Please just allow one standard spelling. It really grates to spell Tallinn correctly for it to be accepted with one n, and then my next answer gets an n stuck on the front. Surely it isn't too much to ask for people to learn how to spell these places correctly with either the way the country itself spells it, or the UN accepted spelling?
Or just look at the answer box before you type in the next one to make sure that you're not accidentally putting an n in front of it? Just a suggestion :)
Happy to get them all correct with over 60 seconds remaining. Took me almost a minute to get the Croatian answer though. Just one of those answers that would not immediately come to me.
I saw that Azerbaijan's capital Baku is near the Asia-Europe boundary (due to the separation from the Ural Mountains) so it counts as an European country.
i thought of vilnius for lithuania but i didn't bother to type it in because i thought "meh that's probably just a random word" but when i saw that it was actually vilnius i was like "😭😭😭😭"
Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan are far from being European. So is Morocco, clearly an African country. Only Russia, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Azerbaijan and Turkey are partially European, although most of their territory lies in Asia. Moscow is the only capital out of these, which is located in Europe. Cyprus is disputable, sometimes it is considered European, sometimes Asian. And a small portion of Spain is also in Africa.
I would like to point out that there is no de jure capital of Switzerland, though since Bern is the de facto capital and "federal city", it makes sense to use it for these quizzes. I am just trying to raise people's attentions.
i used auto correct for Ljubljana the only one i couldnt spell :P
also Podgorica got me trying every possible version of Po__gori_a bc i remembered the letters but not the order of them (i realzied i could just autocorect but it was too late so i used it for Ljubljana)
Took me 14 tries to get them all. These quizzes are harder than the countries of the world to me, but for why I honestly couldn't explain. Am I crazy or does anyone else feel the same?
I got 44/45, and I'm pretty proud of my result because I only know many cities in German, and not as many in English. I didn't know how to spell Bucharest, that's why I "only" got 44/45. I should've gotten that one
The United Kingdom is a state made up of four countries England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. London is the capital city of England. Cardiff is the capital city of Wales. Edinburgh is the capital city of Scotland. Belfast is the capital city of Northern Ireland.
Please can the author of this quiz just change the country option of the United Kingdom to England to make it correct. Alternatively add all of the countries and their capital cities that make up the United Kingdom. (as above)
All you have to do is go on Wikipedia to see that London is labelled as the capital city. The quizmaster is right. If you don't like it, make your own quiz.
"Other comments" yeah, one other person who said the same thing, lol. Someone doesn't seem to understand the difference between singular and plural :)
Wikipedia's not the only source for this, either. You can look anywhere and see that it's the capital city of London and the UK as a sovereign country. I'm just stating facts :)
I issed only Belgrade, because i tried to write it in finnish language. In Finland its called Belgrad. But i think that i can say that i know every european capital. Not on english language tho
I also think The Hague should be accepted because it's the de-facto capital of the Netherlands.
Can you change the spelling of Kyiv from 'Kiev' to 'Kyiv', since it has been changed and many countries recognize it.
Sources:
Google Maps, Wikipedia, the BBC and Britannica have all switched.
also Podgorica got me trying every possible version of Po__gori_a bc i remembered the letters but not the order of them (i realzied i could just autocorect but it was too late so i used it for Ljubljana)

I was only stating facts, look at other comments saying a similar thing.
Mikeyheath92, I was not asking to be called out by keyboard warriors, but thanks for your advice. Yes I can go and create my own quiz.
