Thank You for this video! Pécs is my beloved hometown, where I was born 53 years ago and have been living ever since. 🤩

Pecs in Roman times was the capital of Pannonia and called Sopianae. It is a magic place. Population 170'000.

As a hungarian, I thank You for this superb video! The pronunciation of Pécs is like: "Peich", the ending letter is like the beginning of the word "child."

Should be pronounced as Pech and not as Pex. Your perception of Pécs being a very small town is not quite accurate. Actually it is the size of Buda (Western part of Budapest) but it is built on the hills and valleys so you cannot really feel it. Besides it is a university town and gets very vibrant when the school starts. Probably you were there during the summer holiday season when locals leave the town for the beaches and sturdenst travel home. Once they are back it becomes vibrant.

If your not Hungarian they can't pronounce the é. So even the Pech will sound funny. I'm Hungarian. ❤

@@flyingroseu If you pronounce a word with a different accent people will still understand. If you pronouonce it wrong, people will not understand. No one will ever understand Pex, or Peks. Besides you are wrong, usually foreigners pronounce "e" as "é" as a default and have problems pronouncing a proper Hungarian "e". So it is just the opposite what you wrote.

A few people commenting on the correct pronunciation. It is somewhere between 'peach' and 'paitch'.

Well, there is no Mosque in Pécs because the city has NO muslim population. (Proununce like Pech, not Pex). The building of the former Mosque is a Catholic Church: the Inner-city Candlelit Blessed Virgin Mary Church. Pécs locating in Central Europe, not Eastern Europe, and with it's 170.000 population the biggest city in Transdanubia (after Buda).

It's not so much of a "small town", it is a city with over 140 000 residents today. The center can get very busy depending of the time of day and season. People have already pointed out the pronunciation thing, CS in Hungarian is one of those special letters in the alphabet written with two characters but representing one sound and a single letter in a word. It has a sound that would usually be written with "ch" in English like in cheese. How English text to speech engines would pronounce it correctly would be somewhere along the lines of "Paitch". Try to make Google Translate say it, that's very close to how you say it in Hungarian.

I learned how to say Bom Jesus in Portuguese before making my video of it. I don't speak Portuguese. A little effort goes a long way.

It's not Pecks, do your research man. It's "Paytch", and it IS a city, not a small town. It is the 5th largerst city in Hungary, with a population of a 140.000 people.
