You'll be surprised how many similarities are there. I saw a movie a couple of years ago I saw a movie about a German officer's life, during the second world war and in a kitchen there was a jar with the inscription Cukor. Cukor is sugar in Hungarian, but turns out in Polish as well. So who knows 😂

I think you are right. I don´t know why I heard over and over again how the Hungarian language is difficult, crazy and different than any other language in the world. I´m sure there are many similarities with other languages, probably Slavic languages especially. Btw sugar is "cukor" in Slovakian language and "cukr" in ours ;) We are all one big language family :D
This discussion is getting funnier and funnier 🤣
I'm laughing because I've been asked several times if Hungarian is difficult and my answer always is: "Not for me" 😂
But I suppose it must be difficult, especially the grammar. I've been tutoring my niece and nephew both in English and sometimes it was easier to explain the grammar by comparing to Romanian.
I also know Americans who came here and decided to learn Hungarian and after 3 months of struggle they decided to drop the Hungarian classes and switch to piano 😂
Hahaha, I can totally imagine :D Our language is actually considered ridiculously difficult and complicated as well :D And it´s only spoken here, in this tiny country so why would any foreigner want to learn it? :D Btw I don´t know why but I always forget if you are a Romanian living in Hungary or a Hungarian living in Romania :D
😆 🤣
I know, must be confusing. I'm Hungarian living in Romania, Transylvania to be precise and Hungarian is my first language. You probably know Transylvania has been part of Hungary before the Trianon treaty. The Hungarian minority is the biggest in Romania.
Now I know, thanks for the explanation :)
