So we can use this little character here, it looks like an opening or like something boxed in and actually means a country which is you can imagine as all boxed in a similar way then so what you have then is gone, it's pronounced us. And what it means is just country like I said, and what you do if you want to say a country, then you put something like an adjective before and then you put at the end, and that becomes some kind of a country. Then we say, for instance, the funniest one, and it usually sounds like the English version as well here would be America. And some of us say, Merica America and in Chinese is actually me go so me constantly America pot, and then gorgeous countries on may go may go is America. Fantastic. You look at a character that you will see that character a lot more.

Anytime we talk about a country like I just said, fantastic, isn't it? Hello guys. And we have another really interesting here you can see the gore that that means country. And now we have together with that one nutriment wonderful. So we have john and that is middle action. So it's quite interesting you if you look just look at the character to start with, then we'll put it together with the other one next.

So we have is that means middle so it's like a mouth or something and we just go straight through it. Does that means middle? If you're in the middle of something, you can use that one. Okay? So what we have then is you put the country or do you put the word middle together with a word country so it's a country that is in the middle. In Canada, you can imagine now on the maps for us, like in my maps, at least Europe is in the middle, but in China, they are in the middle.

So instead, what you have in Chinese maps is China's in the middle because of the middle country, everything surrounds it. And so therefore, you have drone core. How do you say jungle in English? China, I hope you heard them. So China Tonga? Yeah, middle country literally quite interesting.

Now. How do you say Inga in English? In England now? UK nanny yo care. UK See ya see you all English mom. Tip bu Yana.

So what's important here is that we don't know all everything we need to need to know about China but they also don't know everything they need to know about England or the UK. So the whole UK actually is England, but they think it also means England on its own. And we don't differentiate between between that too much. So if you're offended, please don't get offended because that's not the intention anyways, you can, you can go and that means the UK or England, wonderful. So we've got a country which is gone. And then we can put a specific place in front of that Gore, and it makes it into a specific country, like Morocco, or England, or Congo if you're not from one of these three countries.

Stay tuned, and in the next video, we'll have a sexy unknown sir and knowns, all the different countries and hopefully you'll find yours amongst that pack as well.
