克里米亞
Hi, I saw that you made a change to the etymology of the word. I was just wondering, why in your opinion is the word a borrowing from instead of ? RcAlex36 (talk) 17:43, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
 * The letter "i" in English word "Crimea" pronounced "ai" rather than "i", while "里" pronounced "li". It doesn't make sense that the Chinese translation use "里" rather than "莱" or "来" (lai) if it was from English. The page of Crimea shows that the English word Crimea is from the Italian word Crimea, then it makes sense if it is directly from Italian because the letter "i" in Italian pronounced "i".--萌百娘 (talk) 05:24, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
 * It's more likely that 克里米亞 is borrowed from a pronunciation of English Crimea according to its spelling. A native speaker of English without knowledge of the standard pronunciation of Crimea will probably pronounce the word as /kɹɪˈmiːə/ as inferred from the spelling. Chinese doesn't usually borrow from Italian, especially for words that related to Italy. RcAlex36 (talk) 18:08, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
