English term or phrase: cranberry
Ez egy bogyó neve, van ennek magyar forditása?
Piros szinű, kicsit hosszúkás formájú, kemény bogyó, szószt, lekvárt, illetve ivólevet, üditőt szoktak belőle késziteni.
Hasonlit a csipkebogyóra, de nem hegyes a vége.
Az is érdekelne, hogy lehet-e ezt Magyarországon kapni, akár nyersen, akár befőzve vagy konzervként.
(A kérdés második fele nem forditási probléma, viszont nagyon érdekelne, ugyanis, ha nem lehet kapni, akkor nem sok értelme van a receptet leforditani.)

From my personal experience - New Jersey in the U.S. is the official "cranberry state" - it is also the place I call home.

This is the right one. I did a search on Google using tőzegáfonya, and several Hungarian sites came up, some with pictures.
Csaba, I think "áfonya" just by itself usually refers to blueberry. I remember in "Hupikék Törpikék" (Smurfs) they always talked about "áfonya", and in the English version it is always about blueberries.

áfonya


Explanation:
nem összekeverendő a "Cranberries"-zel, akik legalább olyan jók zenében, mint az áfonya a bogyósok között.

Explanation:
Katalin!

I know you have already decided who was the best but to make sure you know what is what,pls. consider the following:

small cranberry (Oxycoccus palustris) -
amerikai tőzegáfonya or
nagybogyós áfonya
cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) -
tőzegáfonya
European cranberry or bog whortleberry -
(Vaccinium uliginosum) hamvas
áfonya
So the issue is not that easy. One is for sure, all cranberries are virtually unavailable in Hungary. To learn more ask a proz member in Finland.

Best regards,
