Etymology[edit]

From Portuguese Holanda (Holland).[1][2][3][4] Note that some sources[1][3][4] give the erroneous Portuguese source spelling as Olanda (which is actually Italian), likely because the Portuguese h is silent. Compare Chinese 荷蘭荷兰 (Hélán) of the same meaning.

Pronunciation[edit]

Proper noun[edit]

オランダ (Oranda

  1. Holland (a traditional region in the Netherlands formed by two modern provinces, North Holland and South Holland)
  2. Holland, the Netherlands (a country in Western Europe)

      Mate yo! Kore wa hontō ni Oranda no fune ka? Fune ni tsuite ru hata are wa Oranda no kokki ja nai zo‼
      Hold on! Is this really a Dutch ship? The flag on this ship isn’t the Dutch flag, is it!?

Usage notes[edit]

When used attributively in compounds or with the particle (no), this term is commonly translated as the adjective Dutch.

The full kanji spellings as alternative forms are rare and falling out of use, while the abbreviation is more frequently encountered.
