Common words

2025. 05. 03.

Usually Hungarian is described as a language like no other, dissimilar to its neigbors'. A language once thought having common roots with Finnish - although, only some linguists can state this regarding the grammatical structure. In our everyday use, it is unlikely we understand each other at all and many question this causality.  Despite of it all, this group of friends managed to find some surprising commonalities among six languages; perhaps as people moved in past centuries, (no visa requirements ☺️) wars with new settlers brought their own words that mixed with the local ones or even fit better so they were adopted by the locals (loanwords). Enjoy this selection.
