In Hungarian the word 'baka' means 'soldier' in slang.
We usually use this word for young soldiers, who just joined to the military.

This is funny, I think. We in Hungarian usually play our language, and in Japanese there are any word which pronunciation is the same like one of our words.
Other examples, there is a Japanese name 'Shou' (for example in the alice nine), and if you say it out, the pronunciation is the same like our word for salt. (in Hungarian: só)

The other word, I think you know that Japanese word: seme
Now, if you say this out loud, in Hungarian it's sound like 'someone's eyes'.
And we have a special phrase in Hungarian about eyes, and if somebody know the meaning of the Japanese 'seme' this phrase's meaning become a bit...funny and somehow nasty.
So we usually laugh a lot because of these.
