Definition

A Hungarian language trap that teaches foreigners an important lesson about context and homonyms. While literally translating to 'I am hot,' the word 'meleg' also means gay, so you'll accidentally come out of the closet instead of complaining about the weather. The correct phrase for temperature discomfort is 'melegem van.' Language learning: where one wrong word changes everything.

Example Usage

The tourist wanted to say he was overheated but said 'meleg vagyok' instead, leading to some very confused looks from locals.
