    Hungarian Kivalo Dolgozol Badges


    Recommended Posts

    Ooooohhhhh. :cheers: Nice-early and nice. What is the profession?

    Hey, you should do a follow up note on this one for the JOMSA!

    Ulsterman,

    Engineering is the profession.

    Verdun16,

    Thanks for posting all your early numbered badges. As I mentioned before, these are getting hard to come by and as you have noted, the prices are certainly going up.

    Regards,

    Gordon

    And now for the twist. Instaed of having a numer/letter number combination or a plain back this one has L A B O R 25 on the back. The English translation for labor is laboratory. Not really sure what this refers to. Perhaps laboratoy #25 was where the worker was employed who received this Kiv?l? M?sz?ki Dolgoz?.

    Regards,

    Hi Gents,

    In this category of "KIV?L? DOLGOZ?" badges, these three tiny ones are my favourites. "KIV?L? M?H?SZ" means "Excellent Bee-keeper". There were three grades of this title, gold (1st class), silver (2nd class) and bronze (3rd class) grades. Are not they lovely? (And what an idea, "Excellent Bee-keeper"!? :D )

    cimbineus,

    Another new badge that I have not seen before and I have a lot of "KIV?L? DOLGOZ?" badges. As you say, these are very attractive badges.

    Hi Gordon,

    It is very interesting that approximately from 1990 those badges became quite popular to collect and many of them gradually became very difficult to find items. I must admit that this is one of my favourite fields.

    Cimbineus -

    do you have a Kivalo Dolgozo for the Interior Ministry by chance???

    Yes, I have that badge in my collection. It is extremely scarce in this category (RRR) which means, that it is almost impossible to find. Here is the picture:

    Hello all,

    I offer here some vocabulary that might be useful for not native speaker collectors of Hungarian "KIV?L?" badges. I think you can see these words on this kind of badges quite often.

    • MUNK?S ? in general: worker, but mostly physical worker
    • MUNK?SA ? worker of ?
    • MUNK??RT ? for ? work (agricultural, excellent, etc.)
    • KIV?L? ? excellent, the highest distinction.
    • ?RDEMES ? meritorious, a lower distinction.
    • J? ? good, the lowest distinction.
    • ?LMUNK?S - front-runner (vanguard) worker, gaffer
    • DOLGOZ? ? employee in general (both physical and intellectual)
    • DOLGOZ?JA ? employee of ?
    • V?LLALAT ? company, firm

    • TANUL?S ? learning
    • TANUL?S?RT -. For learning
    • T?RSADALMI MUNKA? work done in public interests, "voluntary" that is free work
    And in general:

    ~a, ~ja, ~e, ~je at the end of a word usually means "of"

    ~?rt at the end of a word usually means "for"

    ~ban, ~ben at the end of a word usually means "in"

    ~?s, ~?s at the end of a word usually means "~ing", that is a process. (Example: TANUL ? to learn; TANUL?S ? learning)

    ~at, ~et at the end of a word usually means "~ing", "~y" or "~try", that is an activity or a field of activity. (Examples: B?NY?SZ ? miner, B?NY?SZAT ? mining; KOH?SZ ? metallurgist, KOH?SZAT ? metallurgy; VEGY?SZ ? chemist, VEGY?SZET - chemistry.)

    ~?sz, ~?sz at the end of a word usually means "~ist", "~er", "~or", e.t.c., that is a person who deals with something (Examples: B?NYA ? mine, B?NY?SZ ? miner, or M?H ? bee, M?H?SZ ? bee-keeper, KERT ? garden, KERT??SZ ? gardener; ?J?T?S ? innovation, ?J?T? - innovator.)
