      Finnish doesn’t count, having completely unrelated names for everything is like a sport to you people

        It’s not even unrelated, it’s a literal translation of “United States” to Finnish

        Similarly in Estonian sometimes we’d just call it Ühendriigid instead of Ameerika Ühendriigid
