"One thing I feel people aren't keeping in mind is that direct translation cannot always occur between two languages as culturally diverse as English and Hungarian. For those who understand Hungarian slang, you know that (as Tomkut stated) ""kurva"" does not exactly equate to ""fucking"" in English. You must realize that, in Hungarian, it's not nearly as offensive to use what we consider ""dirty"" words in casual conversation. I feel that there should be a cultural disclaimer saying that the words ""kurva"" does not directly translate to ""fucking"" (depending on context it can roughly translate to: whore, bitch, or even damned). ""Bassza meg"" is much closer to the severity of the English word ""fuck."" I feel that people will take this translation to be much more vulgar than it was intended in the native tongue, all personal views and politics aside. - 14:10, 20 September 2006
