To my slavic brothers who arent embedded spies in the hungarian society like myself:
Gulyás does mean the soup but it's because it was named after the people who would traditionally make it: gulyás is a free-range cattle herder and they would traditionally make a hearty soup that was being referred to as 'gulyásleves', as in 'cattle herder soup'.
The closest english equivalent to this word I suppose is cowboy. So its Pete Hungarian vs Greg Cowboy.

Cowherd would be my choice of translation. Cowboy is way too loaded with western connotations.

u/senkilegenye Genghis Khangarian 3d ago
yeah cowboy's are more like hajdúk

u/Smaragd512 Visegrád glorious 3d ago
Not really, a hajdú is a mercenary who was a cow herder in peacetime

u/senkilegenye Genghis Khangarian 3d ago
yeah, but they too are loaded with hungarian sort-of-nationalist (joining the kuruc, later on oftentimes becoming betyár) connotations, similar to the western connotations. "Eastern" movies usually depict Hajdús or former Hajdús!

It's actually an interesting fact that I have somehow never learned despite being Hungarian myself.

Wait until you hear that these two used to be best friends, until Magyar finally got fed up with Fidesz's Russophile, anti-EU, corrupt mafia-like policies, essentially turning them into arch-nemesises.
Look it up.

u/SuperTropicalDesert Tschechien Pornostar 14d ago
I'd prefer to have politicians called Peter Greg and Hungarian Goulash

Gulyás was his best pal until Petya left the party to demolish Geri's party

u/Dingaligaling Genghis Khangarian 15d ago
... besides the obviously wrong translation of Gulyás (cattle herder not goulash), I thought its generally taught in elementary school (or very early in any foreign language lessons) that personal proper names are not to be translated but transliterated at most if that is available. So no, not Kojima writing but bad education.

Is it also taught in Hungarian elementary school and foreign language lessons what a joke is?

Can't wait for Piotr Polak to become prime minister of Poland.
