In this episode of General Knowledge I explain the difference between Germany's many names. First, we understand the Endonym of Deutschland - what Germans call themselves in German. Then, we learn why Germany has so many Exonyms (what other countries call it) - such as Tyskland, Germany, Allemagne, Saksa, Nemcy or Vokietija. Getting to know the origin and meaning (or etymology) of those names.
