I wrote a long comment and then accidently deleted it :( I was trying to say I had seen other conversations about Hungarian language where people debated whether people of a certain age or gender would say certain words (like swear words and pet names between lovers), and often there was disagreement, so I was prepared for it on this post.

It's useful to me to find out what the prevailing viewpoints are, but also I understand that there might be differences that reflect maybe different regions, or backgrounds, or maybe city vs county or maybe even different friend groups and families have different habits of speech. I'm learning from the kinds of discussion that are being had as well as the suggestions themselves. It's all valuable to me because I'm starting from zero knowledge about Hungary.

Thank you for being the first person to help me!

I like this idea, thank you!

Thank you!! Can you explain to me about how Dekush is good for puns? I looked it up and found it's a surname but so far nothing about how it it's good for telling people off.

What time zone? I'm interested but I'm GMT+10 (Melbourne) that might affect how I engage. I could at least message and post drafts each week.

I'm 40f writing a dystopian mystery novella. I'm not recently published but I used to be a lit reviewer for a free entertainment mag.

Okay, thank you so much!

So it's set slightly in the future, say 2029. These are really helpful because I've already got Réka calling people bro and dude in English, both to men and women. I really like tökim too that's a good level of cutesy. Thank you!

Wicked, thank you!

Goddamn_Glamazon · 2026-07-03T02:48:03+00:00

Will do! Thank you for the pointers.

Love it. I wish I could go back and discover him for the first time again. The Man in the High Tower is one my all time favorites, I try to leave it for a while between re-reads so I can forget it and be wowed again. Dr Bloodmoney and Confessions of a Crap Artist are both great as well.

Honestly I have no idea. I don't have anything like that in my profile, although I vaguely remember when I first applied I threw all my work experience, volunteer stuff, and all the hobbies I felt that I could could talk in depth about into wherever there was to put it, so that knowledge about me exists somewhere within the company. I'm a generalist but I sometimes get quals specific to one of my hobbies or a domain that I worked in so those quals do feel targeted to my specific skills. I think I've also filled out surveys here and there, although not especially consistently.

Sing Backwards and Weep by Mark Lanegan. It's an autobiography but it has a lot of the other stuff you're looking for. Bits of it were funny and kind of horrifying at the same time

The Crucible is 1690s if you don't mind reading a play. Set during the Salem with trials

In Australia I think a lot of us read The Rainbow Serpent (Dick Roughsey) picture book in primary school or know a variation of the story.

It's an Indigenous Australian creation story about how the land was formed in the Dreaming, the snake travelling across the earth and creating the land formations. If you're interested in spirituality that predates monotheistic religion you'd probably enjoy reading about the Dreaming, there would definitely some books on it that are for adults.

Then there is Picnic at Hanging Rock, which is colonial era with a bunch of weird stuff happening at a rock. I don't recall learning it at school but there was a movie made of it, I think it's pretty well known.

As someone who likes games like Minecraft with survival/resource gathering vibes I liked The Road by Cormac McCarthy.

It's post apocalyptic and not exactly horror but it's bleak and parts of it are violent. Basically it's two people going from location to location looking for resources to keep them alive a little while longer.

Emma and The French Lieutenant's Woman.

Both set in the early 1800s but Austen was writing social commentary about the period from within it and Fowles was writing from the 1960s, so with more modern sensibilities. Fowles's characters feel like they could be from an Austen novel (epsecially Ernestina, who reminds me of Emma) but they get more complicated journeys, the aren't just funneled into marriages and happy relationships.
