Hungarian - Original edit
Etymology edit
From jó (“good”) + -ból (“of”, case suffix) + is (“even”) + megárt (“to be harmful”) + a (“the”) + sok (“much”), literally: “even too much of a good thing can be harmful”.
Phrase edit
- too much of a good thing can be harmful, enough is as good as a feast
Pros: Compared to no etymology section at all, users don't have to make multiple clicks using the headline to find out what the elements mean.
Cons: Extra work for the editor. Too much detail, muddy appearance. The literal meaning is hiding at the end.
Hungarian - Variant 1 edit
Etymology edit
Literally, “the large amount is harmful even out of a good thing”.
From jóból (out of [a] good thing) + is (even) + megárt (is harmful) + a sok (the large amount).
Phrase edit
- too much of a good thing can be harmful, enough is as good as a feast
Pros: The literal meaning is the first line. The literal translation is closer to the original. The Hungarian elements are bolded. Less detail is provided by not separating suffixes. Cleaner appearance due to using posN instead of tN which omits the quotation marks.
Cons: Extra work for the editor.

Phrase edit
- too much of a good thing can be harmful, enough is as good as a feast
Pros: Clean presentation.
Cons: Extra work for the editor. Learners may not be familiar with this style normally used by linguists. The tooltips do provide explanations and work fine on computers with a mouse but I don't know how to make them work on a mobile device with a touch screen.
Hungarian - Variant 3 edit
Etymology edit
Literally, “the large amount is harmful even out of a good thing”: jóból is megárt a sok
Phrase edit
- too much of a good thing can be harmful, enough is as good as a feast
Pros: Short and clean.
Cons: Extra work for the editor. Tooltips issue for mobile devices. It is not immediately clear why the phrase is repeated (even though the individual words are underlined). It might be hard for a learner to put the phrase together because the translations are not visible at the same time.
Hungarian - Variant 4 edit
Etymology edit
Literally, “the large amount is harmful even out of a good thing”.
Phrase edit
- too much of a good thing can be harmful, enough is as good as a feast
Pros: Phrase not repeated in the Etymology. Comments in the same place where you'd follow the links.
Cons: People might still not notice the comments. There may be other reasons why this isn't commonly done.
