Place names

[bonidan]

There are Spanish names for Bordeaux ,Stockholm, etc.

Now I am looking for Brandebourg in particular and other examples if time allows.

Thank you !

Brandebourg would probably be Brandeburgo seeing as most other place names with -bourg, -burg or -burgh endings are translated as -burgo: Estrasburgo, Edimburgo
Some more translations off the top of my head: Londres, Nueva York, Estambul, Moscú, Lieja, Bruselas, Colonia, Marsella, San Juan de Luz, Bretaña, Milán, Venecia, Florencia, Atenas, Ginebra...

In google:

"Brandeburgo": 192.000
"Brandenburgo": 162.000
"Brandemburgo": 111.000

My disk says Brandenburgo, as this one.

Brandenburg is the correct spelling for the region of Germany, hence the concerti of Bach, but there a quite a few surnames such as Brandeburg etc, hence possibly the confusion.

Do you say "concerti" with Italian plural?

I knew when I wrote it, there would be query, and I guessed from whom. Yes, it is perfectly correct, even though (*think* you can't say even although ) most people these days would say concertos. But I can't bring myself to add an 's' to a polysyllabic Latin or Greek word ending in 'o'.

[poli]

...and concerto is pronounced concherto.
