>english: greek
>greek: hellenic
>turkish: yunan
explain this shit
romans called us greeks
we called ourselves hellines
yunan comes from the word ionas, which describes the people of ionia (asia minor) aka the greeks
The Greek name for the Greek people is Ellines.
The Romans called them Greek after one tribe, and the Middle Easterns after another.
Kind of like how we call you Dutch because we thought you were Germans.

>yunan
How Asiatic sounding
>>52192550
>>52192556
So do greeks get triggered when they are called greek or yunan?
>>52192811
no noone gets offended by that, except for that crazy "I AM HELLENE" bitch, who is wrong anyways
>>52192811
They'd probably get offended if you said you fucked their goat.
>>52192395
in turkish just we call you yunan(ionian) just for insulting greece
english and all other races calls you greek because they know you are greek.
greeks are delusional to call them hellenic. you are not hellenic nor ionian
>>52192925
Why is she wrong?
>>52193137
she uses the word "I". She didnt invent any of those things.
she makes no sense what so ever.
Also, I'm sure I say opa in a daily basis, but not in the dancing context. We use it for surprise or even to calm someone down.

english
>germany
german
>deutschland
french
>allemagne
polish
>niemcy
danish
>tyskland
>>52193320
Well if that's the case we invented modern western world by conquering Istanbul.
>>52193502
ARE YOU RETARED ?
The word "Yunan" literally transformed from the word "İyon" overtime.
I'm not talking about calling them "Ionians" on internet. I'm talking about etymology.
>>52193543
Sick reference bro xDxD. How is being I*nian ?xDxD
>>52193701
italians also call you tedeschi for some reason
So why are what should be called the Netherlandish people and language referred to as "Dutch"?
>>52193320
Damn, cringed
>>52193701
>tyskland
More like Turksland, amirite?
>>52192556
We called everyone Dutch, just, the Dutch became so relevant they exclusively became the Dutch and Germans were relegated to German

Germans used to call Italy Welschland, so they're even.
>>52192550
we call you Yavan, also after Ionia
>>52193953
>Saberjnet'i
??
>>52193821
Because Netherlands sounds like German, so Anglos just called you the same thing.
Dutch comes from Deutsch
>>52193954
Welsh is just the Indo-European word for stranger, so if your country is named after that it means you're truly irrelevant.
See: Wales
>>52193821
Dutch in English originally referred to all germanic speaking peoples on the continental Europe
Netherlands became super relevant and English speaking people came to associate exclusively with that.
Overtime the usage referring to other "dutch" degraded to the point they were no longer labelled that
>>52193953
why is Norway such a fucking outcast?
>>52193953
>>52194433
In the Middle ages, the Byzantines hired Norse body guards, so they probably got it from there.
>>52193818
>italians also call you tedeschi for some reason
It's the same root as ''Deutsch''
>>52193953
oh, also
>Jewnanistan
kek
>>52193953
>Yunanistan
Holy shit Turks make it sound like an central asian shithole
>>52193320
Uggg. The state of her sanity is evident from her eyes.
>>52194072
actually it came from dietsen who used to live here
>>52194945
"Dutch" did not come from "Deutsch", it is cognate to "Deutsch".
>>52192395
we call the ancient greek eghreeq and modern greeks yunan
>>52193953
>Gajrxojn
fucking epik
>>52193764
يونانيون
>>52194638
Some of Ottoman clays called like that
Hungary Macaristan
Croatia Hırvatistan
Serbia Sırbistan
Bulgaria Bulgaristan
As far as I know it comes from Persian, means something like "land of X"
