You know you are Hungarian when...

These are all so true!!! Love it. Szeretem a magyarok!

• nobody can properly pronounce your last name.
• nobody can properly pronounce your first name
• nobody believes that you don't understand Finnish. (the closest related language to Hungarian)
• you love Turó Rudi but can't really explain to foreigners what the hell it is 
• you start counting on your hand with one being the thumb.
• zou cant tzpe on and english kezboard because y and z are mixed up. (drove me nuts!)
• you know the difference between s and sz and also u and ü.

• you have a nameday and no one foreign understands what that is good for.
• you greet everyone with a kiss on both cheeks!
• you know that all geniuses and celebrities have some relation with Hungarians or they are Magyar
• you put ketchup on your pizza (I was skeptical at first, but delicious!)
• you know what is the difference between "puszi" and "csók"!

• you know the Rubik's cube was invented in Hungary
• you've experienced the worst customer service ever known to mankind. 
• you've ridden the BKV for free, either not gotten caught, or been able to talk your way out of a fine (check - my transit pass was expired for a month and no one noticed!)

• you say 'Szia' or 'Hello' instead of 'Viszlát' to your friends when you say good-bye to them
• you can (actually) pronounce gy, as in HOGY VAGY - and not say hogi-vagi.
• you think it's weird that Americans don't have gates around their homes. (or you are American and think it's weird Hungarians have gates around their homes!) 
• you fill your fridge completely after a simple day of shopping. (darn tiny fridges!)
• you have the largest collection of plastic bags in the world, but will still take loads from Tesco because they are free.
• EVERYTHING has paprika in it.....EVERYTHING
