Does anyone speak Hungarian?

[TZ-OH6]

I'm growing Etkezi Paprika and have been trying to find a translation for 'etkezi'. Google gives me a couple of hits on hungarian websites with the word being used in text but the translation program skips it as does the online Hungarian to English dictionary programs. Any help would be appreciated.

don't speak Hungarian, but lived in the former Czechoslovakia for a couple of years, part of which borders Hundary and I think etkezi means something like "dining" or "dining room", but I could be entirely wrong.

I emailed a friend to check the translation and am expecting an answer...will post when I get it. That is if somebody doesn't beat me to the translation...lol.

Here's what I got in response from my friend who is Hungarian born and fluent:

The root of this word I suspect is “étkezés” which means “eating”. Therefore, “etkezi” may mean a paprika for eating, as opposed to processing into the spice, paprika.

Hope that helps.

Thanks guys! It came to me as someone's favorite so I'm looking forward to it. It is producing pretty well compared to other eating peppers in the garden.
