You probably know that Germans say “Laibach” for Ljubljana and “Marburg” for Maribor. Or that Italians say “Pirano” for Piran. But Slovenes also have their own names for places in the borderlands of Italy, Hungary and Austria.
Some of them are nearly identical — like “Gradec” for the Austrian city of Graz. Some — like “Monoster” for the Hungarian town of Szentgotthard — couldn’t be less similar.
This great site has a comprehensive list of Slovenian names for foreign cities. The next time someone asks you how to say “Sankt Margarethen im Rosental” in Slovene, just go there.
