Definitely not German. I'm Polish and I know the basics of a handful of other European languages, but I don't recognize that. Fairly certain it's Hungarian though, from all the accented a's.


edit: yeah, it's Hungarian. Translation-guide.com confirmed my suspicion, but couldn't properly translate it. Perhaps it's slang or a language-specific phrase? It gave me "Drive háziállatának his name".

It's Hungarian. "Elso" means first, "neve" means his or her name. I don't know exactly what "háziállatának"means, but it probablyhas something to do with animals, possibly wild animals, as the similar word"háziállatok" means pets or domesticated animals.

I actually tried 2 different translator sites. I was getting no where and I realize that the reason is because Hungarian wasn't even an option. Thats why I decided to ask here.

I found this thread when Googling "Első háziállatának neve." Yes, I know this thread is almost 2 years old, but it's the first result in Google for that phrase, so I figure it needs an answer!

"Első háziállatának neve"
means
"What was the name of your first pet?"



It's important to understand the context. I don't speak a word of Hungarian, but someone mentioned "name" and "animal" in this thread. Since I encountered the phrase in Hotmail's password recovery, it's instantly obvious it's a common password recovery question: what was the name of your first pet?

Hope this helps someone out there in the future who is trying to crack a Hungarian's account haha.
