Colombia is the same as columbia?

Question

i got confused... are they the same and both refer to the country in north america? columbia=colombia

Answer 1

its the same

Answer 2

The country is in SOUTH America.

When they refer to the country as Columbia, yes, it's the same country but it's misspelled. The correct spelling of the name of the country, even in English, is ColOmbia, to differentiate it from the many "colUmbias" there are around here.

Also, in Spanish, when they refer to Columbia University, they leave the 'u' and write it "Universidad de ColUmbia".

Answer 3

The proper name of the country is COLOMBIA......not Columbia, and is the country in South America, which capital city is Bogotá.

Answer 4

same country in south America !!

Answer 5

God! With those answers, no wonder you might get even more confused...

ColOmbia is a country in South America.

ColUmbia is the name of several cities or towns in the United States.

Even though they come from the same word "Columbus" and were both used as a tribute to Columbus, they are both spelled different and people should stop mixing them up.
