Hands that are covered in dirt or grime.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
In Hungarian villages, having dirty hands from work is a point of pride, but entering a house with dirty hands is a major insult to the host's cleanliness. The 'Tiszta Kezek' (Clean Hands) rhetoric is a recurring theme in Hungarian election cycles, where every party claims the other has 'piszkos keze'. Hungarian parents are very strict about 'piszkos kéz' before meals, often using it as a primary teaching tool for discipline. The influence of French existentialism (Sartre) made 'piszkos kéz' a high-brow intellectual term in Budapest coffee houses in the 60s and 70s.
Singular vs Plural
In Hungarian, we often say 'piszkos a kezem' (singular) even if both hands are dirty. Using the plural 'kezeim' sounds more emphatic or formal.
Avoid 'Mocskos'
Don't use 'mocskos' unless you are very angry. It's much stronger than 'piszkos' and can be offensive.

Vowel Harmony
Notice that 'piszkos' has back vowels (i, o) and 'kéz' has a front vowel (é). This is a rare case where a common collocation mixes vowel types, so pay attention to the suffixes you add to each!
