That moment when you're learning #Japanese, and you wonder "How to say 'United States' in Japanese?", and someone answers "アメリカ". Son of a b*tch, I didn't wonder how to say #America, I wondered how to say #UnitedStates
Same shit happens in #Korean language.
At least in #Chinese language you can say 合众国 instead of that stupid shit of 美国
@icg937 eh? Koreans have their own word for the United States: 미국
아메리카 is the continent.
합중국 is the word for federation? (As in Fediverse afaik)
