I found this interesting: There are only four countries on Earth with a one-syllable name.

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
21

I came up with four - Chad, France, Laos, and Spain - and stopped. I’m pretty sure I would have gotten Greece if I had kept going for a fifth one.

22

Crap. Had one, but I guess it is 2. :confused: I blame it on the French for ruining everything. :o

23

I got Chad :frowning:

24

Chad
Spain
France
Guam
Wales

Although assume the last 2 don’t count. Didn’t make my way around the other side of Europe!

25

Spain
France
Greece

That’s all I got.

[Upon review: fuckin’ Chad]

26

Incidentally - how on earth is “Laos” one syllable? It’s pronounce Lah-Ohss; two clearly defined sounds.

27

I have 5 possibles. I think France, Spain, Guam and Chad are probably the 4, and that you aren’t counting Wales, but I could be wrong on Guam and Chad being countries.

ETA: Of course, Greece. Guam is a territory of the USA. And you aren’t counting Wales.

28

Spain
Chad
France
Greece

29

Crap isn’t a country.

30

Of course Wales is a country, don’t be so silly…

31

Without readiing the rest of the thread;

[ul]Spain
Greece
Chad
France[/ul]

No map needed.

32

I got Chad, France, Spain, Guam, Greece, and Laos.

At a very young age, I memorized the Animaniacs song “Countries of the World”. It’s been a great source of trivia busting ever since

33
  1. Wales
  2. Laos
  3. France
  4. Spain

ETA: Wait, Wales & Laos aren’t countries? :confused:

34

In the order I thought of them:

Chad
Greece
Spain
France

For some reason Chad and then Greece came to me very quickly, but it took a minute to think of Spain and France.

35

In the order I thought of them:

[ol]
[li]Chad*[/li][li]France[/li][li]Spain[/li][li]Laos**[/li][/ol]

*How the fuck was this the first one I thought of?
**I say it with one syllable. Time to check the answers.

I see I missed Greece. I don’t think Guam counts. I always feel weird calling Wales a country, but I guess it is.

As for the pronunciation of Laos, wikipedia and others list /ˈlaʊs/ as acceptable in English.

36

Chad was the first one I thought of. the second was Eire -the Irish name for Ireland. I guess that didn’t count.

37

I got 'em, but only because I saw this quiz on Sporcle the other day.

38

France, Chad, Greece, Spain. All within a minute. How many Internets do I win?

39

hmm Greece, Spain, France, Chad, uh Guam came to mind but it isn’t a country. Really, only 4?

40

I’m game. I would say:

Chad
France
Spain
Wales
Laos
Greece

Wait, that is more than 4 right there. :confused:
