    Yeah red paprika and sour cream both together and separately for everything :D By the way the sour cream in Hungary tastes way different (and different texture too) than in the US or even in West EU for example. Goulash soup, stuffed cabbage, stew (all version - pork, beef, deer you name it) and others are all full of red paprika powder in a spice form. And also don't forget the spicy red paprika which is like chilli and you put them on anything you want as an after seasoning like salting and such.
    Thanks for watching videos about Hungary it makes me feel proud :)

    Just a little correction here: the basis of Hungarian food is not just the paprika: it's the balance of saute'd onion, garlic, ground black pepper, different vegetables and the paprika,(sweet/ hot depending on the personal taste) sour cream is optional. most of the stew +goulash , fisherman's soup are made this way I'm an old Hungarian bloke by the way,

    Hungarian is actually pretty easy to read once learn how each letter sounds. In Hungarian, letters will always have the same reading, no matter what, unlike in English, where the word "Pacific Ocean" has 3 different sounds for the letter "C". The hardest part about the language is the grammar, which is difficult to understand even for native speakers. The only reason we understand it at all is because we were exposed to it since birth, but I genuinely have no clue how a foreigner is supposed to learn it.

      2. True, there was no independent Croatian state under Yugoslavia, so the 2nd place could be Bulgaria, which existed as the first Bulgarian empire from 681. Of course, in the meantime Bulgaria also ceased to be an independent state and fell victim to the Ottoman conquest. The situation is similar with the Serbian state, which was created in the 8th century. Another possible candidate is Norway, which, according to tradition, was first united by Harald the Fair-haired in 872. Of course, Norway, like the Yugoslavs, has shared a common history with the Danish and Swedish states, so it has not had continuous independence.
      3. Hungary. The beginning of the Hungarian state dates back to 895.

    Regarding language relations: Hungarian, Finnish and Estonian are distant relatives. All of them are Finno-Ugric, but the second two belong to the Finnic branch, whereas Hungarian belongs to the Ugric one. These languages have been developing separately for at least 2500 years.
    As to pronounciation: the letters may seem strange at first, but in Hungarian one letter represents one sound. We've got very few exceptions, and the alphabet contains double letters, like "cs" (which is almost pronounced like the worst two letter of the word "chair"), and a triple letter (dzs: the closest is the first one in the word "jungle").
    There are almost no variations in pronounciation and no silent sounds (letters).

    There are many paprika-based dishes, but sour cream is sometimes added only afterward. For example, in soups or stews, according to taste, if it complements the dish.
    The mixture of sour cream and flour is called "habarás" in Hungarian. It is a thickening technique commonly used in soups and vegetable stews. The mixture typically consists of flour and sour cream (or other dairy products like yogurt) and is stirred until smooth before being added to the dish to prevent lumps.😊

    Uralic is pronounced u-RA-lic, the stress is on the second syllable. Hungarian, Finnish and Estonian are the 3 biggest Uralic languages. The latter 2 are closely related while Hungarian is _distantly_ related to them. Most Uralic languages are minority languages in Russia. By the way related languages can be far away from each other geographically, for example Icelandic and Hindi are a world apart but they are (distantly) related.

    Ive been to many places in Europe but Budapest by far beats them all. Firstly its safe, its architecture, its food, its history and I'm only scratching the surface. If you come to Hungary hope you feel welcomed and wish you the best of times 🙏 cheers

    Hungary, Finland and Estonia are the only countries among the Uralics that have sovereign states, all three belong to the Finno-Ugric (Finnish-Hungarian) branch of the language family. However, you can find several other peoples speaking Finno-Ugric and other Uralic languages that do not have sovereign statehood. For example, the Saami in the northernmost parts of the Scandinavian countries and Finland, or loads of others in Russia. The Manshi and Khanti in Russia are the closest linguistic relatives of Hungarians, the Manshi language is actually very-very similar to Hungarian. Sadly, these various languages and peoples all around the Eurasian Steppe are on a brink of extinction due to their minority status surrounded by an overwhelming non-Uralic majority.

    The paprika and sour cream thing is not that excessive. Very prominent ingredients/seasonings, but there are plenty of options without them. Touristy places probably hyperfocused on the internationally known dishes which builds the stereotype, but Hungarian cuisine has a lot more variety.

    When taking a taxi, even people from the Hungarian countryside need to be very careful because drivers will take the longest possible route to get you where you want to go. Of course, “robbery” isn’t meant literally, but the final fare will feel like one. The Danube divides Budapest in two, and once a taxi driver took my Turkish friend back and forth across the bridges, claiming that Budapest was built on islands-which is complete nonsense. So, it’s a good idea to check Google Maps during the ride and let the driver know that you’re not stupid and they shouldn’t try to scam you.

    There are indeed natural caves in Budapest, on the Buda side. A good part of them used as cellars.
    On the Pest side, the largest artificial cave system is under the Kőbánya brewery. It is so big that part of it is rented out. The historic buildings of Budapest were built from stones mined from this cave system.
    The 300 euro exchange rate has become an old dream today. Now the exchange rate is more like 400.
    Cards are accepted everywhere. I note that the 20,000 HUF banknote is too big in many places and they cannot give you back any of it.
    The language. I am not a language teacher but I will tell you a few things. Uralic language, but much more from the Altaic side, not Finnish side.
    There are many problems with the Finnish side that the Altaic origin would solve.
    This debate starts from the second half of the 19th century, so it is older than the idea that is classified as government propaganda today.
    Very different from English. Here, the pronouns are gender-neutral.
    There are three tenses. However, there are two types of verb usage, and a 43-letter alphabet.
    Each vowel has a short and a long (accented) version.
    They are not equal, they can completely change the meaning of a word.
    (Eg álom= dream, alom= animal bedding. csikós = cca cowboy, csíkos= striped)
    About half of the 43 sounds exist in English as well, but here different letters denote the sounds. "ü" does not exist in English.
    What is common: "S" corresponds to the English sh. "SZ" is the same as the English s.
    There are soft consonants, ( gy ny ly) the pronunciation of which is close to the Slavic pronunciation.
    The y denotes a special sound. At the end of surname it can be i, otherwise a softener. In its latter role, it occurs exclusively in the combination already mentioned.

    During the last 1,500 years (since we left “magna hungaria” the region south of the Ural Mountains) our language has been evolving separately from the related languages and it has been influenced by multiple different languages as we encountered (fought and/or allied) with different ethnic groups…
    Just imagine how hard for you to understand Shakespeare’s original scripts, and multiply that by a thousand…
    Although miraculously we still can read and understand an almost thousand years old Hungarian script (yes it sounds pretty weird for the modern ears, but with some effort you can understand it), which was written down by a Latin speaking monk, who probably had zero understanding of the Hungarian language (which didn’t have any written form before that, since our ancestors used runic writing and probably some kind of knotted cords system, like the Inca quipu or some ingraved sticks, but these materials haven’t survived the last one thousand years…).
    Btw
    -the full Hungarian alphabet has 44 characters
    -it’s one of the five hardest languages to learn for foreigners
    -and (because of the above mentioned 1,5 millennia of separation from it’s relatives) there is practically no similar language in the world

    Due heavy inflation Dollar to HUF is just kinda good for you guys (not for us...) at the moment the 100 USD around 39800 Forint which is is 1USD to 398 HUF So we are way cheaper for you at the moment...
    On the other hand you just avoid taxi drivers. A 30 miles ride is almost the same price as the new whole country pass that valid for 30 days (Ország bérlet) which is around 50 USD 19000 HUF and you can travel basically everywhere with public transport in the country without additional cost (except InterCity trains where you need to reserve a seat with additional fee and the transfer bus from the airport). Sounds overkill but if you wanna travel a lot in the country and not just Budapest could worth it and a price is almost the same as 7 days with 7*24 hours tickets which only good within Budapest. And for the fun part is the 30 day pass can be purchased by foreign and if someone is a student with the proof of official student card they can buy the student pass which is way cheaper as 90% discount applied. ;) Yep 90%... so 5 USD for a valid student card for 30 days...Or if you under 25 you can get 50% dicount with valid ID. 25 USD so we are paradise for young adventures poeple.

    Don't mistake affordable pices like we're living good, most of the prices are affordable if you're not hungarian. And it's not 300Ft to 1$ anymore, it's more like 420Ft to 1$. The only reason foreign people find our prices cheap is because they get paid a lot more. The average pay in hungary is around 700$/month, so go figure. But if you search up average salary in Hungary it'll show you a lot more, but don't believe it, it's more because most of the top politicians get paid tens of millions of forint per month, either by stealing or scamming and it brings up the average, but if you're not a polotician you can consider yourself lucky if you get paid anywhere close to 1000$/month.

    Finland's language belongs in the Germanic language family: they state it very clearly. The Hapsburg rulers in their infinite wisdom created this theory that Hungarian is related to the Finn-Ugor language. They are sticking with this fake theory to this day, teaching Hungarian children these lies!
    The truth is the Hungarian (Magyar) language is oldest (next to sanskrit) in Eurasia. So the Finn-Ugor and Germanic language family did borrow some words from it, but they are not closely related. The Sumerian language and many of the Caucasian nations' languages have many similarities with Hungarian.

    Sorry, as a Hungarian I see this video silly and uninformed! Everything here is false and far from the reality, Please do your research or go there before you try to inform the public about my beautiful country!
