Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to point out the regionally differentiated meanings of the word “buchta” in Slovak dialects. It will focus primarily on the names of various types of flour-based dishes made from both leavened and unleavened dough, as well as on metaphorical meanings transferred on the basis of similarities in appearance and other characteristics.
