    oh,… Mitnagid!
    “jews are the plague of Hungary”. Isn’t it what the hungarians are saying? You sound just like those racists.

  • Please explain something

    This may be unrelated, but being Hungarian or Romanian may help. The Chasidim(Satmar) say that Satu Mare means “S. Mary.” But the Romanians say no, means “Big Village.” Does anyone know why? What did it mean when it belonged to Hungary(until 1920)?

    #12,I don’t know the etimology of the name of the town;I only know its real name is Szatmàr and Romanians stole it from Hungary and now call it Satu Mare.
    But ask any Satmar even nowadays if they originate from Romania or Hungary and everyone of them will tell you they come from Hungary;they are a living proof of the theft the Romanians did against Hungary!

    To 13: Thanks.
    Okay, so what does Szatmar mean? The only history I could find was that it may be after the name of a family or individual. If it was “S. Mary,” I would think that this would certainly be mentioned. Probably, a faulty etymological assumption because of similar root letters in both terms.

    Why am I so interested in this? Because, if the Hungarians got it wrong – okay, what can you expect from Goyim? But, if the Yidden got it wrong, what other misinformation and legends are we being fed?

  • Also from WIki

    The original Hungarian name of the town of origin was Szatmár. The name appeared at first in a document written in 1213 in the form “Zotmar”. Originally it was derived from a personal name. The Romanian name was first Sǎtmar, differing only in orthography from the Hungarian one, but in 1925 was officially changed to Satu Mare. That version means “large village”, with the Romanian Satu (“village”) deriving from the Latin fossatum, while Mare means “large” in Romanian.[citation needed]
    There is a well known folk etymology, repeated both among members of Satmar itself and in outside literature about the group, that Satu Mare actually meant “Saint Mary.”[citation needed] Many Hasidim, occasionally including Rebbe Yoel Teitelbaum himself, referred to the town as “Sakmar” to avoid use of its allegedly “pagan” name. The folk story notwithstanding, the vast majority of Hasidim now use the original Hungarian name “Satmar”.

    To 15:

    But did I pick on just Goyim? Wasn’t I also critical of Yidden, if they promote misinformation?
