Actually Vaskez, we do use the term 'Magyar' in English when describing the race historically - from the great migration from central Asia onward - and the race as a whole, including Magyars in Transylvania and other parts of 'Greater Hungary', as well as the name of the language.

'Hungarian' is what we call residents of Hungary - even though you guys call the place 'Republic of the Magyars' or something. Surrounding Euro states all have derivations of the name 'Hungary' too. 'Ungarn' etc. I'd say it comes from the Austrian Empire (Osterreich) days yes?

On that name, it's interesting that we use a phonetic translation -'Austria' for 'Osterreich' - even though it literally means 'Eastern Empire'. Screwy naming once again

Right Epona?

Vaskez, I had a Magyar student once, a young man named Brock Tamasi. I think I've mentioned him before to you.

I've also been to Budapest. Nice place. Great, cheap wine. Friendly people. Still have some Forintz back home. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Are you in Budapest?

Ionut · 01-27-2002, 06:12 PM

Ahh yes I remember talking about this with you before. I just posted this thread now cos I was inspired by Byronas' "Yahoo another Greek person.." thread.

Hmm Austria....Osterreich...damn I never click that Osterreich was eastern empire, it's so obvious what with Ost=East in german and Reich I could've guesses from Third Reich or whatever

Heh we call the place Magyarország which means Magyar country.
To be honest, I'm not quite sure where the term Hungary, Ungarn etc. comes from ??? (shame on me

) any ideas Yorick?

Yeah you mentioned him before...what do you teach again? Heh I was born in Budapest and have relatives there but live in England...haven't I told you this before? I don't think I could speak/write English like this if I didn't live here.

Forints..yeah you mentioned that too..around the time I arrived here on IW in April or May last year. Hehe, bet the ones you got aren't worth much now...luckily it has stabilised in the last 2 years.
