What’s “Homeland” called for in your language?

Question

Translation of Homeland in Georgian literally would be “Land of My Parents” - I just realized that Homeland in Georgian means Land of Parents.

It feels weird that I’ve never paid attention to it before.

ДОМОВИНА DOMOVINA

I had such a weird ethnicity and nationality. Men and women tell me what you think of my complex background.

I was born in Great Britain / UK 🇬🇧

Like many Brits from the motherland, my family moved to Australia; where I was raised and still currently live 🇦🇺🇬🇧. Did you know in Australia we are a Constitutional Monarchy and loved and still love our dearly departed Queen Elizabeth II EIIR. Who is still on our coins and $5 note. We both drive on the left and use British English; as we spell Colour as COLOUR, and it's not a ZEEEEEBRA but we both say ZEBBRAHH.

My parents immigrated to the UK from Yugoslavia in the late seventies, early eighties. And hence why I was born in Essex in April 1986.

In terms of ethnicity, in Australia we have one of the largest ex-Yugoslav diaspora populations in the world.

My mother ✝️ [R. I. P] was Half Serbian, half Croatian and born in Croatia.

My father is half Croatian and half Montnegrin. He was born in Montenegro before leaving for the UK where he met my mother.

So again:

In 🇷🇸Serbian🇷🇸 'Homeland' is:

Домовина Domovina

In 🇭🇷Croatian🇭🇷 'Homeland' is:

Domovina

In 🇲🇪Montnegrin🇲🇪 'Homeland' is:

Domovina / Домовина

In 🇦🇺🇬🇧Australia🇬🇧🇦🇺 'Homeland' is refered to our most culturally similar and cinendted county the UK. 'Homeland' in Australia is:

Motherland

Maybe due to the geographic isolation, we don't have the same implications. Homeland is valid but we'd just say Australia never mother or fatherland and only heard politicians say homeland. The bush conveys more sense of belonging but you can't pretend that applies to cities (excepting the outer suburbs of course).

Do people who live in a motherland feel their country is feminine and vice versa?

I'm of Czech and Finnish descent.

In Czech (my mom's side), you can say "Vlast" which also means "motherland" and "country," and "Domovina" which is also just "home."

In Finnish (my dad's side), there's "Kotomaa" which also means "home" and "motherland," and "Reservaatti" which is also "reservation."
