1. There's a Hungarian proverb: "Akinek nem INGE, ne vegye magára", the English equivalent of which is "If the cap / shoe fits wear it". What article of clothing is mentioned in the Hungarian version?
From Quiz Inge by Inge (Punny You Should Say That)
Answer:
Shirt
"Ing" means "shirt" in Hungarian. The proverb literally means: "If the shirt doesn't fit don't wear it". Precisely, "ing" is shirt, "inge" is genitive case, a noun case used to show possession, meaning "the shirt of somebody".
The genitive case is used in Albanian, Arabic, Armenian, Basque, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, Georgian, German, Greek, Gothic, Hungarian, Icelandic, Irish, Latin, Latvian, Lithuanian, Romanian, Sanskrit, Scottish Gaelic, Swedish, Kannada, Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, Turkish and all Slavic languages except Macedonian.
The (modern) English language uses the possessive case rather than genitive.
