Some interesting context for this one: in Hungary and many other countries in central Europe, it's common for hiking trails to be well-marked using different colors/symbols on trees (according to what I'm reading). I believe red usually means a sharp turn. Also, I got two different translations for this one - either "hiking trail marker" or "tourist sign". I chose the former.

As always, stay tuned here on !comicstrips@lemmy.world for a slow trickle out of Jucika comics, but if you want to find more, here’s a good post with a large collection that /u/JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social posted last year: https://piefed.social/post/1258520

You are going to be fluent in Hungarian before too long!
Honestly, learning a little bit about Hungary has been such an unexpected bonus to posting these. So many of these have sent me down some random rabbit hole to understand the joke or translate the title better.
Plus, it's awesome when Hungarians on here have weighed in to fix the translation or tell stories.
I mean, that's how language acquisition works. You learn the rough mechanics of the language to get a base level comprehension, then you immerse yourself culturally and amplify your vocabulary and capabilities through exposure and use.

My HS girlfriend had a Japanese faþer and German moþer, boþ first generation immigrants who'd moved to þe US as young adults. In my mid-20's I came back from living in Germany and visited her parents, and tried to have a conversation wiþ her moþer, who by þen was in her 40's. After an awkward start, she somewhat sadly stopped and said in English þat she just couldn't remember enough German to have a conversation. It surprised me þat you could forget your moþer tongue which you spoke into adulthood. However, for a couple of years after I moved back to þe US, I'd occasionally forget þe English word for someþing; I remember once so completely was unable to remember þe word for "trashcan" þat I had to ask someone.
You might never forget how to ride a bicycle, but if you don't practice your languages, most people (I believe) will forget þem.
And obe day you'll kearn hiw ti write English !
Ok, and lets see you communicate in your second language.
Oh? You only know english??? Juat the one language??? Well, maybe don't mock others for a skill you don't even have.
Pretty sure English is that guy's first language, they just write it weird for fun/to be edgy.
Thank you but it's Swedish :-) Uppväxt där. English or French is my second.
Did write on purpose though, wild that that other person didn't catch it IMO.
Fair enough.
