Nationality / Countries Terms

Here is some countries that you can learn. You might not use them a lot, but they can come in handy in the future or planning on traveling to other foreign countries. I hope these aren't hard for you to say. Enjoy learning the language!

(look at the bottom on how you can state where your from in a conversation..)

Foreign Country Terms


Note: If you noticed, most of the countries listed here sound just the way it is said in English.

In example, Canada is pronounced jiānǎdà in Mandarin. You notice how it sounds just like it is in the English language.

Chinese / Pinyin / English
美 国 / měiguó / America
澳 大 利 亚 / àodàlìyà / Australia
加 拿 大 / jiānǎdà / Canada
中 国 / zhōngguó / China
英 国 / yīngguó / England
法 国 / fǎguó / France
德 国 / dēguó / Germany
印 度 / yìndù / India
爱 尔 兰 / àiérlán / Ireland
意 大 利 / yìdàlì / Italy
日 本 / rìběn / Japan
韩 国 / hānguó / Korea
新 西 兰 / xīnxīlán / New Zealand
巴 基 斯 坦 / bajīsītǎn / Pakistan
土 耳 其 / tǔěrqí / Turkey
越 南 / yuènán / Vietnam


How to do state where your from in a conversation?

Quote:
Where are you from?- 你从哪儿来? (ni congnar lai?)
I'm from... - 我从。。。。。来。 (wo cong......lai)
  • Australia- 澳大利亚 (aodaliya)
  • Canada- 加拿大 (jianada)
