For the ask game: 7, 10, 23, 29!
Hi there!
7. three words from your native language that you like the most?
Oh wow, it's a hard question! I don't really have any favourite words, so I'm just gonna share some that foreigners usually find beautiful for some reason:
fülolaj = ear oil, cipőfűző= shoe laces, pillangó= butterfly
10. most enjoyable swear word in your native language?
It's the forth time I'm asked about this (answers here, here and here), but don't you worry, I can still share some more! XD Swearing in Hungarian is my passion apparently.
We have several words for penis, and they can be used in a very versatile way. For example: "Fasz"=dick, which can refer to an actual penis and an unpleasant person too. "Fasza"=his dick, but it is used as an adjective mostly, it can either mean that something is very great, or as a sarcastic remark for something that is awful. "Faszom"= my dick, is usually used as a short statement of annoyance, like "damnit" or "oh, shit". (It's probably my standard phrase to use when I notice something unpleasant.) We also use the word dickhead ("faszfej") the same way as in English, but we can add other words to it for variety, without any change in the meaning, e.g. "faszkalap"=dick hat. "Fasz se tudja"=my dick doesn't know, is used when you have no idea about something. This phrase can be used with any of our words for penis. "Mi a fasz?"=What is a dick? is used as what the fuck in English. Because it's a short word starting with an F, fuck is translated as "fasz" in Hungarian dub quite often. "Pöcs" also means penis, but it's a milder version of "fasz", and used for younger guys mostly (but not exclusively). "Pöcsöl"=using dick, means to waste time.
Also here's a long sentence full of swearing, which contains most of the phrases that I've listed so far, without using one twice:
A kurva élet basszon már meg, mi a szart pöcsölsz már, menjél a telibekúrt faszszopó anyádba, húzz innen a büdös picsába el a gecibe, te seggarcú rohadt ribanc!
It's over exaggerated (?), and actually very hard to translate to convey the essence truthfully without butchering it. To summarize, it means something like this: Why are you wasting my time, damnit, go fuck off already, you ugly bitch!
23. which alcoholic beverage is the favoured one in your country?
We have a wide variety, we have our own brands of beer, wine and hard liquor too.
I think beer is the most common, because it's the cheapest. There are more and more craft beer breweries out there, so there is a large selection in quality too.
I personally prefer wine, and while I am from the Northern-Eastern side of Hungary, I like wines from Lake Balaton more for some reason. We have a very sweet white wine Tokaji, which I think is a protected trademark. Another popular drink is wine mixed with soda, called "fröccs" (it's the Hungarian word for the splashing sound). Fröccs is actually my favourite drink, especially in the summer. I'm always down to a viceházmester (2dl wine+3dl water) from white wine. Here's a whole chart about fröccs types:
We have our own hard liquor too called pálinka. It's made from fruits (usually plums or peach, but can be made from anything), and the alcohol content can vary. It is actually allowed (encouraged even) to make your own pálinka. I am not a fan, but it is the most Hungarian alcohol. If you are in Hungary and you are offered a water-like clear drink, especially in the countryside, be careful! It will probably be pálinka and not water. (To illustrate how strong it can be, a common phrase to refer to pálinka is "kerítésszaggató"= fencemelting.🤷🏻♀️)
29. does your region/city have a beef with another place in your country?
Already answered here. But I just realized that I completely misunderstood the question, so I'm gonna answer this again. I live in Budapest, which is the capital of Hungary. And it's really a capital vs. countryside. But even it's a Buda vs. Pest. Or in the countryside, it's a West vs. East. As I mentioned before, Hungarians hate everyone, especially other Hungarians.

Hi!! For the ask game !!
15. a saying, joke, or hermetic meme that only people from your country will get?
Hi there! Sorry for not answering this sooner, but tbh I'm still not sure what to answer to this one.
15. a saying, joke, or hermetic meme that only people from your country will get?
We have a lot of proverbs, that makes little sense, here's a long list of them with English translations. We have a lot of sayings which were essentially a quote from a politician but are now used as a joke/meme. For example: "Ember, most jövök a templomból!" = Man, I just came out from the church! This was an "answer" provided by our Prime Minister, when he was asked about a current issue of the country. He refused to say anything else, so this phrase quickly became a joke and is used as a standard answer when you are asked about something unpleasant or when you got caught and asked about some shitty thing.
The guy who is Hide the Pain Harold, the meme, is actually a Hungarian engineer. He is a sweetheart and we love him so much. He just captures the Essence of being Hungarian so incredibly well!
We have a lot of very specific sayings and memes, most of them are borderline political satire. Our language is just so complex and nuanced that we can really get very creative with words, we really love puns.

Hi!! 4 10 and 13 for the ask game <3
Hi there! Thanks for asking!
4. favourite dish specific for your country?
Already answered here.
10. most enjoyable swear word in your native language?
Already answered here and here. But because I love swearing, I'm gonna share some more! We have a lot of words to describe the same thing, and all of them can be used with a slightly different meaning. For example these words all mean "whore": kurva, ribanc, szajha, repedtsarkú, lotyó, útszéli, örömlány, éjszakai pillangó, cafka, luvnya (and there are a lot more, I only listed the first ones from the top of my head). Some of them are almost like metaphors (repedtsarkú=with a cracked heel; éjszakai pillangó=nocturnal butterfly; útszéli=on the side of the road; örömlány=girl bringing happiness), while some are more direct and literal. There is nuance between the meaning and the use of all of them, "cafka" refers to younger girls who seeks attention, "luvnya" is usually used for older and uglier women, "szajha" is more like a concubine, and "ribanc" and "kurva" are the most commonly used terms, which can be used as adjectives too. "Kurva" is a very versatile word, we use it to emphasize other words, sort of like a superlative, similar to how "fucking" is used in English ("kurva jó"=fucking good). "Picsa" is also a commonly used versatile word, which can mean bitch or female genitals too, depending on context. If we say "Picsába" (back to a vagina), it means "oh, shit" or "damnit". But if we say "Menj a picsába!" (Go back to a vagina) it means "fuck off".
13. does your country (or family) have any specific superstitions or traditions that might seem strange to outsiders?
On the 1st January, it is forbidden to eat fish (because it will swim away with our luck), chicken, turkey or any other winged animal (because it will fly away with our luck) or beef (because it will trample away our luck). Pork is allowed, because pigs dig out the luck from the ground, and also pigs are associated with luck in general ("malaca van"=they have pigs, meaning they are lucky). It is also recommended to eat a lot of lentils, peas or beans (anything that is small and round), the more you eat, the richer you will get. So a stereotypical new year's dish looks like this:
It is a quite common superstition in Hungary, and my mother also believes in it.

Hi there!
4. favourite dish specific for your country?
Already answered here.
9. which of your neighbouring countries would you like to visit most/know best?
Already answered here.
17. are you interested in your country’s history?
History was one of my favorite subjects back in school, however I've never really enjoyed learning about Hungarian history, cause it sucks, we always chose the wrong side and lost almost every conflict we had. We came to Europe in the late 10th century, we were essentially badass nomads who tried to conquer Europe on horseback - we couldn't, decided to stay in the Carpathian Basin and adopt Christianity instead. Then we had a bunch of kings, who slowly lost all their control over the country to feudal lords. We got attacked by the Tatars (mongolians), later we got occupied by the Ottoman Empire, then we were melted into Austria under Habsburg rule. We had some greater moments in the meantime, for example we are quite proud of King Mathias Hunyadi, but that's about it. Then world wars happened, we lost more than half of our country, and then got occupied by the Soviets. We are an independent free country since 1989, but we are so bad at politics, I don't even want to start talking about it. So Hungarian history is depressing at best, no wonder we are said to be the grumpiest people.

Szia! 😊 4, 9 and 18 please 🙏
Hi! sorry for the late reply, you guys asked so much and I had to go to sleep eventually... But back I'm back with more intel about Hungary!
4. favourite dish specific for your country?
Already answered here.
9. which of your neighbouring countries would you like to visit most/know best?
Hungary's neighbour countries are the following: Slovakia, Ukraine, Romania, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia and Austria. I've been to all except Serbia and Slovenia, I've travelled through them tho. Hungary is mostly surrounded by itself population-wise, before the end of WWI, we had a quite large country, so because of our shared history we are taught about all of our neighbouring countries in school.
We are however not particularly fond of our neighbours, we are jealous of Austria because they are more advanced and richer than us (we call them our "brother-in-law"), we are also jealous of Croatia because they have a sea (rich politicians all have resorts in Croatia tho). We make fun of Slovakia for being such a "young" country (technically speaking, I am older than Slovakia), and sort of look down on Romania and Serbia (as we consider them part of the Balkan). We are sort of indifferent about Slovenia and Ukraine (the latter changed since the war tho). The joke's on us, because we are objectively doing much worse than any of our neighbours, so they should look us down, really.
But back to the original question, I'd really like to visit Slovenia, it looks like such a charming destination (and I need to add it to "my collection" of visited countries haha), and maybe have a vacation in Croatia (I've only seen the Plitvice lakes/waterfalls, but not the sea). I've been to Austria and Slovakia multiple times, but I actually liked my visit to Ukraine the most. Obviously that was way before the war, so the Kyiv I've seen is probably very different now. I'm really interested in the Cold War Era of history, and their Cold War Museum was top tier.
18. do you speak with a dialect of your native language?
Already answered here. Also gonna link an almost decade old audio post of me talking in Hungarian, even tho I think it's pretty standard in case of dialect.

Hi! ❤️ I’m interested to lean about Hungary
1, 10 and 16
Hi there anon!
1. favourite place in your country?
Already answered here.
10. most enjoyable swear word in your native language?
Already answered here. But because I am really a big fan of swearing in Hungarian, I'm gonna share some more! In the other ask I described phrases which don't necessarily contain actual swearwords, but still mean swearing. We do it the other way around too! For example "bassza meg" means fuck this, if we say it like "baszd meg!" it means fuck you. The word for fuck is "baszni", that we can use in a lot of ways. For example, "bebaszni" means to get drunk, "kibaszni" and "átbaszni" can either mean throwing sth out or screwing with someone (as in pranking them or sth), "lebaszni" means to tell someone off, "összebaszni" means to mess something up (make sth dirty), "visszabaszni" means to give (or throw) something back, "felbaszni" means to make someone angry, "megbaszni" means to fuck someone.
16. which stereotype about your country you hate the most and which one you somewhat agree with?
I think all stereotypes have some truth to them. Hungarians are considered to be very grumpy and pessimistic. I think we can't deny this when we have an actual saying about this: "sírva vígad a magyar" (Hungarians have fun by crying).
I think depending on who you ask, Hungary is also considered not educated enough and poor, which is unfortunately true (especially in the countryside) to a certain extent, but as I mentioned in a previous answer here, we are also quite smart and resourceful.
Dutch and English bachelors/bachelorettes really like to come to us to party, because we are quite cheap and have a wide variety of alcohol selection. Which is also true, we have beer, wine and hard liquor (pálinka), it's not that expensive (even for us) and it's very easy to buy (after 10 PM and under 18 years it's not permitted, but in reality noone really cares).
I don't want to bring up politics again, so i'm just gonna say that we all hate the Hungry/Hungarian puns!

Hi there! (I think we are neighbors?)
1. favourite place in your country?
Already answered here.
4. favourite dish specific for your country?
I think the most famous is Gulyás (goulash), which is actually a soup originally made from beef and a shitton of paprika. My favourite ones are however lángos, which is a fried sort of bread-like street food with sour cream, garlic and cheese (there are a lot of other versions now), and túró rudi which is a... chocolate bar kind of thing with cottage cheese. I know it sounds disgusting, but it's better than it sounds, I swear! This one has a lot of different versions now too, my current personal favourite is flavored with chestnuts. I also like töltött káposzta (stuffed cabbages), it's usually prepared for Christmas, and I think our neighbor counties also have a dish very similar to it.
5. favourite song in your native language?
I have a lot! I listen to Hungarian alternative/underground rock a lot (unfortunately it's not that popular genre here nowdays), so from the top of my head, I'd pick these three:
Tánc by Kiscsillag. I just like the vibe of this song, I can't really explain why.
Magam adom by Quimby. It's my number one heartbreak song because of the lyrics.
Beszorult mondat by Kispál és a Borz feat. Krúbi. They are an old band who reunited last year after almost a decade of silence. This song is from their newest album, and they had a collab with a new popular rapper, which shouldn't work, but somehow this track is just so good?!
10. most enjoyable swear word in your native language?
We have so many swearwords, it's very hard to pick just one! We can get very creative with them, we can swear for multiple minutes straight without saying the same word twice! Also, the meaning of our words are quite nuanced, so we have a lot of phrases which technically contain no swearwords but are used as swearing. To illustrate this a bit, lets start with a "basic" phrase: kurva anyád = "motherfucker", literally meaning your mother is a whore. The phrase still qualifies as a swearing if the actual swearword ("kurva") is not included, to the point that we use "anyázni" (mentioning someone's mother) as a synonym for cursing. So if we ask "Anyád hogy van?" (How is your mother feeling?) it can mean fuck off. "Menj anyádba!" (Go back into your mother!) is more direct and also means fuck off. "Anyám, borogass!" (Mother, please bathe me!) can be used the same way, but it's milder and now a little archaic even, it's mostly used as a sarcastic remark like "no shit, sherlock". Speaking of shit, we are very creative with this word too. We use it as noun and an adjective too, "szar" can be used for anything that's bad. If we say "Szarjál sünt!" (Go and shit hedgehogs!) that can also mean fuck off. I can go on and on forever, especially that I swear a lot. Or in Hungarian, "kibaszottul kurva sokat káromkodok!" (I swear so fucking much.)😅🤬

I need to know more about Hungary!
8, 14, 22, 26, and 29 please ❤️
Hi there! Here we go, it took way longer to answer than expected...
8. do you get confused with other nationalities? if so, which ones and by whom?
It's a tricky question on my end, because I am partly Vietnamese on my father's side, so I'm usually not assumed to be Hungarian at all (even tho that as I'm getting older I'm looking more and more Caucasian). I'm assumed to be Chinese, because Asian=Chinese in most people's minds here. (It's actually a pet peeve of mine, but that's another question.) I think Hungarians in general get confused with Slavic/Balkan people? Maybe Germans? Idk, when abroad they often think my mother is either Russian or French, while my bf is thought to be Austrian (which is fair enough, because his ancestors are from Austria/Germany).
14. do you enjoy your country’s cinema and/or TV?
Already answered here.
22. what makes you proud about your country? what makes you ashamed?
Proud: We are ridiculously good at some sports, we are I think the 14th in most Olympic Games medals per capita list at the moment. We also have a lot of Nobel prize winners (we are the 13th I think?), and generally a lot of cool things were invented by Hungarians (e.g. Rubik cube, matches, ballpoint pens, Vitamin C, the basis of computers, the basis of Microsoft Word and Excel, etc.). I also think our language is badass, it's in the top10 hardest languages to learn. I also really like how diverse our gastronomy can be, and the so called ruin pubs are good stuff.
Ashamed: Politics... And the general attitude of people, I mean when I can see a sign printed out in Hungarian in hotel cafeterias abroad, saying "Please do not steal!", I feel like denying where I'm from.
26. does your nationality get portrayed in Hollywood/American media? what do you think about the portrayal?
Hungary is mostly non-existent is Hollywood, but since a lot of American movies/TV shows are actually produced in Hungary, recently we are mentioned by name more (see the Black Widow movie for example). Sometimes our language is used as like an evil devil "language", or we are just vaguely referred as "East European" or "Post Communist" or part of the Balkan. We are depicted as uncultured poor people and/or criminals. Not the most flattering portrayal, however there is some truth in all.🤷🏻♀️
29. does your region/city have a beef with another place in your country?
Oh boy, it's easier to list the ones we don't hate. XD We have a mutual friendship with Poland, but that's about it? Hungarians hate everyone (including themselves). We were very, lets say, unlucky with our history, so we are a country who is surrounded by itself population-wise. Therefore we hate every neighboring country (I think maybe Romania the most?). We are historically super bad at picking sides (I mean we always were on the eventually losing side of every big conflict), so it's no wonder that nowdays we try to be good with Russia, China, Turkey, Trump's USA... As I said, politics are bad here.

1, 18 and 28!!! Also I want to say that lake Balaton is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen 😍
A fun fact about Lake Balaton is that there is a... lets say, mockup conspiracy group, modelled after the flat earth believers, who (ironically) think that Lake Balaton does not exist... Which is sometimes actually true, when the weather is too hot that the water just evaporates and the lake shrinks so much in size that it can be barely considered a lake anymore.
1. favourite place in your country?
I gotta say Budapest, which is the capital city, where I live. I'm originally from the norther-eastern side of Hungary, we moved to Budapest in '99, and while I like that part of the country still, I cannot imagine ever living anywhere else than Budapest in Hungary. The whole infrastucture of the country is set up in a way that the capital is The Center, so everything is here. I like the busy city life, so it's really my jam.
18. do you speak with a dialect of your native language?
Probably? It depends on who you ask. When I was a kid my Eastern Hungarian "accent" was very thick (which I think was probably hilarious because I looked extremely Asian as a kid, yet I spoke like a constantly drunk middle-aged Hungarian factory worker). I've been living in Budapest for 25 years, so this dialect disappeared from my speech, only some phrases and specific wording stayed that usually slip into my sentences accidentally. (My bf lived in the capital all his life, so he often points out and even makes fun of my "countryside dialect".)
28. does your country have a lot of lakes, mountains, rivers? do you have favourites?
We have some lakes, the biggest one is Lake Balaton. The two biggest rivers are the Danube and Tisza. Generally speaking, we have a lot of water in Hungary (except a sea, lol), so thermal baths are all over the country, in the most noname little villages even. About mountains, well. We like to call them mountains, but they barely register as a hill, I mean our highest is a few metres over 1000m? Hungary is mostly very flat, you can see far-far away and see nothing really, which can be a mood, I'm not gonna lie. The most famous poet Sándor Petőfi was really into the flatness of Hungary, he wrote multiple poems about what a liberating feeling it is for him to just see the flat earth for miles and miles, without anything else to "cage" it. (I don't like his poetry that much tbh.) I'm a city girl, so I'm not really moved by nature in general, but I like the area where I was born, which is where our "mountains" are. It's not a very popular area, because that county is one of the poorest and populated by the least educated people. We have a lot of castles and wine there tho! (Ironically, I prefer wines from Lake Balaton over wines from Eger.🙈)

11. favorite native writer/poet?
14. do you enjoy your country’s cinema and/or TV?
Hi!
11. favourite native writer/poet?
Tbh I don't have a favourite, I haven't actually read anything from a Hungarian writer/poet since high school (other than like textbooks and professional stuff). If I really had to choose, I'd maybe pick Endre Ady, he was a pioneer in poetry, so different and charismatic that he jumpstarted a whole new "era" of literature in Hungary. And he had a quite interesting life too, I remember liking learning about him back in school. Here's a link to an English translation of one of his more famous poems, which is about the hurt/comfort relationship between him and his lover.
14. do you enjoy your country’s cinema and/or TV?
We have some good stuff, but because Hungary is a very small country, the market is small too, therefore filmmaking needs to be funded by the state. And our current government likes to fund projects that further emphasize their ideology mostly, so... Meh. The TV shows are a little better, but there are not that many actual original stories in TV now. I don't really like those, because most of them are "comedies" and their humour is a little... simple and kinda offensive. A lot of blockbuster movies (the most recent ones are Dune 2 and Poor Things) are actually made in Hungary tho, because it's cheap to produce films here, and we have won some Oscars too in the past few years. A Hungarian movie I liked is Liza, the fox fairy, I think it's on Netflix. That's a weird, but very fun movie.
Sort of related to the original question, they say that Hungarian voice acting is world famous (which in itself is a paradox, lol), and I kinda agree with the sentiment? There are movies where the Hun Dubbed version is actually better than the original, we have some movies which were translated in a way that for example, all the lines rhyme and they filled it with a shitton of puns, for no particular reason other than just flexing their linguistic skills?

Tell publicly 3 facts about yourself or your three favourite songs or favourite books (it can be anything, really-whatever you want to share/feel like talking about) then send it some people you like!💕
I’m gonna go with facts!
I hate coconuts, the taste especially, but the smell too!
I’ve been to (spent at least one full day) 33 countries so far! The majority of the countries are European, some from Asia and North Africa. However, I’ve never been to the Americas yet! This year i will visit Georgia and Azerbaijan, so soon 2 more will be added to the “collection”!
I wanted to be a pathologist as a kid. I really liked watching how my father dissected chickens, and generally i found it fascinating what’s inside the body. Also there was a tv show about a patologist lady who had to solve the mistery of what was the cause of death, and i thought that it’s the coolest thing ever (even tho i was probably too young to watch that show, hmm). I know, i know, my stereotypical Scorpio is showing…
