The Netherlands -Holland
Do you think of a single country when you hear these two? At least it is Google Translate. But the truth is different!

Netherlands ve Holland, çoğul bir isme sahip olmasına rağmen tek bir ülkedir. Netherlands ülkenin resmi ismi olarak kullanılıyor. Daha doğrusu Hollanda hükümeti 2019 yılında yaptığı açıklama ile, uluslararasında ‘Holland’ olarak ülkeyi tanıtmayı bırakacağını ve bunun yerine “NETHERLANDS” kelimesini kullanacağını belirtti. Ve bu isim değişikliğinin toplam maaliyeti 200,000 Euro.

(Netherlands) consists of twelve states. Drenthe, Gelderland, Groningen, Flevoland, Friesland, Limburg, North Brabant, North Holland, Overijssel, Utrecht, Zealand and South Holland.

According to them, Hollander is a word they use when they talk about people living in the western part. The decision taken in 2019 sprinkled some water into people living outside the Holland region. Now let them think 🙂 (those living in Holland)
