Hungarian

The Hungarian words for "lullaby" are altatódal, ' put-to-sleep song ', altató, ' puts to sleep ', and bölcsődal, ' cradle song '. Another, now archaic and little-used word is csucsujgató, ' puts to sleep; nuzzling/cuddling '. In Hungary, lullabies did not develop into an independent genre, and most folk lullabies are from before the Hungarian conquest of the Carpathian Basin (Hungarian: honfoglalás, lit. ' conquest of the homeland '). Relatively little foreign impact can be seen in them, but many changes came from their use in schools. A discernable subtype are Mária-énekek, ' Mary songs ', Christmas lullabies sung in the name of Mary, mother of Jesus. Most cradle-songs use ringatószavak, ' rocking words ' that are meaningless, archaic, or come from baby talk, as well as many terms of endearment such as baba, bogárka, csibe, angyal, kedves, rózsabimbó, ' baby, beetle, chick, angel, dear, rosebud ', some of which they share with love songs. They usually have only one verse and short lines.
