agree  Jan Willem van Dormolen (X): Hoewel Kate gelijk heeft, denk ik dat provincie toch wel kan. Parish is alleen gemeente in kerkelijke zin - niet als in 'gemeente Utrecht'.

agree  Hans Vandecappelle: agree with Jan Willem

agree  Katleen Burm (X): Sven heeft absoluut gelijk. Een "län" is een grotere administratieve eenheid. Zweden heeft er zo'n 25. In Van Daele Zweeds-Nederlands staat naast "provincie" ook "administratief district". Met groetjes uit Zweden!
