Noun

barkochba (plural barkochbák)

  1. A guessing game (similar to twenty questions) in which a player comes up with a word (typically a living organism, an object, or a concept), while the other player(s) must figure it out by asking questions only to be answered with igen (yes) or nem (no). (In the easier version, some other replies are allowed, too: is (also; i.e. partly), nem jellemző (untypical; typically not), and nem tudom (I don’t know).) The player has only one opportunity to guess it when they feel positive enough about it (rákérdez (to have a go at it)) but they lose if it is unsuccessful.
