Partly P: diacritical signs

[János Székely]

Laura, this is a paralinguistic joke. Finnish and Hungarian are
related but about as close as Bengali to Gaelic. So they don't
resemble each other at all (apart from "vowel harmony" and some
grammatic features), and most people just can't grab the basics of
comparative linguistics anyway. But still it is taught in schools. So
this bunch of schoolkids supplied a "proof", taking this Nightwish
song (in Finnish) and "understanding" it as if it were Hungarian, with
nonsensical sentences like "Kell ránk vaj" ("We need butter on
ourselves" - hope this is not RTF) or "Ó Jani, sok szöszi" (O Johnny,
so many blondies). Etc.
