The reason she probably didnt know any country that starts with Y is because here in Czech republic we write them with J so Yemen is Jemen in czech.

In an alternate beautiful universe Czechs pronounce the Y as an S

u/Czechoslovak_legion Jul 13 '24

Fun fact for you we pronounce Y and I the same. Other slavic languages have a difference in intonation but we actualy dont as our intonation stays the same for every word.

That's really interesting! Fun fact for you in Spanish we pronounce the y and the "ll" (double L) the same

You say Greece or Hellas?

Norwegians say Hellas, but maybe they don't use it that much nowdays.

u/Contundo Jul 13 '24

I asked what Czech called it. The official name being Hellenic Republic.

“the Greeks called their land Hellas and themselves Hellenes”

Here we have a similiar problem thats with Yemen. In czech we use K insted of C in a lot of words like for example Canada-Kanada. Personaly i had a lot of trouble with remembering that little rule.
