Usage notes

In Hungarian there is no generic term for nut as such; some are referred to as a type of dió (originally: “walnut”), some others as a type of mogyoró (“peanut / hazelnut”), and some others as a type of gesztenye (“chestnut”). On the other hand, pine nut is called fenyőmag (literally “pine seed”).
