How to read country names in Hungarian: Remove the accents, replace SZ with S, remove ország from the end (it means country) and usually you get something similar to English or the native name of the country.

“Irregular” ones:

  • Görögország - Greece
  • Lengyelország - Poland
  • Olaszország - Italy
  • Németország - Germany
