"Ma kicsi vagyok."

Translation: I am small today.

Lol. It's like that! :P

[SigurdS]

Is this some reference or just a funny sentence?

[DavidMcEac]

I went to an ice-hockey match in Budapest a while back and every time Hungary scored, they played a catchy song which had 'kicsi vagyyok' as part of the chorus. I guess that's where this comes from!

[SigurdS]

Interesting - thanks!

[Egon334811]

Never heard it before, so it's probably just a funny, random sentence. :)

[airminer]

I think it is in some kindergarten-poems.

[SigurdS]

Thanks :)

[IanWitham1]

This sentence reminded me of "White Rabbit" by Jefferson Airplane.

2 song, with lyrics

"Kicsi vagyok.
Kicsi vagyok,
Ha megnövök
Beléd rúgok."

"A gatyámba nézve látom, kicsi vagyok."

:)

[monteirorogerio5]

Why cannot it be "little" too?

[HeruMornie]

Report it, it should be accepted IMHO.

[monteirorogerio5]

Thank you very much!

This should be corrected:

English-Hungarian dictionary
little adj USA: lɪ'tʌ·l UK: lɪtl
kicsi, kicsi, kevés, apró, csekély, csekély mértékben, egy kicsit, gyenge, kevés, sékicsiny, kicsinyes, kis, kis mennyiségű, nem sok, pici, silány

Many a little makes a mickle. Sok kicsi sokra megy.

[AAndrovics]

This sentence doesn't make sense to me.

[HeruMornie]

"Néha, amikor minden sikerül, óriásnak érzem magam. Ma semmi sem megy igazán. Ma kicsi vagyok."
Anyway, it could be a kindergarten ditty, too, as it mentioned above.

[AAndrovics]

WOW!!! Thank you very much for replaying. Poetic sentence to translate what I thought wasn't great!!! Just for the record, I am just a learner of Hungarian language. My surname (Androvics) is from my fathers' name, but I am brazilian. Can't wait to be able to understand this beautiful language. :-)

[HeruMornie]

Take a lingot then :D Did you resolved the story, right? If there is something that I can help you in it, just send me a reply. ;)

On your name: Androvics sounds like a Southern Slavic name, but they are very common in Hungary, and the ortography with the "cs" is a typical Hungarian rendering. The history of the Carpathian Basin makes it a real melting pot and I think there is no "clear" Hungarian blood line here... My family name has a Czech origin though my ancestors' first mention occured in a Royal Decree in 1249... So I think the name origin doesn't mean too much 'round here :D

[AAndrovics]

Interisting!!!! Thanks again. Take a lingot as a gift for such kindness of yours. Take care.

Is this Alice in Wonderland?

[lenoor]

strange

[HeruMornie]

What, this one? You never saw me, then :D

[TonyWare1]

I dont suppose it could mean " i feel small today" ive done something bad

[vampire-hobbit]

Ahem... CG/l lifestyle appropriate? Lol... (sorry, not sorry)

[warrcamp93]

Could this relate in terms of a person's weight? Sort of like "I am feeling skinny today" in English.

[grixi774]

well i guess at least the idea of this sentence is to be somewhat silly. im not hungarian myself, maybe youre indeed correct, but its almost certainly not the point of this sentence here.

[EdgarKozem]

As far as I understand it is a mistake and should be just "I am small" there is not today there.
Or am wrong?
