I was reading somewhere that Hungarians have a similar saying to our "no use crying over spilt milk." It is, "more was lost at Mohacs." I'm not sure the history but I think it dates back to the 1500s and must have been referring to some battle...I asked my English Honors advisor, who is Hungarian, and she said it is pronounced "
Mohahtsh," with the accent of the first syllable, and that it is a saying that symbolizes Hungarian optimism.
