tv-paprika

• tévépaprika

From the initialism of tölteni való (“for stuffing”) + paprika (“pepper”). It is only by coincidence that the term shares its initials with televízió (“television”), also abbreviated as tv, which is often misleading even for native speakers.

• IPA^(key): [ˈteːveːpɒprikɒ]
• Hyphenation: tv-‧pap‧ri‧ka
