Did you know?
- In Hungarian, the word ország is derived from an old word meaning 'boundary' or 'border', suggesting a 'country' is defined by its limits.
- The term Orosz is historically linked to the 'Rus' people, but in many other Slavic languages, the word for 'Russian' actually sounds more like 'white' or 'bright'.
- Because Hungarian uses agglutination, the word Oroszország can grow much longer to mean 'from Russia' or 'in Russia' by adding suffixes to the end of the word.
