"The United States of America"

Translation: Amerikas forente stater

[ewelina26957]

What about "De forente stater av Amerika" ?

[fveldig]

Grammatically it would've been "De forente statene til Amerika", but that is not used anywhere.

Either 'Amerikas forente stater'(the official name), 'De forente stater'(the dated/old-fashioned name), or 'USA'(the colloquial name).

Would 'USA' be pronounced with Norwegian letter pronunciations, or English?

Thanks a lot!

Why aren't Sambandsstatene allowed? That's a Norwegian name for the USA. "Samband" means "union" and "stat" means "state". It's in plural definite, and therfor the -ene ending. It really just means The united states. I know that for sure because I'm from Norway. Please add Sambandsstatene as a correct answear.

[TrulsBekk]

It would in that case be "De amerikanske sambandsstatene", since it is specified that the states are American.

[Walt1965]

Why not 'statene'? It is THE United States of America.

[anamorphism]

same reason we don't say "America's united the states"
