What gets me about the months of the year is they made perfect sense: OCTober (eight) SEPTember (seventh) NOVember (ninth) and DECember (tenth) until some idiot added July (Julius Caeser) and August (Augustus Caeser) IN THE MIDDLE OF THE YEAR!!!!
Hello!

In Hungarian:
Monday = Hétfő - which literally translated means "week-head", ie. start of the week. The word for week = "hét" which is also the word for 7, hehe. Logical.
Tuesday = Kedd - no idea where that comes from
Wednesday = Szerda -"
Thursday = Csütörtök - "
Friday = Péntek - "
Saturday = Szombat - "
Sunday = Vasárnap - "vasár" is an old word for "vásár" which means market. And "nap" means "day". So literally translated - "Market-day" as the village markets used to be held on Sundays.
As for counting to ten:
egy
kettő
három
négy
őt
hat
hét
nyolc
kilenc
tíz
Happy now?
