4th: I havent talk or seen my cusin and aunt for years… Im sure, many families dont keep in touch.
10th: dont forget the preparation and the hours we take just for wait you guys!!!!!
11th: Its not true for me coz Im girl, but my brother did the same… soooooo true.
14th: first part is true but you can walk it through, you dont have to swim so much.
18th: … OMG I had to think it over, but now, I can remember. In school we always played a lot, compeeting who’s apple is older. XD
19: there is no illness, what pálinka doesn’t cure.
20th: I never could say it right. I always mess it up in the middle, but I can say our other favourite word: “megkelkáposztástalaníthatatlanságoskodásaitokért.
All the others I agree and are true. No question, they are just natural things for Hungarian people.
elkelkáposztástalaníthatatlanságoskodásaitokért is longer 🙂
Töredezettségmentesítőtleníttethetetlenségtelenkedhetnékem támadt.
you are consoling yourself, if you lost something, that “We lost even more at Mohács!” (Loss of the battle against the Ottoman Empire’s Army, in 1526 AD)
2. I’ve heard about a few people who can swear up to 10 minutes without repeating anything… but I don’t know if that’s true

5. true, true, true
8. not true, you see I’m using a Hungarian keyboard 😛
9. not for all the Hungarians so this is bullshit!

I would add several points : You know you are Hungarian when:
21) That touches you to the bones when you see the old big map of Hungary
