Hungarian term or phrase: Velence: fogalom
fogalom (biz., túlzó) = kiválóságáról közismert, népszerű dolog (vagy személy). Sajnos egyik szótárban sincs a fogalom ezen jelentése lefordítva. Lenne valamilyen ötletük, hogyan lehetne ezt a rövidke mondatot: Velence: fogalom lefordítani? Köszonöm.

English translation:Venice is an idea
Explanation:
Venice is an idea as much as it is a location. That idea encompasses a true melting pot mentality where there is room for rich and poor, middle-of-the-roaders, eccentrics and a cultural mix that provides a unique flavor to this area. VCOC members reflect this diversity, including homeowners and renters, students, construction workers and architects, young and old and from a range of ethnic backgrounds.

agree  Ildiko Santana: Ez jó lehet. Magyar: "fogalom" - angol: "concept" - szinoníma: "idea". Concept: an abstract or generic idea generalized from particular instances. Synonym: idea (Merriam-Webster). Tagadásban is: halvány fogalmam sincs - I haven't the faintest idea.
