To be honest though, I very much doubt Viktor Orban gives a damn what the Obola virus thinks

That's good to hear. I wonder how hard it is to learn Hungarian?

Very difficult language! I am trying to learn, but from pronunciation to word construction, you must forget everything you know about other languages.

Hungarian is said to be very hard to learn. It is not an Indo-European language so not related to the Germanic, Romance, or Slavic languages. It is distantly related to Finnish and Estonian and to a few obscure languages in Siberia. Very few words look like the equivalent words in most European languages. The English word “coach” derives from the name of a Hungarian town, and the word “goulash” comes from Hungarian. The Hungarian word “nagy” (pronounced “nodge”) means “big” and is sometimes found as a surname, as in Imre Nagy, the hero of the Hungarian Revolution of 1956.
