    Di madrelingua inglese, Tromsø è una città o un paese?


    Per favore, aiutaci a risolvere la questione una volta per tutte.

    Rilevante solo se hai visitato.

    Ho sentito dire che i tedeschi lo chiamano Dorf o Ortschaft, ma non Stadt.

    Tromsø è intuitivamente una città o un paese se volessi fare una frase al riguardo.

      I’d say it’s a city. Only people from big cities would consider it a town, but that doesn’t mean they’re correct. I live near a city of 300k people, and still some people call that a town, which is a bit silly.

      “Dorf” is the German word for a village. That cannot be seriously meant by a German. There are places with just a fraction of the population of Tromsø that is called Stadt in Germany

      Officially a city, but in my ex Tromsø head, it is a small almost town.. More a cozy village…

      Compared to pretty much any other city, it’s a town.

      It’s conspiracy theory. Actually Tromsø is boat where people built around 👍

      Brits consider something a city when it has a University and a Cathedral.

      In this case I think the definition must take into account the remote location of Tromsø. You won’t find a bigger city on the same latitude anywhere in the world bar Russia afaik.

      Context and customs, unofficial and official, leads to a city.

      It’s a city, obvs. It has a cathedral (and I mean the proper one, not the white thing over the bridge). And that makes it a city.

      We don’t really distinguish in Norwegian. Both are ‘by’.

      In English, the definition of the difference between town and city varies by country, so…. I don’t think it really matters?

      Knowing what a Dorf and an Ortschaft is, Tromso is not a town. It’s a small city where people are concentrated into a few municipal areas on the islands and the larger Tromso area is actually pretty big.

      By Norwegian standards it’s a city, at the low end of that range. It has a clear downtown and multiple districts, while being the focal point of the 1st and second degree subdivisions it is in.

      American here. Moved to Norway 3 years ago and have been to Tromsø twice. I refer to Tromsø as a city in conversation. As well as places like Ålesund, or even Arendal. Places like Lillesand or Grimstad are probably the upper limit of “town” for me. Any bigger than that and I’d start using “city”.

      Considering Oslo is around 600 thousand people, Tromsø is definitely a city by Norwegian standards.

      Depends if the king has done his setting and town to a city (idk if your monarch does that )
