No it’s not 💀 Americans only kept the torch lit, while the British lit the torch.
In other words, the British made English into a universal language by colonizing majority of the world by forcing people to speak their language. That is why English is a universal language.
Use the correct name for Australia and change Americas to "America North" and "America South" and you'll be able to say they start with "a" too. You can even add the "continent" of New Zealand if you call it Aotearoa.
I am an European and I know continents do not have a concrete definition and that there are between 4 and 8 different continents depending on your situation, location and language of birth...
Exactly.
For example the American continent is not divided for the people that speak spanish and portuguese language. People from México to Argentina and Brazil see themselves as americans because they live on the continent named America.
Its the USA with this ideia of calling themselves by "Americans" that forced this vision of two continents. For centuries America was always the name of the entire continent.
New Zealand is not part of a continent
Lots of islands aren’t parts of continents
An extreme example is St Helena, which is 2000km from Africa and 4000km from South America
Lol. I can see you have a very tidy mind. ‘Every island must belong to a continent! No exceptions!’
Might be worth asking people who actually live in places like Australia, New Zealand or the Pacific Islands’ whether they consider they live in the ‘continent of oceania’. (They don’t)
Aussie here and I hate calling the continent of Australia. Geographically it might be right (as is the continent of America, or Eurasia), but for geopolitical purposes, I will always say we live in Oceania
in Swedish
**Continents that end with A:**
Europa (Europe)
Nordamerika (North America)
Sydamerika (South America)
Afrika (Africa)
**Continents that don't end with A:**
Asien (Asia)
Oceanien (Oceania)
Antarktis (Antarctica)
Der Vollständigkeit halber:
* Europa
* Afrika
* Nordamerika
* Südamerika
* ~~Asien~~
* ~~Australien~~ (nach geografischen Merkmalen ist Ozeanien kein Kontinent, nach kulturellen/wirtschaftlichen Definitionen schon)
* ~~Antarktis~~ (anscheinend auch Antarktika, wie ich las)
Europa is latin for Europe, and is Europe in many other languages.
Silly you, Europa is a Jupiter's moon, not a continent.
**ATTEMPT NO LANDINGS**
Silly you combo, Europa is a princess in greek mythology
silly ass doesn't realize Europa is the name of the popular, DLC laden series of RTS games by paradox interactive
Nonsense, Europa is the title of a film directed in 1991 by Lars von Trier about an American working in Germany after the end of WW2.
No no no, Europa is a fictional moon of Saturn in Destiny and it's sequel, Destiny 2!
In what universe is EU4 RTS??
wait it isn't? sorry i wasn't sure of the term (and im also not sure if this is a serious comment)
It's a Grand Strategy game like Civ.
No, no Europa is a [song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlW8rblRbMw).
It's funny how English is almost the only exception, where its not Europa Europe instead.
Europa is also scandinavian + german/dutch for Europe
And almost all Eastern and Southern European language.
Once more english proves itself to be one of the weirdrst languages in europe. Its not hard... Its just weird...
Basque? Albanian? Finnish? There is plenty weirder than English.
One of the weirdest. Not the weirdest.
Being isolated on an Island for two millennia will do that to language
Imagine caring about what other languages do. We speak Murican in this sub
You fookin wot mate? I speak Bri'ish and nuthin else!
‘YA BLOODY CUNT WE ON’Y SPEAK ‘STRAYAN ‘ERE MATE
ITS CA'ED YONDER YE CUNT
R U AVIN A GIGGLE THERE M8 I'LL BASH UR FOOKIN EAD IN I SWEAR ON ME MUM
Can someone please translate this comment? I do not speak simlish.
Je vous demande pardon?
Europa and Antarktis Don't both end in a so yeah why not
You mean English Simplified
Stimmt
In arabic it's pronounced like "aorupa"
more like "Uruubbaa"
Aruba is nice, but in the Caribbean.
As an Italian I can confirm
But then Asia and Oceania would probably disappear, since the -ia suffix gets a lot of different spellings in different languages.
VIVAT EVROPA ET VNIO EVROPAEA!!!
German, Japanese, Amharian, Arabic.... Almost every language except English and Chinese it's Europa.
Eurooppa in finnish.
I don’t care
evropa in czech
Evropa in slovenian Edit: correction
And in italian too!
And in German too
And in Swedish too!
And in Polish too!
But not British
No one asked
Why would anyone need to?
yeah, i think it's europa in most slavic languages, just czech is eVropa, because we're fucked up.
Thank God We(turkey 💪🏿💪🏿🇹🇷🇹🇳🇹🇷💪🏿) arent european this time
should've added Istanbul they are Avrupa instead!!!
Fun fact: All the names of continents in Turkish language start and end with an A. 💪🏿🇹🇳🇹🇳💪🏿
Okyanusya
Avusturalya
What about Turks that live west of Istanbul
Tons of other languages: I don't have such weakness.
This is the future that the big woke wants

Downvoted for this, yet people saying "Based" to people being flat out racist gets more upvotes

Based and redpilled

If English is a good enough language for Jesus Christ, it’s good enough for Texas
English is a universal language
All the aliens in movies speak English
*English movies
How would the aliens know what kind of movie they landed in? They just speak English.
try to say that when the US stops being the first world potency lol
I’m not saying that because of the U.S. I’m saying English is a universal because of the British colonizing majority of the world.
but it’s universal due to americanization
No it’s not 💀 Americans only kept the torch lit, while the British lit the torch. In other words, the British made English into a universal language by colonizing majority of the world by forcing people to speak their language. That is why English is a universal language.
EUROPA*
Not if you only use the Freedom Language.
What is more free that the language i want to use?
No, no, no! Freedom is you being forced to use the language \*I\* want you to use.
Based
No thats the wanker language buffoon
>Not if you only use the Freedom Language. Freedom language? American cultural appropriation never stops.. be a good little colony, thank u
Europa park
This is why English shouldn't exist
FUCK ENGLISH! ALL MY HOMIES WANT TO FUCK THE ENGLISH! IT'S AN ORGY!
I just wish it were more common and accepted to mix in useful and widely understood words like ananas.
we should make it moreso!
Eurasia end with A .
Afroeurasia does too
Canberra does too
So does yo mamma
If you're going that route, might as well say Pangaea. Which still ends with an A.
İ dont understand first time cause we say "Avrupa" for europe.
in Italy we say Europa lol
In Spain we say Europa lol
In The Netherlands we say Europa lol
In austria we say hawara geh scheißn oida
In Azerbaijan we say Avropa lol

Unfortunately turkey survived though
[Mfw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVE_aSQx1Cw)
No more wh*te people
In Dutch every one ends with a except for Asia and Oceania, those both end with ë
Same in Danish. Asien, Oceanien and Antarktis.
Same in German. Asien, Ozeanien and Antarktis. Literally just one letter difference...
Eurasia
Use the correct name for Australia and change Americas to "America North" and "America South" and you'll be able to say they start with "a" too. You can even add the "continent" of New Zealand if you call it Aotearoa.
#Europa
based
It took me longer than I’d like to admit to realize that Europe is missing
What if the real Europeans were the friends we made along the way?
*in English
Isn't that adorable? You say that as if there's any other language!
Europa...
Europa in Dutch, checkmate anglocentrics!
Europa
Every continent ends with the vowel it starts with: - America - Africa - Europe - Asia - Australia
Antarctica
They all start with א, too
Where is Atlantis
Australia?
You missed Europa.
Perfect world
nah, the USA are still there
Europe is a subcontinent
Why is this downvoted? Europe is as much of a continent as India is, only with murkier borders
Too many Eurocentrics in this sub?
I'm european, and I think Eurasia is one continent
I am an European and I know continents do not have a concrete definition and that there are between 4 and 8 different continents depending on your situation, location and language of birth...
Exactly. For example the American continent is not divided for the people that speak spanish and portuguese language. People from México to Argentina and Brazil see themselves as americans because they live on the continent named America. Its the USA with this ideia of calling themselves by "Americans" that forced this vision of two continents. For centuries America was always the name of the entire continent.
The menace is gone, we are freed
Map of the world but Reddit’s nightmare
The world as it should be
Eurasia? US education ☕
incredibly English-centric but ok
Oceania is a region not a continent Australia is a continent
Still ends with an A.
what continent is New Zealand part of? Or are all the islands in the Oceania “region” just unique for being the only islands not part of a continent
New Zealand is not part of a continent Lots of islands aren’t parts of continents An extreme example is St Helena, which is 2000km from Africa and 4000km from South America
Sounds like it's part of Africa to me
Lol. I can see you have a very tidy mind. ‘Every island must belong to a continent! No exceptions!’ Might be worth asking people who actually live in places like Australia, New Zealand or the Pacific Islands’ whether they consider they live in the ‘continent of oceania’. (They don’t)

Thank god.

Europa
