No. That would be a little awkward since we shared a country (and a lot of history in general) with one of these. hckošice and intoronto 2 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answer is. Rules of slovak grammar my friend. It is one of the most difficult and complicated grammars in the world. A real nightmare of every Slovak kid However in short, Canada ends with an "A". The suffixes "sko" or "cko" is given only if the name of the country ends with a consonant. for example Francúz - sko, Talian - sko, Bulhar - sko etc... the names of countries ending with a vowel remain unchanged. India, Ukrajina, Čína, Kórea, Kanada etc... USA for example Spojené Štáty. Kapverdy, Tahiti, Bermudy etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topicmaster1010 4,085 Posted December 25, 2021 #47 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Don't know if this has been posted yet but Norway named it's first 7 athletes for the olympic team a few days ago. Men: Johannes Thingnes Bø Tarjei Bø Vetle Sjåstad Christiansen Sturla Holm Lægreid Women: Tiril Eckhoff Ida Lien Marte Olsbu Røiseland Interestingly, Tandrevold still hasn't been named to the team. Also apparently on the men's side, Dale and Bjøntegaard won't compete at the olympics. RobtheAggie and Ted 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
