[语言交流]关於芬兰国家名称的问题

楼主#
更多 发布于:2012-08-10 08:48


虽然我知道问这个问题有点白痴,但是一直以来我对芬兰这个国家名字的疑问一直解不开。
芬兰语中称芬兰为Suomi,但是在其他语言里几乎都是称作Finland。以land(国)做结尾的国家名大部分出现在日耳曼民族,像是德国的Deutschland,冰岛的Ísland;如果将Finland这个字拆开的话,就会变成Fin land,在瑞典语的意思是"美好的国家"难道真的是这样来的?还是在瑞典殖民时期外界对芬兰的称呼就已经固定了所以才沿用至今?
但不是在译名上都是以当地语言为主的吗?为什麽除了爱沙尼亚称芬兰"Soome"没有一个国家称芬兰为Suomi,中文译名也不是"苏米"呢?

芬兰语亲缘上和爱沙尼亚语更近,叫法接近suomi也不足为奇了,这个是芬兰人自己说的;
但芬兰人很多或多或少都会去学点瑞典语,想必受北欧影响是很大的。

芬兰语本身我觉得是很妖怪的,和北欧诸国的联系不如和爱沙尼亚近。

wiki上的解释。
Finland
Among the first documents to mention Finland are three rune-stones. There are two in the Swedish province Uppland, with the inscriptions finlonti (U 582) and one in Gotland, in the Baltic Sea, with the inscription finlandi (G 319), the latter dating from the 13th century.
Suomi
The name Suomi (Finnish for "Finland") has uncertain origins, but a candidate for a cognate is the Proto-Baltic word *zeme, meaning "land". In addition to the close relatives of Finnish (the Finnic languages), this name is also used in the Baltic languages Latvian and Lithuanian. Alternatively, the Indo-European word *gʰm-on "man" (cf. Gothic guma, Latin homo) has been suggested, being borrowed as *ćoma. The word originally referred only to the province of Finland Proper, and later to the northern coast of Gulf of Finland, with northern lands such as Ostrobothnia still being excluded as late as the 18th century. Earlier theories suggested derivation from suomaa (fen land) or suoniemi (fen cape), and parallels between saame (Sami, a non-Finnish people in Finland) and Häme (a Finnish people and a province) were drawn, but these theories are now considered outdated.
