It should be noted that there is a gender change in Spanish and Italian: Madre patria, or motherland is also used.the Armenians, as Hayrenik (as in the national anthem Mer Hayrenik, literally meaning Our Fatherland)the Brazilians as Pátria.the Bulgarians as Tatkovina and Otechestvothe Czechs as otčinathe Danes as fædrelandthe Estonians as isamaathe French as patriethe Finns as isänmaathe Frisians as heitelânthe Georgians as Mamuli (მამული) the Germans, as das Vaterland (as in the national anthem Das Lied der Deutschen)the Greeks as patris, the root word for patriotism.the Icelanders as Föðurland the Indians as , although very, very rarely used, the word for motherland, Matrubhumi, being the exclusively used one.the Kazakhs as atamekenthe Lithuanians as tėvynėthe ethnic Macedonians as Tatkovinathe Dutch, as vaderlandthe Norwegians as fedrelandthe Poles, as Ojczyzna (but there is also macierz, that is Motherland, although it is seldom used)the Portuguese as Pátria.the Russians, as Otechestvo (отечество) or Otchizna (отчизна), although Rodina, that is ancestral land, is more common.the Slovenians as Očetnjava, usage is regarded archaic, Domovina (home country) is used instead.the Serbs as otadžbina (отаџбина)the Spanish as patriathe Swedes as fäderneslandet, although fosterlandet is more common.the Thais as pituphum (ปิตุภูมิ), the word is adapted from Sanskritthe Tibetans as pha yulthe Ukrainians as bat'kivschina (батьківщина)the Hungarians as hon or haza
