    Ummmm, whats the context here? Also as a bilingual hungarian-english speaker i have doubts about someone being able to learn english as an adult to the level of seeming like a complete native. Tho i still dont have context, was this spoken or written? If spoken then its impossible.

      This is the movie Unusual Suspects, the whole movie happens during the interrogation to one of the suspects, who, on one of the great plot-twists of movie history, happens to be the mythical crime-lord they have been talking about the whole movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6CqiShbBgo

        He was serbian. As the wiki page says, and his name indicates

          Well, yeah, but it does also say that he was born in “Austria-Hungary (present-day Serbia)”.

          I mean, OP did respond by now, so I guess, it isn’t about that guy either way, but don’t think my brain did too bad of a job. 🙃

            it is a commendable effort, I am just to old, I thought a reference to Usual Suspects with Kevin Spacey would have been obvious.

          Since there are so many joke responses: thr move is “The Usual Suspects”.

          PS: Don’t go looking into the director of this movie. He was mentioned by name in the “Open Secret” documentary.

    Who told you he was Hungarian?

    He did.

    Can you trust that, any more than anything else he said?

    I have long suspected that linguists were not people. Thank you for confirming that.
