I’ve noticed that often when we take the visiting GV (Global Village) teams out to restaurants for dinner that are very few if any local folks there. As it happens, dining out is quite expensive relative to the local economy, and thus a rarity. In its stead there are several “pubs” that serve beverages and drinks rather than food, and in fact are not licensed to serve food, versus the other way ‘round. Interesting. I’ve often wondered how much the visiting teams do for the local economy, as /they certainly support restaurateurs in their time here…
One location that does rousing business for both our teams and local residents is Regimodi, a traditional Hungarian restaurant with family seating and a self-serve operation for ordering, picking up your food, and bussing your dishes…a great way to provide hearty meals at low cost. With indoor and outdoor seating (several restaurants have this capability here) and a playground for the kids, they’ve created an atmosphere for all ages.
Vocabulary…
Kerek (care-wreck)= Please or “I would like”
Kosonom (keer-so-nome) = Thank you
Szivesen (see-vi-shen) = You’re welcome
Viz (veez) = Water
Kerek vizat = I would like water please
Menyi (men-ye) = How much
Hol (hole) = Where
Mikor (me-core) = When
Egeszsegedre (egg-eh-sheg-eh-dreh) = To your health
Fa (fah) = wood
Fal (fall) = wall
Padlo (pah-d-low) = floor
Note: Many of the vowels in these Hungarian words have additional symbols above them to cue you as to their sound that are not available on my computer or by download, but the phonetics will give you an idea of how they sound and what I hear!
