Abstract
This study examines how Turkish and Hungarian speakers conceptualize VATAN and SZÜLŐFÖLD in their respective native languages using a freelisting task. The responses from 118 Turkish and 121 Hungarian participants were analyzed for frequency and grouped into conceptual themes. The results show that both groups associate these concepts with universal notions such as belonging and place attachment. Turkish speakers tend to conceptualize VATAN in terms of collective identity, national symbols, and moral duty, whereas Hungarian speakers tend to conceptualize SZÜLŐFÖLD through individual experiences and family ties. The findings confirm that VATAN and SZÜLŐFÖLD share a common universal core; however, their meanings are shaped by unique patterns.
