@@Vibingincorndogs Не мисля, че Българският език много ще ти е на помощ при изучаването на Руски.

Jacob Grimm: "The logical and perfect structure of the Hungarian language surpasses all other languages." George Bernard Shaw: "I can boldly say that after studying the Hungarian language for years, I became convinced that if Hungarian had been my mother tongue, my life's work would have been much more valuable." Giuseppe Mezzofanti: "Do you know which is the language that I place before all others, with Greek and Latin, because of its constructive ability and the harmony of its rhythm? The Hungarian."
Hungarian is a rather complicated, but exceptionally logical language. What makes it easier is that the meaning of words is usually very specific, a word does not have as many meanings as, for example, in English. That is why Hungarians understand simple texts from foreigners who speak Hungarian poorly. The specific meaning of words partially compensates for grammatical errors. The real difficulty lies in the fact that words can have an enormous number of forms, depending on the role of the word in the sentence. A verb or noun can have up to 40-50 or more forms. You can get very confused about this. The other difficulty, which follows from the previous ones, is that Hungarian is very suitable for creating long complex sentences, because the very logical grammar makes it possible for long, complicated sentences to be understandable (to someone who knows Hungarian well).

I'm slowly starting to understand more and begin speaking in smaller sentences. Even being able to reply to questions and such has been a big achievement for me! I do hope to continue learning and this was an extremely insightful video of how you grasped the language !!
I’ve been learning Hungarian through Netflix subtitles, Hungarian movies using bing translator as subtitles and after studying for 3-4 months I have a really good grasp on the basics I understand the most common 400-500 words I still need to study more to understand movies and videos in Hungarian without subtitles but I can do very basic conversation now.

Also if you travel to Hungary (at least to Budapest) and speak Hungarian with the locals (not necessarily even having full blown conversations, just simply ordering food or interacting with a cashier at the supermarket), even if you have some trouble understanding their responses, they're generally super appreciative of your efforts and at least in my experience they'll go from polite, but rather reserved, to still polite, but also very friendly. And it's even more transparent with elderly people. I can share a story of having accidentaly broken my gf's glasses and going around the town to fix them. We were stressed and in a hurry, so I didn't make effort and just spoke English. We went to some fancy optical salon in the centre of Pest as it was the nearest one. They told us they couldn't fix it (maybe willing that we'd be pushed to buy a new pair at their salon, idk). So then we went to the second one, which was a small venue at the very end of some smaller street. The elderly lady whom we encountered there, either couldn't or didn't wanna speak English with me and acted rather cold about it. The second I said "Azért" and then followed up with the explanation of the problem, while googling how to say "glasses' frame" in Hungarian on the side (its "szemüveg keretje" if you ever wondered. Now that noun is instilled in my mind), she changed her attitude by 180* and acted super sweet throughout the entirety of the conversation. She fixed the glasses and didn't even wanna charge us for it
It might sound odd, but I absolutely love the word “krumpli”. It just rolls off the tongue so well 😂 I’ll be following your channel from now on to learn Hungarian! 🇭🇺 Much love from the UK!
I also love krumpli😂 (means potato in Hungarian if u didn't know) but i love sült krumpli more! (French fries) Much love from Hungary! Sok szeretet Magyarországtól!

@@FrederikCorneliustravelFrederik gratulálok most hivatalosan boldoggá tetted a magyarokat Frederik congratulation you officially made hungaryans happy
I am learning both languages Hungarian and Danish, and also Icelandic / Norse / Dutch / Norwegian / Gothic / Faroese etc and all other Germanic languages and the modern Celtic languages etc, because they are so pretty and very easy to learn, even Hungarian which is an agglutinative language, so, even though Hungarian is very different with very different grammar, it is actually one of the easiest languages, which can be learnt quite fast, kinda like Germanic languages, especially if one focuses mostly on vocab, and if one figures out how its grammar works, it will be quite easy to use it, as the only difference is, that in agglutinative languages, the prepositions are added at the end of the noun and are written as one word and they are referred to as postpositions, and even though I don’t know any agglutinative languages fluently, I kinda figured out how agglutinative languages work, so I don’t feel like they are that different now! Hungarian is a mid category 2 language spelling-wise and it has an easy category 1 pronunciation, almost as easy as Icelandic / English / Dutch / Norse / Gothic pronunciation, and, Danish has a very easy and light category 1 spelling and a category 2 pronunciation like German / Brazilian Portuguese / Faroese / Swedish / French, so Danish pronunciation takes more practice to get the exact accent, as it has an accent that is a bit ‘harder’ to imitate, like German and Faroese, but the words themselves are very easy to learn! Danish and Hungarian words are also super easy to memorize, as most of them are very pretty, and one naturally remembers the prettier and more distinctive words faster, and even though I am beginner level in both Danish and Hungarian at the moment, I can understand most Danish words I see because I am advanced level in Norwegian and upper intermediate level in Icelandic / Norse / German and upper advanced level in Dutch! Hungarian is very different from the other languages I am learning, and it is closely related to Turkish, as they come from the same Proto language, which is why they have the same word endings like ek / rök / k / mek / nek / tek / ök and many cognates, but Hungarian is actually a pretty language with mostly pretty words, as it was influenced a lot by Germanic / Norse languages, and it is very unique overall, so most of the Hungarian words aren’t obvious cognates with words from any other language, and its numbers are also very unique! I highly recommend learning Hungarian and Danish 2gether with Icelandic / Norse / Dutch / Norwegian / Gothic / Faroese etc, which are also super gorgeous - these languages are the prettiest languages ever created, as pretty / refined / poetic as English, so they are way too pretty not to know, and they are all super fun to learn / speak / hear / see etc!
By the way, Hungarian has a relaxed pronunciation, so the muscles involved in speaking and the lips are kept relaxed when saying words in Hungarian and the words are pronounced normally, but Danish has a non-relaxed pronunciation like English / Dutch / German / Welsh / Faroese / Brazilian Portuguese / French, so the muscles involved in speaking and the lips are tensed up (it’s kinda subconscious, one isn’t even aware of it) and a different sound placement is used, which is what gives these languages that different / modern sound, and this is something that one does automatically, it’s all controlled by the hern, and it’s really hard to explain how this works, but if one keeps trying to imitate the exact sounds one hears and tensing up the lips and muscles involved in speaking to different levels and if one tries different sound placements, one will get the right Danish accent eventually, and, with languages that use a non-relaxed pronunciation, I feel like it would be way easier to get the right accent if one knew all the words and the pronunciation of each word automatically, so, first learning all the words automatically, like, really automatically, and listening to the language a lot, while reading the subs, and then when getting to an upper intermediate or advanced level, trying to pronounce the words, and normally, pronunciation should improve naturally, once one knows a lot of the words automatically, so it takes a lot of revising and repeating, and also typing a lot in the language, to develop a muscle memory and reflexive memory, in addition to learning the words with their pronunciation automatically, and also listening to the language being spoken a lot, like, hearing each word hundreds of times, over a longer period of time, and then the pronunciation should come naturally, especially if one remembers to consciously tense up the lips and the muscles involved in speaking, and to not pronounce the words like in the first language that one was made to learn and trying different sound placements, until one gets the right sound and until new speaking habits are formed, and then it should all be like second nature! I highly recommend focusing mostly on vocab, and learning hundreds and thousands of new words every regularly, while also regularly revising previously learnt words, many times, over a longer period of time, until every word can be instantly processed and automatically remembered, and memorizing as many lyrics as possible (for example, learning all the Skáld songs which are in many Norse / Germanic / Nordic languages and Nox songs such as Nem Lesz Több Danc) is also a great way to learn many new words and phrases in a fun way, and also, always watching every single video and movie with subs in the target languages, which are the best and most effective ways of languages many pretty and easy languages! I use all these language learning techniques such as spaced repetition and memorizing lyrics and watching everything with subs etc, having over 50 target languages, and learning new words in about 15 of my target languages regularly and in some of the other target languages occasionally, and usually prioritizing about five languages the most, and I see a lot of progress fast, so, even though watching and rewatching vocab videos many times isn’t the most fun part about learning languages, it is definitely the most efficient and necessary!
@@thetrueoneandonlyladyprinc8038 WOW! Te nagyon tehetséges vagy, hogy ennyi nyelven beszelsz/tanulsz. Sokan vagyunk akik nem képesek egyetlen 1 nyelvet megtanulni. Én angol nyelvterületen élek már 23 éve, és még minding akad problémám (na, nem sok 😀)
I am impressed you took the time and effort to learn, being a native Hungarian/English speaker I have forgotten more than I care to think and still strive to keep my heritage alive.
Yes, I would like you to do a Hungarian language course! Also, how long did it take you to learn Hungarian? My favorite words in Hungarian: Egy sört szeretnék.
I live in South- West Slovakia. I try to speak Hungarian to some of my collegues which speak Hungarian. We go shopping to Hungary from time to time and I try to speak Hungarian there. I listen to Hungarian songs and learned a Hungarian poem by heart....
I'm hungarian and it's just AMAZING how You love and learn hungarian language!! Respect to You and also thank You! And the tiny hungarian-danish badge on You is very cute! 😄
Just a tip for video making: try to find fonts with accented letters. Now for emphasis is good but other times, it is annoying that it is not the same looking letter as the others. When you download them you can see which ones are in. Pretty good video! Congrats on learning and using the language. I knew a few people that are living here and had been married for years and still didn't speak a word of Hungarian. So congrats! 👍
Great video! Thank you for speaking so nicely about our beautiful culture and language. I would like to just add that a part of the 'formal" language that we speak is much more intricate and respectful of elderly, and of people in higher positions. For instance a younger gentleman would say to an older woman "kezet csokolom" az a greeting. This means I kiss your hand. Also, my father didn't call his mom 'Anya" or "Anyu" he would say "Edesanya" which means sweet mother. Or you would ask someone "Hogy tetszik lenni/" which word for word means "how do you enjoy being/" or in other words "How are you" Just a few examples on how different we speak with elderly to show respect.
Nice video! Congratulations on your Hungarian, you speak it very nicely. Yes, please do a Hungarian language course, I'm pretty sure it will be appreciated by many. Thanks!
Hungarian heritage spsaker here. You, I think, are the first non-native/heritage speaker where I am actually impressed with your pronunciation! And I'm a phonetician, so I'm strict 😉
if peopels talk about difficult language they think of Chines and Russian bacause the letter. Yeah thats also can make a language difficult but relly i born in Hungary i speak Hungarian and its still difficult so I am VERY impressed that you speak Hungarian so well.
I want to learn more , I'm mostly of Hungarian descent, three of my grandparents and father are from there. Yet I Don't speak because they weren't a part of my life, and my father came here so young he's not super fluent. Thanks for this
Very good, at the moment I'm in Hungary, in Szeged to study, I'm trying to learn to speak Hungarian and it's not easy at all but I'm enjoying the process
Győr and a Danish guy - brings back memories :D About 15 years ago, a Danish journalist was coming to Győr to do a story about the women's handball team, he asked my help to be some kind of fixer for him. Everything went fine, and before he left he admitted he had been worried about what kind of people and culture he would meet in the wild east :D He had probably pictured donkey drawn carts, big hairy giants eating with bare hands in smoky restaurants :D So I think it was a relief for him. It's just another nice European city.
I am Hungarian but my family left Hungary in 1956 and went to Australia and for some reason my nan didnt teach my mum Hungarian so I never learned it, I'm 14 and really like my heritage and want to learn it so this video is already helping ty Luckily I can talk to my Hungarian friend, Nan and Great Grandmother
Hi Frederik! Thank you so much for your interesting and genuine insights about hungarian language and culture in general. I will visit Budapest soon, for the first time and I'm very excited for. Your content are really helping me a lot, thank you!, thank you again! :) Btw, you mentioned in this video about hungarian music: what bands or artists do you recommend or you like most? Thank you and keep sharing your good stuff! Rita x
great video! Also never try to eat wild chestnuts from the tree, it’s not what they are selling. roasted chestnuts are a different edible type called mild chestnuts (szelíd gesztenye). vadgesztenye is poisonousk
I like your hungarian pronunciation, it sounds so smooth and light, better than some native speakers'😄 Sok sikert és csak így tovább! - Good luck and keep it up!❤
My Nana was Hungarian, born in mersevat and when she came to USA, met her husband, and started her family, her husband would not let her teach the kids the language because he didn't want his children to speak a language that he could not speak. Sadly the language in our family passed with her, but her chicken paprikash and her walnut and poppy seed rolls are still made by the family. I make it the best 😉. Her one remaining sister still lives in Budapest and I pray to meet her one day before she goes home to be with my nana.
2:23 Also there is a more formal way: " Jó napot kívánok!" meaning "I wish you a good day". "Jó napot" is actually an abbreviation of that, but saying just "'Jó napot!" it totally fine.
Thanks for this video -- new to your channel. I''ve been learning on and off using Duolingo but haven't really made a goal -- it's really just out of curiosity. In terms of favourite words, I laughed when I learned "bisztonságos" ("safe") because it's so long compared to English! It's very interesting seeing how the language works :)
Another tip: change the language settings on your phone to Magyar. One of my favourite magyar words: csirkepaprikás. Btw how do you like Hungarian foods?
I think learning the alphabet is one of the most important things. You should understand the special letters which are used in Hungarian, like sz, zs, gy, ty, dzs. It will help you to pronounce the words more easily in which these letters are used. Besides that, you will understand that these are single letters and not two separate ones.

The elderly lady whom we encountered there, either couldn't or didn't wanna speak English with me and acted rather cold about it. The second I said "Azért" and then followed up with the explanation of the problem, while googling how to say "glasses' frame" in Hungarian on the side (its "szemüveg keretje" if you ever wondered. Now that noun is instilled in my mind), she changed her attitude by 180* and acted super sweet throughout the entirety of the conversation. She fixed the glasses and didn't even wanna charge us for it
It might sound odd, but I absolutely love the word “krumpli”. It just rolls off the tongue so well 😂
I’ll be following your channel from now on to learn Hungarian! 🇭🇺
Much love from the UK!
That's a good one! Made me smile when I learned that.
What do you think about kurbli then? XD
I also love krumpli😂 (means potato in Hungarian if u didn't know) but i love sült krumpli more! (French fries) Much love from Hungary!
Sok szeretet Magyarországtól!
Krampampuli = New Year's Eve alcoholic hot drink. Dried fruits (plums, peaches, dates, figs, etc.), walnuts, almonds, raisins, hazelnuts, mulled wine, rum...
Ettől kidőlsz mint az ólajtó!
Heh the hungarian "krumpli" is actually a german origin word. Comes from "grundbirne".
YES PLEASE! Any help you can give in learning Hungarian would be really appreciated.
Sure, you got any ideas, what kind of videos you’d like to see?
@@FrederikCorneliustravelModern Hungarians especially in Budapest dont necessarily speaks the language correctly or understand it properly.
Szia for example is the same word as See you literally just woth Ya .Igen in a same way in South we say Ha while Igen is more of oath related something that is binding...
The Hungarian language is indeed very difficult, but extremely refined. Using it, all emotions can be expressed with great sensitivity. If you know Hungarian even better than this, you will get the hang of it!
By the way, congratulations, you speak well and pronounce the words well! ❤
Szia tetsznek a videóid amikett kèszitesz ès új szemszögböl làttom a magyar nyelvet. Emiatt örülök hogy rà talàltam a csatornàdra üdvözletel egy magyar ember
Végre van egy ember, aki magyarul tanul. Nagyon szépen beszélsz és sok jó tanácsot adsz. Sok sikert a magyar nyelvhez!
Finally the video we all have been waiting for!
Yes
Hajrá, sok sikert a nyelvhez. Amikor egy külföldi beszél és tanul a mi nyelvünkön, az mindig büszkeséggel tölt el. 😁 Feliratkoztam. 😉
Nagyon köszönöm szépen
Szia Frederik! As a Hungarian I am very glad for this video! Keep on learning, you've made such a big achievement! Danish is hard to pronounce too anyway hahahahahaha
Hey Bence! Thanks for watching! I am grateful for being able to learn Hungarian and speak it everyday with Hungarians! Danish is not easy either
@@FrederikCorneliustravelFrederik gratulálok most hivatalosan boldoggá tetted a magyarokat
Frederik congratulation you officially made hungaryans happy
I am learning both languages Hungarian and Danish, and also Icelandic / Norse / Dutch / Norwegian / Gothic / Faroese etc and all other Germanic languages and the modern Celtic languages etc, because they are so pretty and very easy to learn, even Hungarian which is an agglutinative language, so, even though Hungarian is very different with very different grammar, it is actually one of the easiest languages, which can be learnt quite fast, kinda like Germanic languages, especially if one focuses mostly on vocab, and if one figures out how its grammar works, it will be quite easy to use it, as the only difference is, that in agglutinative languages, the prepositions are added at the end of the noun and are written as one word and they are referred to as postpositions, and even though I don’t know any agglutinative languages fluently, I kinda figured out how agglutinative languages work, so I don’t feel like they are that different now!
Hungarian is a mid category 2 language spelling-wise and it has an easy category 1 pronunciation, almost as easy as Icelandic / English / Dutch / Norse / Gothic pronunciation, and, Danish has a very easy and light category 1 spelling and a category 2 pronunciation like German / Brazilian Portuguese / Faroese / Swedish / French, so Danish pronunciation takes more practice to get the exact accent, as it has an accent that is a bit ‘harder’ to imitate, like German and Faroese, but the words themselves are very easy to learn!
Danish and Hungarian words are also super easy to memorize, as most of them are very pretty, and one naturally remembers the prettier and more distinctive words faster, and even though I am beginner level in both Danish and Hungarian at the moment, I can understand most Danish words I see because I am advanced level in Norwegian and upper intermediate level in Icelandic / Norse / German and upper advanced level in Dutch!
Hungarian is very different from the other languages I am learning, and it is closely related to Turkish, as they come from the same Proto language, which is why they have the same word endings like ek / rök / k / mek / nek / tek / ök and many cognates, but Hungarian is actually a pretty language with mostly pretty words, as it was influenced a lot by Germanic / Norse languages, and it is very unique overall, so most of the Hungarian words aren’t obvious cognates with words from any other language, and its numbers are also very unique!
I highly recommend learning Hungarian and Danish 2gether with Icelandic / Norse / Dutch / Norwegian / Gothic / Faroese etc, which are also super gorgeous - these languages are the prettiest languages ever created, as pretty / refined / poetic as English, so they are way too pretty not to know, and they are all super fun to learn / speak / hear / see etc!
By the way, Hungarian has a relaxed pronunciation, so the muscles involved in speaking and the lips are kept relaxed when saying words in Hungarian and the words are pronounced normally, but Danish has a non-relaxed pronunciation like English / Dutch / German / Welsh / Faroese / Brazilian Portuguese / French, so the muscles involved in speaking and the lips are tensed up (it’s kinda subconscious, one isn’t even aware of it) and a different sound placement is used, which is what gives these languages that different / modern sound, and this is something that one does automatically, it’s all controlled by the hern, and it’s really hard to explain how this works, but if one keeps trying to imitate the exact sounds one hears and tensing up the lips and muscles involved in speaking to different levels and if one tries different sound placements, one will get the right Danish accent eventually, and, with languages that use a non-relaxed pronunciation, I feel like it would be way easier to get the right accent if one knew all the words and the pronunciation of each word automatically, so, first learning all the words automatically, like, really automatically, and listening to the language a lot, while reading the subs, and then when getting to an upper intermediate or advanced level, trying to pronounce the words, and normally, pronunciation should improve naturally, once one knows a lot of the words automatically, so it takes a lot of revising and repeating, and also typing a lot in the language, to develop a muscle memory and reflexive memory, in addition to learning the words with their pronunciation automatically, and also listening to the language being spoken a lot, like, hearing each word hundreds of times, over a longer period of time, and then the pronunciation should come naturally, especially if one remembers to consciously tense up the lips and the muscles involved in speaking, and to not pronounce the words like in the first language that one was made to learn and trying different sound placements, until one gets the right sound and until new speaking habits are formed, and then it should all be like second nature!
I highly recommend focusing mostly on vocab, and learning hundreds and thousands of new words every regularly, while also regularly revising previously learnt words, many times, over a longer period of time, until every word can be instantly processed and automatically remembered, and memorizing as many lyrics as possible (for example, learning all the Skáld songs which are in many Norse / Germanic / Nordic languages and Nox songs such as Nem Lesz Több Danc) is also a great way to learn many new words and phrases in a fun way, and also, always watching every single video and movie with subs in the target languages, which are the best and most effective ways of languages many pretty and easy languages!
I use all these language learning techniques such as spaced repetition and memorizing lyrics and watching everything with subs etc, having over 50 target languages, and learning new words in about 15 of my target languages regularly and in some of the other target languages occasionally, and usually prioritizing about five languages the most, and I see a lot of progress fast, so, even though watching and rewatching vocab videos many times isn’t the most fun part about learning languages, it is definitely the most efficient and necessary!
@@thetrueoneandonlyladyprinc8038 WOW! Te nagyon tehetséges vagy, hogy ennyi nyelven beszelsz/tanulsz. Sokan vagyunk akik nem képesek egyetlen 1 nyelvet megtanulni. Én angol nyelvterületen élek már 23 éve, és még minding akad problémám (na, nem sok 😀)
I'm always impressed when anyone learns to speak English fluently. And add to that you are learning Hungarian which is a beast. Enjoyed this video.
amazing, I'll go to Szeged for studying classical music for this year, and i also would like to learn Hungarian, Your videos encouraged me ,thank you!
im trying to learn hungarian as a german speaker and all these words sound like they come from a different universe-
Hahah well said.
Ezt a véleményt dicséretnek veszem 😅
I also feel the same with german😢
Az érzés belülről jön, és nem véletlen.
Nagyon jól tudsz magyarul beszélni😁
You can talk hungary very well😁
I'd like to learn. My moms side is hungarian, and my pappy came from Hungary to the US. My dad's side is german.
I am impressed you took the time and effort to learn, being a native Hungarian/English speaker I have forgotten more than I care to think and still strive to keep my heritage alive.
Hello Oldman! Thank you so much! It's a difficult language that I have ben learning at home for some time living in Hungary.
@@FrederikCorneliustravel Hi! What's your great goal? The number one motivation learning the language?
Yes, I would like you to do a Hungarian language course! Also, how long did it take you to learn Hungarian? My favorite words in Hungarian: Egy sört szeretnék.
XD
I live in South- West Slovakia. I try to speak Hungarian to some of my collegues which speak Hungarian. We go shopping to Hungary from time to time and I try to speak Hungarian there. I listen to Hungarian songs and learned a Hungarian poem by heart....
Awesome video! I am taking a trip to Hungary this summer and want to be able to speak a bit of Hungarian!
I'm hungarian and it's just AMAZING how You love and learn hungarian language!! Respect to You and also thank You! And the tiny hungarian-danish badge on You is very cute! 😄
Brother, it's pretty obvious you love the language and the country. Much respect. 👊
Annyira megható volt az egész kis sete suta filmecske. Köszönjük!
Just a tip for video making: try to find fonts with accented letters. Now for emphasis is good but other times, it is annoying that it is not the same looking letter as the others. When you download them you can see which ones are in.
Pretty good video! Congrats on learning and using the language. I knew a few people that are living here and had been married for years and still didn't speak a word of Hungarian. So congrats! 👍
Great video! Thank you for speaking so nicely about our beautiful culture and language. I would like to just add that a part of the 'formal" language that we speak is much more intricate and respectful of elderly, and of people in higher positions. For instance a younger gentleman would say to an older woman "kezet csokolom" az a greeting. This means I kiss your hand. Also, my father didn't call his mom 'Anya" or "Anyu" he would say "Edesanya" which means sweet mother. Or you would ask someone "Hogy tetszik lenni/" which word for word means "how do you enjoy being/" or in other words "How are you" Just a few examples on how different we speak with elderly to show respect.
Nice video! Congratulations on your Hungarian, you speak it very nicely. Yes, please do a Hungarian language course, I'm pretty sure it will be appreciated by many. Thanks!
Thank you! Will do!
Hungarian heritage spsaker here. You, I think, are the first non-native/heritage speaker where I am actually impressed with your pronunciation! And I'm a phonetician, so I'm strict 😉
Nice video also good with all the examples
Thanks
if peopels talk about difficult language they think of Chines and Russian bacause the letter. Yeah thats also can make a language difficult but relly i born in Hungary i speak Hungarian and its still difficult so I am VERY impressed that you speak Hungarian so well.
Kedves Fred, gratulálok ! You are very sympathetic and your advice is useful. Keep up your excellent job!
I want to learn more , I'm mostly of Hungarian descent, three of my grandparents and father are from there. Yet I Don't speak because they weren't a part of my life, and my father came here so young he's not super fluent. Thanks for this
Very good, at the moment I'm in Hungary, in Szeged to study, I'm trying to learn to speak Hungarian and it's not easy at all but I'm enjoying the process
You are so lucky. Szeged is a fabulous city❤🇬🇧
Nice man! That’s my old city! Wonderful! Tell me if you need help with anything!
True
Cool . I love it ❤
Good job indeed Hungarian is different. Good for you sir!
This is the first video from someone who learns Hungarian but speaks in English for the whole time. You are giving general tips for language learners.
Thank you so much!
Very cool. It helps to be young and positive too.
Congrqtulation ! Welcome in Hungary! Enjoy urself here! Make video abot Denmark!😊
Thank you for the wonderful video and for appreciating the Hungarian language and culture. 😀
Our pleasure!
Very encouraging; thanks.
Én is tanitok magyart dánoknak - nehezen megy nekik, igaz, ôk Dániában élnek. Jól megtanultad a nyelvet, gratula! Godt gået!
Győr and a Danish guy - brings back memories :D
About 15 years ago, a Danish journalist was coming to Győr to do a story about the women's handball team, he asked my help to be some kind of fixer for him. Everything went fine, and before he left he admitted he had been worried about what kind of people and culture he would meet in the wild east :D
He had probably pictured donkey drawn carts, big hairy giants eating with bare hands in smoky restaurants :D
So I think it was a relief for him. It's just another nice European city.
I am Hungarian but my family left Hungary in 1956 and went to Australia and for some reason my nan didnt teach my mum Hungarian so I never learned it, I'm 14 and really like my heritage and want to learn it so this video is already helping ty
Luckily I can talk to my Hungarian friend, Nan and Great Grandmother
Ne add fel! Csodálatos örökséged van !
Szia! Sok sikert és kitartást a magyar nyelv tanuláshoz. 🙂
Hi Frederik!
Thank you so much for your interesting and genuine insights about hungarian language and culture in general.
I will visit Budapest soon, for the first time and I'm very excited for. Your content are really helping me a lot, thank you!, thank you again! :)
Btw, you mentioned in this video about hungarian music: what bands or artists do you recommend or you like most?
Thank you and keep sharing your good stuff! Rita x
great video! Also never try to eat wild chestnuts from the tree, it’s not what they are selling. roasted chestnuts are a different edible type called mild chestnuts (szelíd gesztenye). vadgesztenye is poisonousk
I like your hungarian pronunciation, it sounds so smooth and light, better than some native speakers'😄
Sok sikert és csak így tovább! - Good luck and keep it up!❤
Awesome video I suscribe, I am a peruvian math teacher whose father was Hungarian. Köszönöm szépen!
Amazing, thank you! We will make more
really good video
Thank you so much!
I'm currently in Subotica, Serbia, and a lot of Hungarian is spoken here. I remember seeing your videos when you played music here!
My Nana was Hungarian, born in mersevat and when she came to USA, met her husband, and started her family, her husband would not let her teach the kids the language because he didn't want his children to speak a language that he could not speak. Sadly the language in our family passed with her, but her chicken paprikash and her walnut and poppy seed rolls are still made by the family. I make it the best 😉. Her one remaining sister still lives in Budapest and I pray to meet her one day before she goes home to be with my nana.
🙏🙏
2:23 Also there is a more formal way: " Jó napot kívánok!" meaning "I wish you a good day". "Jó napot" is actually an abbreviation of that, but saying just "'Jó napot!" it totally fine.
Thanks for this video -- new to your channel.
I''ve been learning on and off using Duolingo but haven't really made a goal -- it's really just out of curiosity. In terms of favourite words, I laughed when I learned "bisztonságos" ("safe") because it's so long compared to English! It's very interesting seeing how the language works :)
Amazing
Thanks for editing and filming!
Jó Magyar és köszi!
Another tip: change the language settings on your phone to Magyar. One of my favourite magyar words: csirkepaprikás. Btw how do you like Hungarian foods?
I think learning the alphabet is one of the most important things. You should understand the special letters which are used in Hungarian, like sz, zs, gy, ty, dzs. It will help you to pronounce the words more easily in which these letters are used. Besides that, you will understand that these are single letters and not two separate ones.
1:04 megszentségteleníthetetlenségeskedéseitekért, yes, my favourite word as a hungarian 🇭🇺 👍
Ezt amúgy semmire se lehet használni.
@@krisztiankisbojti-yw5qx hát ez viszonylag igaz… de a suliban szoktuk mondogatni, pl: ‘megszentségteleníthetetlenségeskeitekért börtönbe kell zárnunk titeket’ vagy valami 😂
@@K4T_LUV3R are words normally this long?
@@Nacho-x5j no no, they are longer 😈 nah just kidding, lemme show u a hungarian sentance: “ma elmentem a boltba almákat venni, de pont kifogytak” (today i went to the store to buy apples, but they just sold out) hope this helps 😊
@@K4T_LUV3R Haha, I got scared for a moment. Well, that sentence seems more normal 😂 Thanks, mate! Greetings from Argentina! I'll be in your beautiful country in a few days
Igen a magyar egy nehéz nyelv!❤❤❤🎉
You speak Hungarian much better than I speak Danish. I'm so glad you've made so much progress, and I'm ashamed. It's true, all Danes prefer to speak to me in English, it's more convenient for them. It seems the Hungarians are more patient.
Interesting language to listen, so different from English. A culture channel of interviews is Frederickusz, hour long videos with cc autotranslate captions. Also, a story telling booktuber, Agi Szabados, has cc hungarian generated captions to hear the language🎉.😊
Hi! I LOVE YOUR VIDEO.
YOU SHOULD GIVE LESSONS TOO.
MY FAVOURITE WORD IS ZIV❤
Great suggestion!
Sir, your video is excellent I 'm Hungarian through my father. I took the trouble to learn Hungarian. Jo ejszakat. Andre BERENYI from France

My entire family is from Hungary and I don't speak it but I'm wanting to learn so much.
Wanting is easy and it leaves us all wanting. 🙂 Start it today. There's and Easy Hungarian series on TH-cam.
@joesiciliano2063 well what is it ?
Where do you live?
your kind words are deeply appreciated
My favorite word so far is Köszönöm and Vayok

it's hard to get perfect pronounciation on it though
Obavezno da krenes sa radom za besplatni kurs madjarskog jezika😊

"Sziasztok mindenkinek" is never used like this, just "Sziasztok" is enough.
I’m trying 😔
why? hello everyone seems like a pretty reasonable phrase as an english speaker. genuinely wondering
@@the0n3buc5uc
Because "sziasztok" is already plural. It's for everyone. Szia is hi, hello , just for one person.
@@andushka2768 ah i see, thank you. im also trying to learn hungarian but there are so few resources online compared to somethong like russian or german
@@the0n3buc5uc As @andushka2768 said "sziasztok" is already plural, but you can still use something like "Üdv (or üdvözlet) mindenkinek" which is more formal.
szép a kiejtésed😃
There is also slang words in Hungarian but we do prefer the formal way so pls do speak formally in Hungarian if you can or can learn to
Igen, mivel magyarország több szempontból is egy kicsit kilóg, és hát kis nemezet, emiatt az embereket általában pozitív értelemben meglepi, ha egy külföldről jött ember beszéli a nyelvet. Biztosan szlovákiában vagy szlovéniában is meglepődnének, ha elkezdenél helyi nyelven beszélni. Sok sikert magyarországon, vagy bárhová vigyen az élet!
I would likeit if You would make a Hungarin Course!
I’m starting to learn Hungarian and I am a little bit nervous because everybody says that it is a difficult language but I got relatives there so that is a good motivation😅… I guess. But also this is a great video thanks.
No sweat, it's difficult but not _that_ difficult once you start understanding the logic behind it. Have fun with your studies:)
Hello everyone! Its great to see that so many people from around the world want to learn Hungarian!
If there are any native Norwegian speaker who wants to learn Hungarian I would like to help you learn and practice Hungarian and I also want to learn Norwegian. So language exchange!
De jo! ❤️
Any reccomendations for hunarian movies and songs? a course would be great!
Yeah, Buek is a good one, also check Netflix they. have a lot.

as a hungarian, i can say köszönöm and jó napot was very good! but the s not always make an sz sound! i might think this is one of the hardest thing to learn in hungarian not the öüóőúűéá etc. s is like in mosdó. hard to remember it! i use duolingo to learn english!
and if you think, everything is cheap for hungarians, we are with a medium getting we get like 300.000 forint, so not much compare that 2000 is a movie.

Hi im Hungarian it's very difficult for hungarian peoples too learn the language .
Its very hard to learn 120 000 word .
In Hungary so many peoples who born in the country cant speak correctly .
you are very good at learning hungarian
and sorry for the wrong spelling
Nagyon rossz a Google fordítás😕
I commend you for your achievements in learning to speak Hungarian. One recommendation: please pronounce Budapest correctly.
