What is the Hungarian word for drape?

July 21, 2016

Drapéria. But it is used for free-hanging stuff, not for curtains. :)

I think in the context you're referring to, it's függöny. I'm reporting it.

In American English, saying 'drapes' instead of 'curtains' used to be a mark of lower social status. I don't know if that is still true.

Just a curiosity for those with some German knowledge: in certain Hungarian dialects there exists a word "firhang", from the German (r Vorhang).
