the rest of the world doesn't even call them what they call themselves?
>Deutschland
>Germany
>Allemagne
>Tedesco
These four names sound nothing alike, yet they describe the same thing.
Can a German explain?
Because Deutsch is ugly as fuck it sounds like douche
>>73806576
okay, but where do Germany, Allemagne, and Tedesco come from?
>>73806875
Germany because German women should be avoided like germs. I don't know about the other ones because I don't speak worthless languages
You forgot about Niemcy, Nemecko etc
>>73806875
German stems from germanic
Allemagne from the Allemanni tribe (the one that bordered the province of Gallia)
Tedesco - I think it stems from Teuton?
We call them "Saksa" which comes from Saxony(Sachsen)
Also we call United States "Yhdysvallat"
And everyone except Estonia calls us something that sounds nothing like Suomi
>>73808086
What does "Yhdysvallat" translate to?
>>73806576
da fuck

This
Also, same principle applies to Greece. They call it Hellas and they are Hellenes and they speak Hellenic.
Greece/Greek is the anglicization of the Latin name Graeci. The Graecians, from Graecia, were some of the first to colonize Southern Italy and its where the term Magne Graecia comes from (Great Greece, because the colonies/polises in Italy were so wealthy and magnificent).

>>73808086
>When I was a kid I though Suomi(Lat. Somija) was called that because that is where all the bestbags and backpacks(lat. "soma"). came from
deutsch/duits/tedesco/tysk: "the people"
german: latin foreign appellation
niemcy/etc: "stranger"
allemagne/etc: one specific tribe (pars pro toto)
saksa: one specific tribe (pars pro toto)
vokietija: ???
Well try to reverse the argument to check it:
Hungary:
in it's own language: Magyarorszag
in any other language: not Magyarorszag

Netherlands achieved independence from the First Reich in the 17th century. While the many Germans of the First Reich at the time would first see themselves as Saxonians, Bavarians and so on, the Dutch called themselves simply their local dialect of the word "Deutsch" which lead to the Anglos adopting that name for them. Since Germany had always been quite ununified until Bismarck (at a time, there were more than 2000 independent German 'states'), most other cultures simply used the term their closest German neighbours used to self-identify with. For the French, it was the Allemann tribe, in the Eastern Baltic it was the Saxonians, Slavs call us Nemezky or a variation of that because that originally meant 'mute/does not speak our language' in their tongue.

niemcy comes from a word 'niemy' somethin like wordless the one who doesn't speak. And slav(słowianin) comes from a word 'słowo' and means word :)
>>73806875
Tedesco comes from the Latin "Theodiscus", with "Theod" being from ancient German and meaning "people". It was meant to denote German as a language but later it started to denote the German people themselves.
>>73810046
Actually, "Teutsch" is old Germanic for "people" as well and eventually turned to "Deutsch".
some call them "piefkes"
>>73806441
Every country has a different name in every language

German is actually a Gallic word that passed to Latin. Its precise use is uncertain but the possibilities range from "brother" or "cousin" to "neighbor", meanings that are all quite plausible coming from northern Gauls. .
>>73810557
we call them cucknadia.
maple syrup nigger for the person from canada.

>German women should be avoided like germs
I'll take one.
After the war was over, German women were forced by the allies to clean up the rubble BY HAND, and the allies could not believe how fast the job got done.

>Deutschland
"Deutsch" evolved from "theodisce" which means "commoner language", given to us by the Romans
>Germany
What some other, earlier Roman called us, nobody knows what it's supposed to be
>Allemagne
The proud Alemanns, I guess their name translates to "all men", a very tenacious people that resided around the Alps.
>Tedesco
Same as Deutsch
It's confusing to you foreigners because Germany actually consists of several different nations - Franks, Swabians, Bavarians, Saxons, and so forth. The whole idea of clumping us together into one country is an entirely Roman and Holy Roman concept, we had nothing to do with it and never even agreed on it, but Bismarck wasn't exactly a democrat, so he united us regardless of consent.

An innate yearning to hate your neighbour.

Der Deutsche Bund war kein Land. Jeder hat damals sein eigenes Süppchen gekocht. Deswegen hatte das Kaiserreich ja auch so einen abnormen Aufschwung, weil es hier zum ersten Mal überhaupt wirtschaftliche Koordination gab.
>>73811789
Ich wollte ausdrücken, dass es zu dieser Zeit durchaus im Volk eine Sehnsucht nach einer Vereinigung der deutschen Länder gab. Eigentlich ja schon seit Napoleon, als klar wurde, dass eine vereinte Nation viel mehr erreichen kann, als zersplitterte Staaten.
>>73812184
Schon klar, aber die Fürsten hatten nicht das geringste Interesse dran. Höchstwahrscheinlich wegen den Österreichern, die dann folgerichtig von Bismarck gar nicht erst fürs Kaiserreich in Betracht gezogen wurden.

Vacietis or Vācija are not proper forms of the "Vākties", but they share the root.
