🌈Hello, I'm Cecilia from Morning Chinese！🪐

Want to know how to introduce your nationality in Chinese? Watch this video, you'll learn the Chinese name of your country, and many other countries!

In general, there are two ways of forming the name of foreign countries in Chinese.

The first is by purely phonetic translation. For these countries, all you have to do is imagine how you would say their names in a strong Chinese accent, and you've got it.
Cases in point:
Italy, 意大利, 意大利
Canada, 加拿大，加拿大
Argentina, 阿根廷，阿根廷
Malaysia, 马来西亚，马来西亚
Australia, 澳大利亚，澳大利亚
Norway 挪威，挪威
Kenya 肯尼亚

The second category is to add the word 国 “country” to a character whose pronunciation is similar to the name of the country concerned.
For example:
China 中国, 中国
The United States 美国， 美国
Britain 英国，英国
Korea, 韩国，韩国
Germany, 德国，德国
France 法国, 法国
Thailand 泰国, 泰国

However, these rules don't apply to all. Some country names are translated based on their meanings. Some came from historical or other reasons. These countries include:

Iceland, 冰岛, 冰岛
New Zealand, 新西兰，新西兰
Russia, 俄罗斯，俄罗斯
Japan, 日本，日本
Vietnam, 越南，越南
South Africa, 南非，南非
South Korea, 朝鲜，朝鲜。

Now, tell me in the comments, which country are you from?
