Szía. I'm Indonesian myself and now I start to learn Hungarian and I found that beautiful yet quite hard to learn. Your videos are Superb and help me out to study this beautiful language. Köszönöm szépen 🌹🌹🌹
I am Hungarian by nationality, but I live in America, and much of my family lives in Hungary… It is important to me to learn Hungarian, though I am old in my life. I want to finish with my grandparents started teaching me… So thank you very much for sharing this lesson
YOU ARE AMAZING. I lived in Budapest in 2008-2009 for a year. These videos are great. Thank you so much for your help. We are visiting in October 2019 and want to start practicing some common phrases so I can communicate. Thank you!
Im going to visit my parents living in Hungary for 3 months. Your explanations are so clear and helpful. I have heard these phrases before but understand them when your explain them. Thank you.
Dear Eszter, I'm Italian and I love foreign languages. Thanks a lot for helping me to move my first step into the knowledge of Hungarian. You're really good. It's not that easy trying to teach your own language to foreign people!

Such an amazing language, I always had heard that Hungarian is one of the hardest language in the world, now I can realize myself that it's really hard hehehe... I study Polish Language and for seeing these "SZ" frequently in Hungarian, made me think that was the same pronounciacion as in Polish. Now I see that both SZ in Polish and in Hungarian are quite different... Thank you for your videos, I'm really appreciate them... Szia from Brazil
Én élvezem az oktatást,mert nem tudok angolul csak keveset,de így a magyar tanítással jobban jön az angol. Mert itt arra koncentráltam . Nagyon köszi Eszti !
Im not planning on visiting Hungary but i do work along side a person who is from Hungary and has mastered the english language so it would be nice if i learned Hungarian or at least a little bit so they do not feel like they have to speak english all the time. I like your videos they are easy to follow so thankyou for taking the time to do them.
Eszti these are WONDERFUL videos! I'm planning to be in Budapest for a month taking the CELTA course (a course in how to teach English as a second language). I went to a bookstore to find a Hungarian phrasebook and they didn't have any! But then I came home and watched your videos and just by doing that I am picking up some Hungarian. I also went to Duolingo and signed up for the "five minutes a day" program. I have about six and a half weeks before I leave - we'll see how much Hungarian I can learn in that time!
Dear Eszti pls continue to doing this videos. I m a Turkish and I ve just started to study hungarian language and literature in my country. Greetings from here and thanksa lot for helping with your videos. :)
Wowzerz you are an incredible teacher, my mother is Hungarian and I speak a bit. But when you explained how to say, What is your name, in a straight Hungarian translation it would be, What do they call you, rather than, what do you call yourself as you said. Do you agree?
The suffix of the verb - nak / -nek implies that it is done by them. Although first or third person plural suffixes are often used to express a general subject. It is used when the action or existence established in the predicate applies to everyone or everything. In this case ' hogy ' is a question word meaning ' hogyan ' ( how ).
Jaaajjjj de jókat nevetek😆😉, értem az angolod,és ahogy hallgatlak elképzelem ,ahogy an angolul beszélők ,megpróbálják elképzelni ,össze rakni , kiejteni a magyart😆😉🤗😋 ez nagyon jó 😘🥰🌹🌸🏵️💐🌺🌷
Egészségedre can be thought as a combination of two parts: egész and ségedre. The different s sounds (sz and s) next to each other divide the word and make it easier to pronounce. Think of Egees-scheegedre. Looks like German, ay? Quite not so hard now... or that's my opinion at least, as a Finn... the sz and s sounds in Hungarian are probably the most important ones to master since they are used a lot in general.
In the first 10 basic phrases. The word NAGY or the ng sound does exist in the English language. To be more precise not in the North America way of speaking, but in UK English absolutely. The word is ‘during’. The UK say ‘djuring’, same for news - ‘njews’, & Duke = ‘Djuke’. I hope this helps people tackling this unique language.
I´ll be watching your videos. On August ´16 , going to Budapest. I can't see yet, what our finnish has common with hungarian. I hope I find up shortly.
hii greetings from indonesia :).. i know just little bit hungarian language cause i have a friend from hungary..and he teach me..so difficult but i like it :D
Thank you so much Eszti. I think your videos are perfect for learning. Not too long or too 'packed', and I love how you take the time to explain the correct pronunciation and also what the phrases mean verbatim, which I think really helps to grasp or get a feel of a language. By the way, I'd be curious to know what Egészségedre means. ;) It is a 'random' term used only in this situation, does it actually mean something close to the english 'cheers'?.. In French for example we usually say 'santé' which means 'health', or if we are to chug our drinks down in one sip, we can say 'cul sec' which means 'dry ass' (since no liquid will remain at the 'bottom' of the glass.. ;))... So I'd like to know how Egészségedre translates exactly, if you or anybody reading this would be kind enough to enlighten me. :) Also, one thing I always like to learn in a new language is how to ask "How do you say ... in (Hungarian)?". This way if I'm visiting, I can take the opportunity to ask the locals "How do you say this? How do you say that?" and hopefully pick up more words and expressions while I'm there... So that's one I'd like to learn if you continue to make videos. :)
Hearing those police sirens must mean that you are based in Budapest right? Love that city and would love to learn the language and one of my goals is to pick it up seriously this year. I'm in Budapest quite frequently so I guess I could practice with locals pretty often, but other than that: do you maybe have some good sources of literature/media (besides your videos of course :)) to learn the language?
Gyimóthy Gábor, Firenze 1984. X. 12. Nyelvlecke Egyik olaszóra sodrán, Ím a kérdés felmerült: Hogy milyen nyelv ez a magyar, Európába hogy került? Elmeséltem, ahogy tudtam, Mire képes a magyar. Elmondtam, hogy sok, sok rag van, S hogy némelyik mit takar, És a szókincsben mi rejlik, A rengeteg árnyalat, Példaként vegyük csak itt: Ember, állat hogy halad? Elmondtam, hogy mikor járunk, Mikor mondom, hogy megyek. Részeg, hogy dülöngél nálunk, S milyen, ha csak lépdelek. Miért mondom, hogy botorkál Gyalogol, vagy kódorog, S a sétáló szerelmes pár, Miért éppen andalog? A vaddisznó, hogy ha rohan, Nem üget, de csörtet - és Bár alakra majdnem olyan Miért más a törtetés? Mondtam volna még azt is hát, Aki fut, miért nem lohol? Miért nem vág, ki mezőn átvág, De tán vágtat valahol. Aki tipeg, miért nem libeg, S ez épp úgy nem lebegés, -- Minthogy nem csak sánta biceg, S hebegés nem rebegés! Mit tesz a ló, ha poroszkál, Vagy pedig, ha vágtázik? És a kuvasz, ha somfordál, Avagy akár bóklászik. Lábát szedi, a ki kitér, A riadt őz elszökell. Nem ront be az, aki betér . . . Más nyelven, hogy mondjam el? Jó lett volna szemléltetni, Botladozó, mint halad, Avagy milyen őgyelegni? Egy szó - egy kép - egy zamat! Aki „slattyog”, miért nem „lófrál”? Száguldó hová szalad? Ki vánszorog, miért nem kószál? S aki kullog, hol marad? Bandukoló miért nem baktat? És ha motyog, mit kotyog, Aki koslat, avagy kaptat, Avagy császkál és totyog? Nem csak árnyék, aki suhan, S nem csak a jármű robog, Nem csak az áradat rohan, S nem csak a kocsi kocog. Aki cselleng, nem csatangol, Ki „beslisszol” elinal, Nem „battyog” az, ki bitangol, Ha mégis: a mese csal! Hogy a kutya lopakodik, Sompolyog, majd meglapul, S ha ráförmedsz, elkotródik. Hogy mondjam ezt olaszul? Másik, erre settenkedik, Sündörög, majd elterül. Ráripakodsz, elódalog, Hogy mondjam ezt németül? Egy csavargó itt kóborol, Lézeng, ődöng, csavarog, Lődörög, majd elvándorol, S többé már nem zavarog. Ám egy másik itt tekereg, -- Elárulja kósza nesz - Itt kóvályog, itt ténfereg. . . Franciául, hogy van ez? S hogy a tömeg miért özönlik, Mikor tódul, vagy vonul, Vagy hömpölyög, s még sem ömlik, Hogy mondjam ezt angolul? Aki surran, miért nem oson, Vagy miért nem lépeget? Mindezt csak magyarul tudom, S tán csak magyarul lehet. . .! Forrás: Transylvania, 40 évf. 2. szám.
Szia! do you play drums? anyway, "a" is like a closed a almost like an o... actually like the a in "almost"? While "á" is an open a like in like (pronunciation of course)? Köszi!
woow thanks for making this video it helps me out when i will go to my gf :) i like your explaination is so good. hope you will keep this series up. would be cool if you can teach me how to ask question like : how old are you ? what hobbys do you have ? where do you live? and then aswers like i do live 20 km from budapest. you know standard question and answers when you going to make friends or meet ppl . its just a idea if you like to make another video
+3sportoXD OK, just as an example for FORMAL speech - with that, you will never stumble into an embarrassment: How old are you? - Hány éves Ön? What hobbies do you have? - Milyen hobbijai vannak? Where do you live? - Hol lakik? 20 km from BUD - 20 (húsz) kilométerre Budapesttől. It gets complicated here. We have formal sing/plur and informal sing/plur. Example, using 'Where do you live': Informal singular: hol laksz? Informal plural: hol laktok (ti)? Formal singular: Hol lakik (Ön/Maga)? Formal plural: hol laknak (Önök/Maguk)?
Just 1 point: Here, informal expressions are given. Hungarian, however, distinguishes quite strictly between informal and formal speech. Like German. So you can use these in informal situations, but I would be very embarrassed to address strangers in the street this way. Let alone higher ranking officials!
IGEN - YES NEM - NO ELNÉZÉST - EXCUSE ME MI A NEVED? - WHAT IS YOUR NAME? HOGY HÍVNAK? (more common) - HOW DO YOU CALL YOURSELF? _____ VAGYOK - I AM ______ AZ ÉN NEVEM ______ - MY NAME IS ______ EGÉSZSÉGEDRE - CHEERS
+Darrell Bibby How much? = Generally "Mennyi?" (in certain cases "Hány?") Where is...? = "Hol van...?" You can also say "Hol találom...?" which means 'Where can I find...?' Toilet = Written as 'WC', pronounced as "Vécé" I would like = "Szeretnék..." or "Szeretném". I suggest to use the "Szeretnék" version always if you don't want to go into grammar. People will understand you anyway. Just until she uploads the next part. :)
Awesome Islanders Hockey Videos nothing like he word egg. It is more like saying ‘eh’ with a very soft dge but then instead of the dge you add a bit of ‘ye’ at the same time. Dge like dodge but at the same time as ye. As if you were saying the dge/ye softly at the same time. Kind of like saying ‘dgy’esterday. But without the esterday.
"Elnezest" it's difficult! I'll better not to bump into anyone... :) By the way in many Hungarian words some letters are mute aren't they? For example in "elnezest" I can't hear the "l"...
Hi, in hungary you can say hello everybody will understand, younger people usually use "hi" as well, but if you want to use hungarian word just say "szia" but if you want to greet a group of people with szia you have to use the prular form "sziasztok".
