was in the 400th century and English was already developed why should they change it?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

 

Yes, why change it? From that point of view the British are the Angels and the Saxons, the Dutch are Germans, too, and the Italians, descendants of the Romans, still call all of us the Barbarians, or what?

[jedipodo]

My country may be small, but its Great.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

From a certain point of view...

Remember the times of Aristotle, Socrates and Plato.

[Jedi Master D Murda]

I'm pretty late on this one but thanks for the info Chris.

[Rosbjerg]

Well, we've got a swed (me) a norwegian (Alyt) and a dane (Rosbjerg) Whatch out everyone, Scandinavia is invading and taking over everything! 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

nah ..we Danes don't like to run things .. but we do like to criticize those in power! because we know we could do a better job, we just don't want to!

 

but if you want to invade the world your welcome, I would much rather invite a Swedish superpower than any one of those that exist today ..

[Guest Fallen Jedi]

Well, we've got a swed (me) a norwegian (Alyt) and a dane (Rosbjerg) Whatch out everyone, Scandinavia is invading and taking over everything! 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Actually only Sweden and Norway are to be considered Scandinavian countries.

(Sorry for being a smart-ass )

[Laozi]

Didn't you guys almost exstinguish the Finns at one time?

[Rosbjerg]

Didn't you guys almost exstinguish the Finns at one time?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

not us .. maybe Sweden .. they occupied Finland once..

[Guest Fallen Jedi]

Didn't you guys almost exstinguish the Finns at one time?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

What do you mean by "you guys"?

 

Yes, we were once a "part of Sweden"

 

But no, we haven't been even close to extinguishing.

 

Actually only Sweden and Norway are to be considered Scandinavian countries.

(Sorry for being a smart-ass    )

Nope. Sweden and Norway are Scandinavian countries because the Scandinavian mountains (=Skandit in Finnish) are between Norway and Sweden.

Scandinavia is the cultural and historic region of the Scandinavian Peninsula. The Scandinavian countries are Norway, Sweden and Denmark, which mutually recognize each other as parts of Scandinavia. The collective label "Scandinavia" reflects the cultural similarity between these countries despite their political independence. The terms Fennoscandia and Fenno-Scandinavia are sometimes used for an extended region.

 

The usage and meaning of the term outside Scandinavia is somewhat ambiguous:

 

Finland and Iceland are many times counted as parts of Scandinavia.

In a German mindset, Norway, Sweden and Finland are usually included, but Denmark is not.

In a British mindset, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark are usually included, often with the addition of Iceland and Finland.

These alternative meanings are considered incorrect in the local languages, and occasionally some people may take offense by such usage in English.

 

The term the Nordic countries is used unambiguously for the Scandinavian kingdoms of Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and the republics of Finland and Iceland.

 

The terms Fennoscandia and Fenno-Scandinavia may either be used to include the Scandinavian peninsula, the Kola peninsula, Karelia and Finland under the same term alluding to the Fennoscandian Shield, or they may be used in a more cultural sense, more or less as a synonyme for the Nordic countries, to signify the historically close contact between Finnic, Sami and Scandinavian peoples and cultures.

 

Outside of Europe, the Netherlands are sometimes mistakenly considered Scandinavian as well. The reason for this seems to be confusion with Denmark; both are small Teutonic countries bordering the North Sea, and the adjectives Dutch and Danish are a bit alike.

I really guarantee that Denmark is part of scandinavia .. You must be thinking of something else! because all of the 6 million people in our country consider themselves scandinavian!! and don't tell me you know better than the entire population of Denmark ..

+ everyone in Norway and Sweden count Denmark as part of the group as well..
