"Tamer is from Holland."

Translation: تامِر مِن هولَنْدا.

[Christoph55835]

Holland is a region within the country. The state itself however is called "The Netherlands" in English.

[StevenWest12]

Does "هولَنْدا" refer to the region or the country?

[Christoph55835]

In Arabic it refers to the country. However, in English the correct translation should be The Netherlands.

Hi, in French language we can use both "Hollande" (pronounced Holland) and "Pays-bas" to refer to the country. Interesting isn't it ?

[Christoph55835]

Le mot "Hollande" est souvent employé pour désigner les Pays-Bas en langue parlée (même chose en anglais et en allemand). Tu peux l'utiliser, mais cela reste incorrect - même en français.

Même chose avec "Royaume-Uni" et "Angleterre": "Angleterre" est souvent (mais faussement) employé pour désigner le "Royaume-Uni".

Native English speaker here. We call the country "Holland". We also use "The Netherlands", but I'm seeing that used more now than I did when I was growing up. Until I was an adult, I only heard "Holland". English is not the only language that calls "Nederland" "Holland", or a variation there of.
