It would be more interesting if the author of this article explained expressions such as farsang vasárnap and Farsang Temetés.--tequendamia 12:47, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
So, what or who is "Farsang"? Elphion (talk) 06:01, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
and "Busó"? Elphion (talk) 06:48, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
Farsang is the carnival season, period starting after Epiphany (holiday) that continues through the shrove-tide (the last three days before ash wednesday). I looked up farsang, and it just translated to english as "shrove-tide," but when I translated "shrove-tide" back into hungarian, it said "the last three days of farsang." Then again, Shrovetide#Great_Britain describe shrovetide as the whole season prior to lent... similar to the concept of farsang. Busos are those scary monsters pictured in the article. - TheMightyQuill (talk) 17:38, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
