"even living without basic necesities is better than living under turkish rule". I absolutely love this sentence

Ngl your hungarian pronunciation is actually pretty good. Im glad that you are back, thank you for another video of my country

"I want to go to Rio and see the Carnival" "We got carnival at home" Carnival at home:

I’m Hungarian living in the USA, your videos are a perfect way to feed my homesickness. But I love your videos and I applaud your pronunciation.

Honestly, I kind of understand the Turks. Imagine you're a Turkish soldier from back in the day (I'm sorry). The most advanced technology you have access to is, at best, gunpowder. This is the first time in your life you've ever been more than 50 kilometers from your home village. It's a dark, cold and misty night, in a foreign country you know next to nothing about. And then hundreds of THESE THINGS charge at you from the mist, screaming and waving clubs, torches and pitchforks at you. I'd shit my pants, and I'm not even ashamed to admit it!

"While in real life, one would question the purpose of women"- That's definitely the quote ever.

I love it when people can properly pronounce Budapest.

Fun fact: Pálinka can only be called pálinka if the fruit it was made out of was grown in Hungary and if it was distilled and bottled in Hungary. If it was grown, distilled or bottled abroad, it's not pálinka.

this Bosnian dude talks more about Hungary then our politicians do.

I really love the connection between croats and hungarians. Love you, brothers! 🇭🇷❤️🇭🇺

I remember when I was a little kid, my great grandfather flew all the way to the states from Hungary to teach me about this holiday and what little of the Hungarian language he could force into my head at the time. Of course I thought he was a giant monster and ran under the coffee table and stayed there until he took the mask off. Good times.

“Americans suffering with a superiority complex, or what I like to call them: Canadians” This is a certified hood classic, my guy 🙌

"Why Hungary Celebrates the Weirdest Holiday" I have never been more offended, by something i absolutely agree with.

Love Hungary

I'm a Hungarian living in Switzerland and though as a Hungarian I obviously believe this is the superior tradition, it reminds me of the swiss tradition called "Fassnacht" where the streets are full with people wearing scary or sometimes goofy paper-machet masks. Instead of feathers they throw around a bunch of tiny confetti, seeds or sweets. The biggest difference in my opinion is that the swiss play loud music while walking and throwing confetti

One of my best long-time friends is Hungarian and I love their unique and rich history and interesting, intriguing language. We often joke that our flags are almost the same and have so many similarities even though it doesn't seem so at the first glance. Nice video, man. Warm greetings from Bulgaria.

0:41 - that huge curtain of our border...made may day Greetings from Szeged!

In fact, it is very similar to the traditional Slavic Carnivals, which is known by various names in Serbia, Croatia, Bulgaria, Russia, Poland ect., "poklade, proćka, maslenica, mesopust, pust....". So it is not weird for us Slavs. It kind of symbolizes the victory of light over darkness (the coming of spring), it is intended to scare away evil spirits and chase away winter.

"Hungary" and "weird" in a single sentence? Why am I not suprised? Also, glad to see you're back.

The return of the king! Very nice to have you back!

04:19 That absolute gigachad carried a stick with a decapitated Ottoman head impaled on it

In Bulgaria we also have a very similar holiday as yours, ifs called Kukeri its to scare the bad demons away.

Wow János your Hungarian pronunciation was so good one would almost think youre a native speaker, hope youre doing all right :)

There is a same holiday celebrated in some parts of Croatia. It really is an old pagan, scaring away the winter kind of tradition that survived in some parts of the world still and changed its meaning as time passed. In Rijeka, Croatia you even have a festival where all Bushos from different parts of the world come together. Every country, even every village has unique masks and it's pretty cool thing to see. I went there once.

Im American, but my dad is Hungarian so I love learning about my ancestral history and culture. Very cool holiday. Its making me wonder if my dad ever celebrated it

Szia János! Ha akarsz egy kis mediterránt, és gazdag kulturális programokat (akár szerbül/horvátul is!) Akkor érdemes egy-két napot eltölteni Pécsen és Szentendrén is.

Thanks for basically making a video about my hometown and its tradition. Greetings from Hungary and Mohács. :D

This reminds me a holiday that we have in the Basque Country, more specifically in Zubieta, Navarre. Its called "iñauteriak", the use of sheep wool dresses is very similar but here people do things that they wouldnt do in any other day, its a day to go "feral" or primitive. i went when i was on secondary in school trip and it was quite a thing.

Thanks for making this video! Being a hungarian, I have never actually heard about this tradition. It is truly an honor, that someone decides to spend time and effort to learn hungarian, and to learn about the culture, history.

It's good to see that some people don't just see Budapest as Hungary. Sadly nearly all big Hungarian cities were lost after Trianon but I'm happy with what we got. Hope you had a good time visiting Mohács! ♥️

Very nice! We have a very similar holiday in Northen Maramureș-Romania. Much respect towards our Hungarian brothers and friends!

As a Bulgarian, i find this video relatable.

Yay! My favourite Serb whose ancestors are Bosnians are finally back to do some more research on the Finno-Ugric people of Magyar! As I said to you earlier when you made your announcement to take a break from KZfaq so are you more than welcome to fly over from Serbia to Sweden and be your personal guide when you make your potential video called "I'VE BEEN TO SWEDEN SO YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO" so you can review my country based on your own experiences and tastes! You can consider to do this kind of endeavour in about next or two years and so. I'm happy that you're finally back with full mental health and I look forward to more of your future videos! -Alexander Svante Christophe Bäck

I'm a new subscriber and I really love your channel. Keep up the great videos!

Glad to see you back from you break brother, hope you’re in a better mental state and doing good

As a Canadian, your charactarization of us is 99% correct.

in sweden we have a weird trafition were we dance around a giant leaf-pole and protent to be frogs, not kiding. Its called 'midsommar' which means mid summer

Very awsome holliday with an awsome story behind it ! Greetings from your romanian neighbours !

This is a real European tradition from the defenders of Europe.

More videos about Hungary pls. And may I ask, what is that intro song ?

Reminds me of the Kurentovanje in Slovenia. Though the intent of celebration is different, since Kurentovanje is connected with the arrival of spring, and not scaring the Turks away.

I actually love the fact you included the Rem meme poster.

Thanks for doing this video! I do not live in hungary since I am 3 years old and no one tought me this before so good to learn about my country

we also have a similar tradition here in morocco called "herma taysh taysh", it's a pre-islamic tradition that has slightly adapted to Islam as it usually happens in the evening of eid adha (the day muslims kill sheep and make barbeque out of them). during which 1 or 2 persons from a neighbourhood/village wears the skin of the slaughtered sheep and goes around causing mischief and the children follow him chanting "herma taysh taysh, herma bou lhlayss" which roughly translates to "herma is being a tyrant being a tyrant, herma the master of mischief", I don't know the story or the origin of this tradition, all I know is that it's pre-islamic and that the natives of the canaries island (whom happen to be berbers, same as morocco) have a similar tradition.

Native Hungarian here. These videos are hilarious, and spot on. I wonder where is this dude from? 😀

I'm Hungarian, I loved this video! I really like your channel, keep on going! 💗💜💙

Welcome back LIE, been missing your videos in my feed. I feel lost without the essential -̶b̶o̶s̶n̶i̶a̶n̶-̶ Serbian perspective, good to see your stuff again

The legend is back

Nice! You could make a video about Betyárs if you want (and if you haven't made already). Quite some badass part of our history.

I am happy to see you again pal! Thanks for your videos

This holiday kind of looks like Slovenian holiday "pust". The main character of the holiday is "kurent" and it has a similar look to buso. It's a pagan holiday and there is also the aspect of welcoming spring.

Welcome back my favorite bosnian youtuber 🇧🇦❤

The video and the informations are spot on! Well done! Szép munka! ;)

Nice to see you back, hope you are feeling better! ❤️

Wow this is really awesome! I’ve been admiring Europe from afar for so long, I can’t wait to go there someday. Best love from USA 🇺🇸 💕

Thank you for another video about Hungary! 🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺

Welcome back my friend! Greatings from south-Hungary!

Glad you’re back hope you’re enjoying making content again

in Kvarner Croatia we have something similar we call them bell ringers or in croatian zvončari

Also is Hungary the only one who does that, the boys pour down the girls with cold water at Easter? (Like an ice bucket challenge)

Joining to those before me, your Hungarian pronunciation is really good! I know you've been learning our language, and for that, I commend you and huge respect, keep it up! :D Also, thanks for another video on our c(o)untry! XD

Nice video! I live in Hungary, but even I didn't known about the existence of this holiday! Bless the KZfaq recommendation page!

Thanks for this uplifting video at the times when it's a real shame to be a Hungarian. It reminded me that despite everything, we still have positive values and culture. OMG the poster at 1:57 - is that real? :o

The japanese has a similar tradition called 'Namahage' in Akita just with different reasoning, to discipline their children. Their costume looks similar(They are demons too) as well if you look it up.

Ngl i forgot this thing exists lol, i vaguely recall seeing pics of it back in elementary history books. Your hungarian pronounciation is awesome btw, great vid

Im a hungarian but i didn't knew this but its funny lol. Would love to see more content about Hungary. The edits are top quality 😎💥

Pozdrawiam Węgierskich Braci , Polak Węgier dwa bratanki !!!!!!

Im gonna be honest I only watch this channel because videos about hungary and poland. However I liked the video you made about transilvania and the roman-hungarian conflict. As a hungarian I really want this stupid shit to end. I honestly dont hate romanians at all (obviously there are assholes there but its true with every country. There are idiots everywhere)

You have great pronunciation, I deeply appreciate the effort :)

Great video! I am moving over to Hungary so will defo check it out next year. We have a weird holiday here in Ireland called Wren day. where boys would kill a wren bird (not nowadays) hang it on a pole and celebrate down the street while people would also dress up in hay while doing this. Should check it out.

Romania has something similar, it only begins during the winter holidays, we dress up like horror game npc's

FYI 1:58 It says - "One-chan, did you know that gypsies are making up 9% of the population, but still commit 2/3 of all crime? " - "But thats an enormous over representation" - "Yes, it is One-chan"

Good video. I hope you make more videos about Hungary. ;)

I've always thought our British holiday of Guy Fawkes night is pretty funny. It celebrates the foiling of a plot to blow up king James the 1st . One of the men behind the "gunpowder" plot was a man named Guy Fawkes, he and his close friends were Catholic and were upset with the Protestant King, the plan was foiled and they were arrested, Guy was tortured to death, everything remained the same. So every year on the 5th of November we burn an effigy or scarecrow of Guy Fawkes and set off fireworks, its nickname is "bonfire night".

Maybe do a vid about Poland

Fun fact: Magyarország az egyetlen ország ami önmagával határos

The way that you used Kárpátia’s music video is pretty great

Im from hungary, and your pronunciation is really good! Keep it up!

(i m 1) i m Hungarian űdvözlet 🇭🇺

I am form Austria and this tradition reminds me off our tradition called "Perchtenlauf" its pretty much the same but with scarrier masks.

I live in Hungary 🇭🇺 and I think this video was amazing I can promote Sopron to be talked about next, its a beautiful town As well. It has lots of history burried in it. (Also Happy New Year)

I'm Hungarian and it was fun for me to see how other peoples see the country where i live. I really like the video!

I remember going to these as a kid and now a few years back seeing photos of the same thing being done in the surrounding slavic nations. It makes me wonder whether it's our usual arrogance calling it an OG Hungarian thing (like goulash, which is also cooked all around central and eastern europe so possibly has a different origin/it belongs to ALL of us). Oh well, vannak jó gyerekkori emlékeim busójárásról.

I wanna experience that holiday Only if i could go to Hungary

Your pronunciation is actually top notch well done

These comment sections are always so wholesome, love these videos

This holiday just seems like a really calmed down version of our bulgarian kukers. The kukers really are just more fun. They are just like the hungarian knock-offs but they dance and throw around big bells. Their dancing is complimented by large drums and traditional bulgarian music. They really make a spectical!

My favourite bosnian is back ❤️❤️

I'm from a small village next to Mohács called Lánycsók and this video made me really happy :)

Nice to have you back

Busójárás is just a medieval furry festival.

János im hereeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Finally a chanel here that makes of our country content that is actually not bad God bless you

Thanks for the material for my graduate project man

bro is teaching hungarian culture to hungarians 💀💀

kihagytad azt a részletet hogy anno a busók géppuskákkal meg gránátokkal kergették el a törököket. :)

Oh, you have Krampüs costumes too in Hungary, that's so amazing !

Hey! Happy you're back.
