Does the notion of "Nordic countries" exist in your language?

[Hithaeglir]

It exists as a term,but it's not used.A greek would refer to those countries as "Northern" or simply as "Scandinavian".

[Linebacker]

We call them Severni(Translated "Northern").

[Ouistreham]

En français on distingue Scandinavie et Pays Nordiques (= Scandinavie + Finlande)

Europe du Nord est une notion plus vague, pouvant inclure Grande-Bretagne, Irlande, Pays-Bas, Allemagne du Nord.

Nord seul réfère normalement au département français ainsi nommé, excepté dans des expressions comme "bois du Nord" (= timber from Sweden or Finland) ou "Grande Guerre du Nord" (= Stora Nordiska Kriget)

[Empecinado]

Yes, it is used as synonymous of Scandinavia (including Finland). Does not includes Estonia though

[Leto]

We mainly say "Scandinavian countries" (скандинавские страны). The word "Nordic" (нордический) exists too, but it means "blond Northern European" or something like that.

[KawaiiKawaii]

En français on distingue Scandinavie et Pays Nordiques (= Scandinavie + Finlande)

Pour la majorité des gens, Scandinavie et pays nordiques sont synonymes.

[DebtCollector]

This term is forced here heavily by the Finlandssvensk jews, who want us to have a shared identity with the bögs to our west. It is a total social construct. Especially in grade school swedish education they are trying to make believe that there exists some kind of Nordic integrity. You will see Finnish kids identifying as Scandinavians because they have been taught so.

[Arthur Scharrenhans]

Paesi nordici here means mostly Scandinavia but sometimes broadly everything above the Alps (for those who are at the Southern tip of Europe almost everything is Nordic...).
Nordici=the Nordics, who live in the Nordic countries.
Nordisti=derogative/sarcastic gergal form when one want to label Nordics as obtuse, bigoted and closed among themselves.

True. In Italy it's not unusual to see even Switzerland labelled as a 'Nordic country'.

However, nordico can also mean 'Northern' (as an alternative to settentrionale) in a broader sense, e.g. to refer to someone or something from Northern Italy, while nordista is used AFAIK to refer either to the Union side in the American Civil War (its 'proper' meaning), or to Northern Italians in a jocular (not necessarily derogative) way - I never heard it applied to Scandinavians.
