Iāll cut you some slack. Itās one of my 4 languages too, but Grammarly constantly tells me I suck at it so bad that I start to doubt that itās my first language, and itās embarrassingly probably the one Iām supposedly first at.
Plus I taught lots of other people how to speak English, but if Iām so bad at, I feel bad for the people who learned from me.
You need to learn French next in your spare time.
You win. I feel like Iām constantly learning English, and I enjoy butchering Latin while retaining useful phrases like no entiendo and je ne parle pas franƧais in the 
. At one time I learned āthank youā and a few other things in Romanian and Hungarian when I traveled to those places, and I can still say those things, but writing them with the proper diacritics isnāt something I can accurately do from memory.
To be honest, I took Latin in high school, sort of had no choice as it was forced on us. Sit;ll I have to rely on Google to translate your Latin phrases 
None of my known languages come close to Hungarian or Romanian. You have to know the history of Europe to understand the mismatch of languages and cultures that formed that continent.
At least you always do. 
I use Google Translate to check my work when Iām playing around with the language. 
Oof. No kidding. Some Romanian made some sense to me because I heard a lot of Spanish in the part of the States where I grew up, and Romanian sounded like a mix of Spanish with some Slavic influence tossed in. Hungarianā¦no clue. Couldnāt relate that to anything Iād heard or read before. 
I finally got around to watching that. I was a little skeptical given its lower rating (which was maybe a good thing, because it set my expectations low), but I really dug it. I especially enjoyed how much they incorporated so many sound effects and dialogue from the original films. Good recommendation! 
Because Hungarians are, how should I put it, stubborn and very nationailistic, not in a bad way, donāt get me wrong. They just want to keep what is theirs, theirs. If you catch my drift.
That seems like an accurate assessment from my recollection. Again, it didnāt strike me as a negative thing but as a definitely individualistic spirit.
I think it has to do with the Ottoman Empire occupying the region for five centuries, 
Kind of a āweāre not taking any of this oppressor 
ā attitude?
Odds and ends for a rainy Halloween 2024.

Some of this stuff is just so ridiculous that it actually makes me laugh out loud in genuine amusement! Case in point 
:
Note: I want to be clear that Iām not poking fun at the spelling. I laughed at the idea and the accompanying photo. That 
seems so absurdly happy to be resting on the 
!
Here is a photo I found a long time ago that AI would not allow me to reproduce.
I thought it was a work of art before AI.
I guess you have to make sure the hose is clean before you use it.
I would rather pay more and get the knock-out gas and a private room.
Nice. One of the funniest things about that image is the sagittal view of the olā bean up on the video display. I guess that tells you where the guyās head is.
You should have. That was a horrible mistake. 
Nah, it was the idea that it communicated and then the ridonkulous picture of the on the , just basking in all that ketchup and mustard, looking as happy as a 
in !
Visited Budapest once for three days. Budapest is pronounced Buda-Pesht because there is no āzā behind the āsā. The mountainous city north of the river is called Buda. The city south is flat and called Pest. They put a bridge in because the Danube River would only freeze-over in Winter. I remember withdrawing 66,000 Hungarian Forints from the ATM and felt weathly but realized it was approximately equivalent to $200 US. Beautiful country.
Unlike Szeretek, where the āzā is silent. Szeretek means āI love youā.
So I guess my name would be Szteve?
I did meet a Szuszy or Susy online.
I didnāt spend much time there, but I thought Budapest seemed like a cool city, and the Danube appeared to be much cleaner there than it had been when I was upstream in Vienna (just eyeballing it, anyway). Itās a place I might like to visit again at some point.
A Viking River cruise from Budapest to Vienna to Passau to Regensberg to Nuremberg was spectacular. I got there two days early to see Budapest and the Christmas Markets.
I was amazed how old everything was till I visited Israel and walked through caves from 660 BC. Budapest was different but not too different.
Vienna was nice as well. When did you visit?
Summer of '91 for me, both places on the same trip, also some time in Romania, where I recall seeing huge fields of sunflowers but donāt recall ever seeing clouds in the sky. (It was sunny and hot the whole time I was there.)
