minus-squareThoralf Willlinkfedilink15•3 months agoI would not use „Amerika“ if I would refer to the US. I usually mean the geographical combination of North and South America if I would use the term. If I want to reference the US, I would use „die USA“, „die Vereinigten Staaten“ or in short just „die Staaten“.
