Who’s the most famous person in your nation?

Lucky-Durian1718@reddit

Dead: Pele, I guess.

Alive: idk. Gisele Bundchen? Paulo Coelho? Neymar jr? You tell me.

[-]

O_Patrick_Eimai@reddit

Dead: Alexander the Great, Leonidas, Plato or Pythagoras probably.

Alive: Giannis Antetokounmpo I guess?

[-]

O_Patrick_Eimai@reddit

Varoufakis is indeed a brilliant mind and a succesful economist, but I don't think that people know him more than let's say top 3 basketball players in the world.

[-]

pdonchev@reddit

Among philosophers, Aristotle / Plato / Socrates are the most famous. Aristotle may actually be more famous than Alexander.

[-]

Stverghame@reddit

Dead: Nikola Tesla

Alive: Novak Đoković or Nikola Jokić

Filled_Paprika@reddit

Čekam raspravu je li Tesla bio naš ili vaš. Te su mi najdraže 😂

[-]

Stverghame@reddit

There's no need for that, as his ethnicity is pretty much knowm to everyone except for a few people that deny facts.

[-]

Stverghame@reddit

Checkmate, that's called "tesla" in Serbian as well

[-]

concombre_masque123@reddit

we even have a saying, "sa-ti dai cu tesla-n coaie" , so obviously Tesla was romanian

[-]

concombre_masque123@reddit

we even have a saying: sa-ti dai cu tesla-n coaie

[-]

deviendrais@reddit

Saying that there’s a dispute over his ethnicity is like saying that there’s a dispute over the shape of the earth. You have scientists on one side and re*ards on the other

Nema nikakve rasprave, bio je cistokrvni srbin

Nole and Joker is some serious flex, ngl.

Unable-Stay-6478@reddit

If Tesla is Croatian then that makes you a Serb. 👌🏻

[-]

AelishCrowe@reddit

We all are Serbs- Ask Jovanka Jolić- političku aktivistkinju i poznavateljicu povesti od vremena Annunakija.

[-]

Stverghame@reddit

You're saying that on every thread, little guy can't stop saying lies just to try to provoke someone. What a miserable life.

[-]

zanimljivo123@reddit

If tesla is croatian then ban jelacic is a serb, ataturk is greek and momcilo djujic is a proud croat

[-]

maria_paraskeva@reddit

"I'm a proud Croatian"
- Nikola Tesla

[-]

Stverghame@reddit

You guys sre obsessed, that's the only thing I'll say.

[-]

AnteChrist76@reddit

Only person who ever brings up his ancestry are Serbs, almost without exception, and literally without exception if you dont count trolls and children.

[-]

AnteChrist76@reddit

Reality can be hard to accept sometimes, but im sure youll manage.

[-]

True-Blacksmith4235@reddit

That Marina Abramović is Serbian is somehow so on point for us

[-]

barbiejennie@reddit

She’s pretty famous in the art scene in the us

[-]

superstarbxtch@reddit

Boban Rajović... hahahahahahhahah a što je ovo

[-]

Idk, I guess Epic Sax Guy or O-Zone, I can name a lot more famous people but people on the Internet outside Moldova aren't really interested in them. If we're talking about historical figures then I guess Stephen the Great

[-]

PisicaIntergalactica@reddit

Stephen the Great was not from Republic of Moldova

[-]

Bogatsmonian@reddit

He's the national hero of Moldova for a reason

[-]

concombre_masque123@reddit

yea, but you are from eastmoldova

[-]

Bogatsmonian@reddit

I've never heardvsomeone say east Moldova, and, Stephen the Great IS the national hero of the Republic of Moldova

[-]

concombre_masque123@reddit

now you have heard

rep of moldova is east moldova. get a map

[-]

Bogatsmonian@reddit

Whatever you say man

[-]

Geolib1453@reddit

He is literally national hero of both Romania and Moldova.

[-]

Bogatsmonian@reddit

I'm not saying you shouldn't, we should be proud of him, and Moldova was always a romanian country, but Stephen ruled in the Principality of Moldavia, and that's the predecessor of Moldova, just like how Wallachia is one of the predecessors of Romania.

[-]

Bogatsmonian@reddit

Neither was Vlad Tepes romanian then, you're responding to my comment saying this but not the others.

[-]

PisicaIntergalactica@reddit

Where was Vlad Tepes born? And Stephen the Great?

[-]

Bogatsmonian@reddit

I agree with you now lol

[-]

Bogatsmonian@reddit

Both are from modern-day Romania, key word: modern-day Romania

The most famous Albanian ever is probably Mother Theresa. If we are speaking for the ones alive - then it's Dua Lipa.

I remember seeing on the news that Dua Lipa recently acquired a Kosovar passport !

[-]

Dragonslayer101101@reddit

yeah her parents are ethnic Albanians from Kosovo

Beethoven, Wagner, Arminius

I would have said Inna for Romania, but this is the best answer. 😂

[-]

Crunchy_Sunshine7891@reddit

Andrew Tate 🥲

[-]

CataphractBunny@reddit

Isn't he an American?

[-]

Crunchy_Sunshine7891@reddit

Nope, romanian

[-]

CataphractBunny@reddit

You made me google that idiot now. I hope you're happy. 😂

Wikipedia says this:

Emory Andrew Tate III, 1 December 1986 (age 38), Washington, D.C., US

[-]

Crunchy_Sunshine7891@reddit

Wikipedia can be edited by anyone

[-]

CataphractBunny@reddit

How does that negate the fact that he's a born American?

[-]

CyberWarLike1984@reddit

Țâțe? Immigrant from outside the EU, coming to EU to do crime. We need stronger borders

Andrea Tatenescu*

Novak Đoković or Jesus Christ

[-]

Throwaway2747281919@reddit

Hristo Stoichkov definitely, he is the only Bulgarian to have won the Ballon d'Or. I may also give a shout for Dimitar Berbatov since he was really good during his time in Manchester United.

Outside of sports, maybe Azis, like our international teachers' first taste of Bulgarian music is always Sen Trope by Azis (which I do not condone because this entire genre is abhorrent).

[-]

pdonchev@reddit

I am not sure it's "definitely". Grigor Dimitrov and Hristo Yavashev are probably close. Also Nina Dobrev.

[-]

shurdi3@reddit

Oddly enough, the song used for most memes about Bulgaria is not by Azis, but rather Nikola Tesla.

[-]

ovomijepetiprofilotp@reddit

If Milko has a million fans, then I am one of them. If Milko has ten fans, then I am one of them. If Milko has only one fan then that is me. If Milko has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against Milko, then I am against the world.

Throwaway2747281919@reddit

Josip Broz Tito :)

[-]

fearofalmonds@reddit

Probably salt bae🤦‍♂️

[-]

Theterphound@reddit

Burak is way cooler

[-]

GrumpyFatso@reddit

Not gonna lie, he's (in)famous, but i would argue that Atatürk still outshines him. And that annoying ice cream vendor who steals your ice ten times before he sells it to you.

[-]

Foreign-Opening@reddit

Salt Bae and Erdogan are definitely more famous than Ataturk. If I were to mention him to anyone, they wouldn’t recognise him unless they were a history fanatic - an honourable mention however would be Ekin-Su Culculoglu (in the UK, not so much the US)

[-]

UnbiasedPashtun@reddit

Erdogan is far more well known.

[-]

Domestically or internationally?

Not Lepa Brena?!

PlumMiddle9456@reddit

Lepa Brena is from Serbia.

[-]

Icy-man8429@reddit

Bosanka je....

[-]

PlumMiddle9456@reddit

Rodila se u BiH, živjela do svoje 20. godine u Bosni a ostatak života i većinu svog života živi u Srbiji i priča srpski a ne bosanski. I ona bosanka?

[-]

cybran3@reddit

A kojim ti jezikom pričaš, pa te i Srbi, Hrvati, i Crnogorci razumiju sve? Daj bo ne seri tu,

[-]

PlumMiddle9456@reddit

BOSANSKI i naravno da se razumijemo, ali mi imamo svoj jezik i znam koliko to nekim neljudima smeta.

[-]

cybran3@reddit

E pa to ti nije različit jezik već dijalekti jednog jezika koji se u proslom vijeku zvao Srpsko-Hrvatski. Vece razlike ima Njemački jezik unutar granica države u razlicitim regijama, nego sto su razlike jezika koji se priča u Hrvatskoj, Srbiji, Bosni, i Crnoj gori. To sto se ti “osjecas” kao da je to poseban jezik ne znaci da je to stvarno tačno. Osjecaji nemaju nikakve veze sa činjenicama.

[-]

vbd71@reddit

She speaks Bosnian with Serbian accent ... or vice versa. ROFLMAO.

[-]

Icy-man8429@reddit

Onda je i Tesla Hrvat

[-]

PlumMiddle9456@reddit

Neka se oni raspravljaju o Tesli😅Ja kao bosanka ne vidim Brenu kao bosanku.

Icy-man8429@reddit

vbd71@reddit

Jugoslovenka je, she says it in one of her songs.

[-]

Own_Assignment7582@reddit

Wait what!? I can’t tell if you are being serious or sarcastic because she was born and raised in Brcko Distrikt….

[-]

PlumMiddle9456@reddit

She has been living in Serbia for about 40 + years which is most of her life. She speaks Serbian, not Bosnian. She is a Serbian singer.

[-]

AelishCrowe@reddit

Her real name is Fahreta Živojinović born Jahić, bosnian muslim woman wich had great look and voice good enough to become star.She changed her religion and become pravoslav- so her new name become Jelena.

[-]

Own_Assignment7582@reddit

What makes someone Serbian I’m so confused now? Like my parents immigrated to America lived here 30 plus years and speak English doesn’t make them American per se…

[-]

duschaan@reddit

You mean dialect not language, right? Right?!!

[-]

PlumMiddle9456@reddit

They are official languages, not dialects.

CmdrJemison@reddit

Love dubioza. Saw them in cologne a few months ago.

[-]

PlumMiddle9456@reddit

I know people from Colombia who listen to Dubioza. I love them💃🏻

[-]

Fluid-Scar-6020@reddit

For BiH I would either say Edin Džeko or Gavrilo Princip. One is a very famous football player, and the other one the reason a whole world war started. Hard to beat that imo.

[-]

PlumMiddle9456@reddit

True that

There is no arguing whole world claims he is serbian - american or just serbian, only croatians say he is croatian.

A Tito??? Pravi Josip Broz bio je Hrvat. No postoje dvojbe jel' to ista osoba.

A gospon Slavoljub Penkala- još bi mrljali nalivperom dugo da nije izumio kemijsku olovku( ok poljski korjeni kod njega postoje ali smatrao se Hrvatom- ko što Tesla u biti ima hrvatske korijene....😁)
