Hungarian word ‘puszi’ pronounced ˈpusi’ is this foreign star’s dearest

The meaning of this Hungarian word is simple: a light kiss (e.g. peck on the cheek). Nevertheless, it is the favourite Hungarian word of a world-famous Croatian musician.

According to Blikk, Stjepan Hauser, a well-known Croatian cellist, joined the judges of the Virtuosos V4+ last year. The classical music contest can be entered by contestants from the V4 countries (Hungary, Slovakia, Czechia and Poland) and Slovenia.  

The show’s classical music talents (instrumentalists can apply up until the age of 18, singers up until 24 yrs old) have the chance to perform with world stars, buy instruments and take masterclasses through the Young Virtuosos Foundation and its sponsors. The competition has a total prize fund of €100,000, which will award one winner per country. Furthermore, there are audience prizes and special prizes, virtuosos.com writes.
