Is your country a fatherland like Germany or a motherland like Russia?

Is your country a fatherland like Germany or a motherland like Russia?

Both actually.

Motherland

The word "Patriot" literally means "one of the Fatherland".

Fatherland. I live in a street called "Fatherland Volunteers" because of some companies that willingly enlisted in the army during the war against Paraguay.

Madre patria: morher fatherland

It's generally represented as feminine, the madre patria (literally mother fatherland but that's just a quirk of Spanish)

so progressive

Holy balls, it actually makes sense.

Motherland stronger and cooler.

>motherland = country you're born from
>fatherland = country that your country was born from

Germany had Austria, Czechs, etc.

But that's wrong. Our word is otechestvo or otchizna which literally means fatherland.
Rodina means something like "place where you were born" not motherland too.

fatherland

It's "Madre Patria". To clarify Madre means mother, and Patria is the place you come from. But Patria comes from a latin word that essentially means Father, or Fatherland. So we're a MotherFatherland

>Not Patria Grande

kill yourselves please

You have to go back

...

90% fatherland 10% motherland

Madre patria is Spain for us. Chile is just patria.

Motherland

we don't have motherland
oтeчecтвo = fatherland
poдинa - is just feminine word, but nothing about mother in it

is she transitioning?

Imbecile te imaginas el nivel de corrupción que habría.

Motherland

Both. On one hand we have Columbia, but on the other we have Uncle Sam.

Motherland

That's certainly different for us, a Mexican wouldn't normally use madre patria to refer to Spain. I think it has to do with our seeing the history of our country as being contnuous with Mesoamericans (the oversimplification goes the Spanish invaded and later we defeated them and regained our independence) so while we acknowledge Spain/Europe as one of the two halfs our country was made from (las dos raices) usually motherland refers to Mexico, not necessarily Mesoamerican or native American either.

Motherland. We say "La France" and "Patrie" is a feminine word. "Allons enfant de la patrie" in our national anthem roughly meaning "Come on, children of Motherland".

As far as I know, France has always been allegorised as a woman.

mummy island

Though of course, Marianne was only used after the Révolution, before France was usually represented like in pic related.

It's motherland,but it's rarely used.
The word "haza" or "hon" (essentially "homeland") is used more often

wtf I hate America now

Finland is often depicted as a maiden, and we call it Father's Land.

Kinky

That makes no sense. If anything, Germany's father would be magna germania, which is like east germany

Papua New Guineans sometimes call Australia the Fatherland

> maiden
> raped by Russia and Sweden

Patria

You're wrong, patrie is fatherland.

Nope.

So what? Still means fatherland. It's the same in Italian.

מולדת =! ארץ האם
It's just Birthland for us

It's a feminine noun derieved from Pater.

my country is animeland

In conversation, it's Fatherland.

But it's said that the Finland looks like a maiden.

So is Finland a trap?!?

SSoon

fucking boringand tiresome

Wrong.
"Dos filhos deste solo és mãe gentil, pátria amada Brasil"
Don't you remember?
