Mekk Elek


Tiny statue of Mekk Elek, the main character of a Hungarian puppet animated series, on Széll Kálmán square in Budapest. Mekk Elek is famous for mostly only speaking Eszperente, what is like a dialect or sub-language of Hungarian, where when speaking one must use only words, that contain only the vowel e (or é), and yet still must speak correct Hungarian. 😉
