Why do we say “from Ukraine” but not “from Germany”?
For all countries except Ukraine, no article is used. Why is that? Thank you very much and best regards 🖖

Spelling strategies?
ByNoah386
Hello everyone, I'm writing an exam tomorrow in which we have to use these spelling strategies, but I don't fully understand them and need help. Could someone explain the following strategies to me, preferably with an example? I really want to make sure I understand them correctly. Here are the strategies: 1. I pay attention…
Meaningful sentence: yes or no?
· still: We still have to wait an hour Better, I think, would be: "We wait another hour." But the other sentence would also be grammatically correct, right? Or should we say "grammatically correct"? What's the difference?
Most country names are Neutra im Singular. They usually don’t get an article, but there are a few exceptions, e.g. Kosovo.
A minority of country names are Feminina (Turkey, Ukraïne, Switzerland) or Maskulina (Kongo, Iran) or plural words (United States, Philippines). These are always used with articles.
I have also asked myself, and in other cases, such as “the USA” or “the Netherlands”, it may be because it is not originally a central state, but a link between several states, cultures, or provinces. See also the EU! Today’s Ukraine also has a moving history, its territory rarely belonged to one and the same prerogative. That is why a part is rather Polish, one is culturally Hungarian or Romanian shaped like the Karpato Ukraine, another, the Donbass is mostly ethnic Russian, and the Crimea belonged to the Ottoman Empire, that is to Turkey.
Countries with articles | Deutsche Grammatik – Deutsch Training Online
Don’t find a logical explanation, just find out that it is.
Hello!
They say “Germany” in relation to the country as a whole. This is a linguistic convention in German grammar.
Countries that end up with “-land” and are thus actually addressed with “that” usually do not get “that”.
For example, “I’m flying to Germany.”
Or, “I’m from Germany.”
In the German language, the specific article “the” is used with the term “Ukraine”. Also with many other countries, such as “Turkey”, “the USA”, etc.
For example, “I’m flying to Turkey.”
You see that there are also other countries that have an article. For countries ending with “-land”, no article should be preferred.
After “off” comes the Dativfall.
Greetings!
P.S.: There are also countries with “the” (in plural) and “the”!
Well, even in special cases. “The Germany of the 80s ” would be such a construction, but it would also be possible to form it with any other country.
Yeah.
“No article is used in all countries except Ukraine. ‘
Bullshit. There are many countries where an article is used. In Germany it is also done in some contexts. Zb “The whole Germany should be.”
From the Netherlands, from the Vatican, from the USA.
Yeah, but what’s that about?
On the grammatical sex of the country. If the country is sorrowful, it’s not an article.
The Netherlands, the Vatican, the USA. But Germany.
Historical reasons.
Switzerland.
Ticino.
The Hunsrück.
The Eifel.
The Styria
The Taunus…
Switzerland. The Netherlands. Ivory Coast. The USA. The UAE. The Philippines.
Bullshit.
They say:
There are countries that have a female or male article.
Then you say from or from that.
Germany has a relative pronoun, for example, Germany.
You don’t say Germany. Just from Germany, Austria, etc
Right is in this case ” the USA. Because the article in “the USA” is the plural article, because USA is the abbreviation for United States of America, so United States of America.
I had thought briefly, but no. From the U.S. one would say that they are United States. But if you see it as a country then the USA.
Yeah, so? What does one have to do with the other? it is also called the Federal Republic of Germany, however, one does not say the Germany
Yeah, so? Nobody contested that.
But USA is now the abbreviation for an expression in plural. And then in German one takes the plural articles (and of course, just as in English, the plural forms of verbs related to USA).
The Duden also thinks: https://www.duden.de/deklination/substantive/USA
It is called the United States but not The USA but only USA
No. “From the USA” is simply and grippingly wrong. The country is called “The United States of America”, and there never becomes a singular one.
I think this has just become so naturalised instead of a true reason (:
