It sounds like the German "Österreich liegt in Europa", literally translated: "Austria lies in Europe". But as it refers to the geographical location, it can be translated as "is in" or "is located in".
You can use the expression 'lies in' in English as well though really, it is just out of fashion at the moment.
We just borrowed the word from German and Swedified it a little. It's Österreich in German, and by the way the English name of Austria is etymologically referring to the east as well. :)
I see that some countries end up to en such as Italien, Spanien and some others end up to Ke such as Österrike or Frankrike. is there a rule here?
If you are kidding please add an emoj like ;) so we know, otherwise I have to point out that there are only a few kangaroos in Austria, they prefer Australia. ;)
