2.the english word "hat" is "kalap" in hungarian, but "hat" is a hungarian word itself
with two possible english translation "six" or "does the effect".

to make it more complicated:
hat' (slo) = gt (hun) = dam (eng)


Ok. Another one is: my(sk) = what (hu) = we (en) = we(en)=you(sk)
But we have also many common words. I checked Slovak_language on wikipedia:
witch (sk: bosorka, hu: boszorkny), paprika (sk: paprika, hu: paprika), mace (sk: budzogn;, hu: buzogny), news (sk: chr, hu: hr(ek)), mine (sk: bana, hu: bnya), pick (sk: cakan, hu: cskny), skate (sk: korcula, hu: korcsolya), whip (sk: korbc, hu: korbcs), hoar (sk: dere , hu: deres), sabre (sk: abla, hu: szablya), dragon (sk: arkan, hu: srkny), "magical horse" (sk: tto hu: tltos), goon (sk: ivn; , hu: zsivny), hussar (sk: husr, hu: huszr), chteau, mansion (sk: katiel, hu: kastly), (clothing) button (sk: gombk, hu: (ruha)gomb)
On Hungarian_language it is stating: "Loans were mainly performed from the Slavic languages (for example, kira: 'king'), German (e. g. like hɛrtsɛg 'prince'), and Latin (e. g., tɛmplom 'church'). "
I read somewhere that there are 2000 words (stated by Hungarien academy of science) in HUngarien loaned from SLovak. I am not able to wind the link now. Can you help with this?

or just see Szirk (Sirk), Bkscsaba (Bekeska Caba), and so on...
....
please let me know if you has a slovak name for mytown!
it would be fine to the topic.



I was in Bkscsaba this sommer passing your town (you will find Slovak name on wikipedia.org of Szeged it is Segedn, we have even special meal: Segedn gul ). I visited relateves of my father who moved from there in 1948. I was quite said - among SLovaks there no SLovak is spoken. All the Slovak people I met, younger then 70, are not able to understand any SLovak.

Best regards - maybe we will meet somewhere somehow in a real live.
