Article moved

Again, I don't see that "motherland" is necessarily a nationalist concept. I've moved the article to this page until we've figured out a way to make this an encyclopedia article.

Correct translation

Uhhh. As I said before, Rodina does not mean motherland. It means birth-land or birth-place. --KamikazeArchon

moved from the article:

A satirical story by feminist science fiction author Joanna Russ in the late 1970s (title, anyone?) depicts two women escaping from a repressive "Fatherland" to an idyllic "Motherland".

I think thqat was called "Ejackulation". LOL. Get it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.218.212.216 (talk) 05:58, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

I personally can't read Cyrillic and I'm sure that goes for a lot of people reading the English Wikipedia. Is there anyway we can get some to transliterate the entries for Bulgarian, Russian, Greek and "Hindi,Marathi and Sanskrit"?--Lairor 01:36, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

I put an Indonesian phrase, "Tanah Air". I thought it's the common translation for "Motherland". Even there is a phrase, "Ibu Pertiwi" which have the same meaning and more spesific ("ibu" mean "mother" in indonesian but...less used). What do you people think?

I want to add something to the translation of French of Motherland. Ethymologically, patrie (In spanish patria), may seem contradictory, ethymologically. In usage however, its not so. I move that it be changed how it says in the french translation how its somewhat "contradictory". In usage, there's no contradiction. Only in the ethymology of the word, which refers to one's father. Though in the spanish patria, and Im sure in the french word, theres no indication of "land", so it doesnt mean "fatherland". When I say "Mi patria", Im not saying "My fatherland", Im just saying "My nation, or my country". Im sure it has the same roots as the english word patriotism. Mailrobot 23:22, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Joining Mother-, Father- and Homeland

Is there any reason for not combining the three articles? Brallan 14:28, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

i dont agree with the norwegian traselation of Motherland. its more like the danish...

Moderlandet would be the right transelation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Luriksen (talk • contribs) 00:48, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
