[edit] Question

From the article: Slavkov u Brna... is a country town east of Brno...

What's a "country town"?—Ëzhiki (ërinacëus amurënsis) 22:02, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

A "country town" is usually not a major city, but a small 'rural village'. That's what we refer to them as in Australia. -- Longhair

Yes, I found that reference, but this town is in Czech Republic. Do they use the same term?—Ëzhiki (ërinacëus amurënsis) 22:06, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm not Czech, but I used the term as understood by Longhair. Slavkov is administratively a city/town but in appearance a rather large village. It is a focal point for the surrounding villages (witness the castle), so I find country town a good label. JCB

Thanks, JC. I just wanted to know if it's an official term or not; you have answered my question.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 13:17, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
