There are only two countries with names that begin with "The."

You might find yourself saying "the" before various countries and place names when referring to them, thanks to grammar and common pronunciation, which is why we say the United States or the Maldives. However, only The Gambia and The Bahamas formally include "the" in their names.

Isn't it funny how "the" sneaks in before certain countries? It's all about grammar and pronunciation, like with the United States or the Maldives. But did you know? Only The Gambia and The Bahamas officially include "the" in their names!

This is such an interesting tidbit! It's fascinating how language and grammar influence how we refer to different countries. I always found it unique that only The Gambia and The Bahamas formally include 'the' in their names. Thanks for sharing this fun fact!
