Van egy kutyám, Ottó. Ottó már nagyon öreg, de nem tudjuk, hány éves. Ottót nem vettük, hanem találtuk. Nagyon érdekes sztori. A barátom, Edvárd nagyon akart egy kutyát. Egy magyar vizslát. Az egyik kollégája pedig galambokat akart venni. Az interneten keresett eladó galambokat. És volt egy hirdetés: magyar vizsla a Galamb utcában, Hajdúsámsonban. Hajdúsámson egy kisváros, Debrecen mellett. A barátom, Edvárd kocsival elment Hajdúsámsonba, február nyolcadikán. Ez volt az a nap, amikor lett egy kutyánk. Ez tíz éve történt.
Ottó nagyon jó kutya, na gyon szeretem. Sőt, nem szeretem, imádom! Ő a legjobb barátom, mindenem. Mindennap együtt sétálunk. Sok kalandunk volt már.
És miért Ottó a neve? Ez is érdekes.
A barátom biológus, a kedvenc állata a viperák. Volt egy magyar biológus, akit Hermann Ottónak hívtak. Hermann Ottónak is voltak kutyái. Ők is magyar vizslák voltak. És ezek a vizslák találtak először viperát Magyarországon. Sajnos nem tudjuk, mi volt Hermann Ottó vizsláinak a neve, ezért lett Ottó.
És most kérdezed, hogy Ottó talált már viperát? Igen, Ottó tud viperát találni. Amikor lát egy viperát, megáll, egyik lábát felemeli, és nem csinál semmit, csak csendben vár. Erre mondják, hogy “állja a vadat”. Az állja a vadat egy kifejezés, idióma. Azt jelenti, to point.
Sajnos az baj, hogy Ottó csak akkor talál viperát, amikor akar. Nem lehet kérni, nem szeret dolgozni. Ő csak játszik és szaladgál. 
Ezért van egy másik kutyánk, Tomi. Tomi dolgozik, ő egy munkakutya. De ez már egy másik sztori. →

In this episode, we explore the subtle but important difference between the Italian verbs "parlare" and "dire". While both verbs can be translated as "to speak" or "to say", they have distinct meanings and usage.

Difference between Parlare and Dire

If you're doing online dating in the English-speaking world, you might see people talking about their "icks."

This is a slang word — icks are things that give you "a sudden feeling that you dislike someone" or are no longer attracted to them, according to the Cambridge Dictionary.

Icks are not always really big things. Being rude to an employee at a store, for example, might be an ick for someone, or eating with your mouth open.

People will often say they "got the ick" when they noticed something about a person that made them feel they were no longer attracted to them.

If they get to that point, it may be hard for them to feel attracted again!

If you're looking through dating profiles on an app, the most common ick is people who are negative or bitter.

That's according to a survey for Forbes Health. One thousand Americans who had used a dating app in the last year were asked about their dating habits.

And about 70% said people who are negative or bitter in their bios, perhaps about a previous relationship, give them the ick.

Other common icks include people with edited photos, people who are too interested in their possessions, and people with bad spelling or grammar.

And when using the apps, daters often make their decisions quite quickly.

According to the survey, the average person takes about two-and-a-half minutes to make a decision about whether they like a person or not.

So what makes daters attractive to others? Having a profile that shows a good sense of humor is a good thing, according to 80% of people.

The same number said they like people who have hobbies and interests, while many others like people who are interested in travel — or who show a pet in their photo!
