Is this a "bojler eladó" moment? I doubt that laszlo is used in any other language.

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

He's named after Laszlo Cravensworth from What We Do in the Shadows.

But he reminds me of Jackie Daytona, somehow.

Lol that is funny. I guess its laszlo because they also use it in romania and thats where vampires come from? Idk

I'm not sure what "bojler eladó" is but that looks like either Spanish or Tagalog from first glance, and Laszlo is a Hungarian name.

That is to say, I do believe that Laszlo is used in other languages

"Bojler eladó" is hungarian for "water heater for sale". Its kinda a meme to post it anywhere hungary is mentioned. Source: im hungarian

And this is why I prefaced with "at first glance" lol

Hungarian looks surprisingly Latin. I guess to be fair, most of what I know about Hungary is WWII trivia and a couple "that's not German!" Fun facts. Is Hungarian Latin based?

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 months ago

Nope its finno-ugric(its the ugric part) which is the same family as estonian, finnish and sami. I think it looks like latin to you for two reasons. One is it has some similar grammar from my understanding with cases and stuf but the more important here is some of the early hungarian written texts were written by scribes from italy who either spoke latin because of religious reasons or just italian generally. For example the sound you here in russian in the name "vladimir" where the d is also present in hungarian but instead of wtiting it in a sane way it is written "gy"(and yes that is one letter). This is because logically it would be "dy" but the italians heard our "gy" as very similar to their "gi" for example. Bit of a mindfuck tbh.

Reminds me of Wendy's recruiting campaign "A career at Wendy's serves me right"

Don't let him walk on sand. Thats how you lose the finest mind of a generation.
