Thread Name: Folklore: German word for cultural affinity?
Subject: RE: Folklore: German word for cultural affinity?
Hi Jim, thanks for the correction, so we could construct Scotophilia for the love of all things Scottish (or Scotch). The first o in the word is most important (Greek joke, by the way).
Hi Fred, Helen(a) with only one L! Otherwise you're right.
Addition: If the love to a foreign culture becomes a frenzy, the part -philie is replaced by -manie = mania.
