Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Jol van dolga [Hungarian folk song]
Mrzzy, if you and others know the song that way, who am I to object in the name of logic? A vulture horse referring to itself as "my horse" - I have no problem with that, if I don't have to sing it!

I learned my very little Hungarian from a book, decades ago. The same applies to other languages and sciences in which "Google is my scholarship".

I was born and spent my kindergarten time in the former Sovjet Union in a Russian-speaking city; unfortunately my knowledge of that language is pretty much gone. (I remember the Russian "alphabet song" though, which comes handy when looking up words in dictionaries.) You wrote you were from Croatia; I was there once as a tourist and recognized some words, but wisely refrained from trying to speak ...
