Niceee :) The Slovakian term is actually "egreš". Very close again :) Looks like all Slavic languages have similar words for fruits :) It´s becoming some serious linguistic research what we are doing here haha :D

This is indeed interesting and as you say, a serious linguistic research, however, I have to disappoint you 😁

Hungarian is not a Slavic language. It's Finno-Ugric 😏

Hungarian is a member of the Uralic language family. Linguistic connections between Hungarian and other Uralic languages were noticed in the 1670s, and the family itself (then called Finno-Ugric) was established in 1717. Hungarian has traditionally been assigned to the Ugric branch within the Finno-Ugric group, along with the Mansi and Khanty languages of western Siberia (Khanty–Mansia region), but it is no longer clear that it is a valid group. source

Yeah, I actually know it :) It has been stuck in my memory somehow since as early as the elementary school where we were taught that Hungarian is "ugrofinský jazyk" :) So I better conclude this linguistic research by stating that "most Slavic languages and the Hungarian language seem to use similar terms for fruits" :)
