Hi,
I was wondering about the actual meaning of words “kar” and “kéz”. I understand that it means “arm” and “hand” respectively with the same meaning it has in English language (if I’m not mistaking).
However, in the northern part of Serbia Hungarians almost always use word “kéz” for both arm and hand, except when they want to explicitly denote that it is a whole arm. I was wondering if that is also the case in the proper Hungarian or is it just the case in some of the surrounding countries?
Thank you for this list and thank you in advance for taking time.

Hi there,
In the proper Hungarian kar is arm and kéz is hand, as you said. Their meaning is always separated in the Hungarian mind. There can be regional differences in the areas where Hungarian people are in minority and developed a “local Hungarian language”.

Hi David,
I have the same situation with some people from Transilvania. They have the word “kar”, but they usually use “kez” refering to the arm. Later in spanish they often use the word “pie” (foot) instead of “pierna” (leg) to say something about the leg. But anyway, that’s logic as they use only “lab” for both concepts.

Hi,
I just want to add that the Hungarian word for ‘foot’ is ‘lábfej’ (literally: leghead) and for ‘leg’ we simply use ‘láb’.
