Bretanya
Catalan
Proper noun
Bretanya f
- Brittany (an administrative region, historical province, and peninsula in northwest France)
- (historical) Brittania (Great Britain and Brittany)
Usage notes
- The relationship between Great Britain and Brittany (“Little Britain”) is clearer in Catalan than in English, at the cost of lacking a one word synonym for Great Britain. To refer to Roman Britain in Catalan, a later reborrowing from the same Latin origin, Britània, is used.
Derived terms
- Gran Bretanya (“Great Britain”)
