Native Hungarian speaker here. I’m only two and a half minutes in but I’m absolutely impressed by your pronunciation skills and the way you could distinct between a and á as well as figuring out how sz is the English s sound and s is the English sh. You pronounced the word éjszakát like a native speaker, I'm not kidding. Serious language skills, mate, one can definitely tell this is not your first time studying a foreign language. Well done, bravo!
How to say "eat" in Hungarian: esz eszek eszik esznek eszünk esztek ennék enne ennél ennénk ennének ennétek egyél egyen egyek együnk egyetek egyenek (and i still left some out)
Hungarian is one of the most difficult courses in Duolingo I would say. When other languages are still teaching you basic vocabs, Hungarian is already throwing at you complex sentences in the very first lessons.
You've got the point here. Once I tried to "challange" myself and tried it on duolingo. Since I'm native I tried to check how good I am already. Failed it completely 😂 ah, I so ❤ szósorrend... so in the end I started it from the begining and had to face it with pedig and hanem??? I even forgot how I can translste it in that moment. 😂
@@Aurea_Borealis I've tried it too. IMO a Hungarian native can't finish this course. There were so many things that I would never say in the way it was expected in the answers🤣
As a Hugarian I want to congratulate you because you are just EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD. Your pronunciation is like you are born as a second language hungarian, you know, one parent is a blood born hungarian. I dont know its because you "learnt" so much languages before or because you are just a wizard or something, but you are just so good its scary. I cant believe you have done this video in live for the first time. You needed to first do it before then record it, because its so hard its literally ALMOST impossible to understand the connections in the language. Im not saying it for a bad reason, im just that impressed about how effortlessly you handled one of the hardest languages in the world.. köszi haver, nagyon ügyes vagy! 🎉❤
I am from Germany and have been living in Hungary for two years. So as someone who knows a few european languages I can totally relate to your confusion haha. At the beginning it took me so long to remember words and understand sentence structures... so I am really impressed by how quickly you got it!
As an Austro-Hungarian, who grew up in Austria and only learned Hungarian by hearing/using it for 2 weeks yearly during summer break when we visited the Hungarian part of the family, this was a fascinating video. I never learned the language in a school setting, so no thoughts were used to think about grammar, sentence structure or similar things and wow, i never realized how many "strange" quirks this language has.
@@jccbm Yeah, because it's technically not an European language :) As far as I can tell, what you had the most trouble with, are the agglutinative nature of our language with all those affixes and combined words. I was laughing when you were trying to take apart/theorize some words in the wrong way, like "rendőr" (rend = order, őr = guard). Or "titkárnő" which has it's roots in the word "titok" (= secret) similar to English - so as the language being vowel harmonic, you can't just mash words together, the "-ár" affix will result in titkár and you can leave it at that or put "nő" after it if you want to specify that you're talking about a female secretary. Actually this affix is pretty much similar in usage with the English one when you describe an occupation or something you're proficient in (like in listen - listener).
Your pronunciation is exceptionally good, like at least ten times better than foreigners I know that lives here for 20+ years - and it seems to be effortless too. That's a real talent right here :)
IT WAS SO EFFORTLESS And he has a very similar voice to my uncle, i thought he was undercover as you Your "pedig" was a bit clunky, but that was SO PERFECT
Fun fact:it takes a foreigner on average 15 years to learn hungarian to fluency ,this doesn't account for background,as no matter where you're from,it will still be exaclty as hard to learn the gulyás language Edit: also hungarian separates it's vowels into two categories,long and short,short=a,e,i,o,ö,ü,u,and long=á,é,í,ó,ő,ű,ú and back and front vowels,front vowels=e,é,i,í,ö,ő,ü,ű and back vowels=a,á,o,ó,u,ú,this is an important part of grammar as hungarian has vowel harmony,so when you add a suffix,it has to have the right vowel,so for exemple hal is fish,but halad is your fish(hal+ad),and ember is human,but embered is your human(ember+ED)
To make it even more spicy, we don't even use this vowel harmony consistently. Like, út means road but if it's yours then it's utad - BUT hús means meat, but when it's yours it't húsod (note the difference in accents, too - it's not a typo). Similarly, híd (bridge)-> hidad (your bridge). They aren't even the same vowel group. I really have no idea how other people can learn this mess of a language. It also makes _us_ harder to learn English, since there are so many differences in grammar.
@@Dicska Actually, for me, the most tricky thing was to fully understand the social ladder built into the Hungarian language. As a foreigner one can sound super rude just by accident. Like saying "mit kérsz?" instead of "mit tetszik kívánni?" when you mean "what do you want?" to an unknown or elderly person, or also from a man to a woman. You can say "maga mit kér?", and the words are all polite, the grammar is correct, but the whole phrase sounds frightfully aggressive. But then again, if you say "mit tetszik kérni?" to a small child or a pet, then it sounds absolutely ridiculous.
@@thomaskolb8785Even as a native speaker, sometimes I just try to weave sentences in a way that it doesn't reflect the social aspect and just say "Mivel szolgálhatok?"/"Mit adhatok?" because I have no idea, either. But yeah, this is why I get taken aback when English people order stuff and they just go like, "I want an almond croissant". However, being exceedingly polite with 4 year olds is totally funny AND cute.
@@Dicska Híd contains a velar i, which existed as a separate sound in Hungarian, and was given a deep vowel when conjugated. This sound has disappeared from the language, but the suffix vowel remained :)
I'm learning Hungarian now and I have to say I hate that I didn't find your channel earlier!!! You are extremely observant and your tips of learning languages are amazing... I'm so jealous of your skills and I gotta binge watch all your Duolinguo speedrun videos from now
This was so fun to watch, thank you so much! As a native Hungarian who speaks Finnish as well, I would rather say that these languages are relatively close to each other... I mean it was really easy for me to learn the basics of Finnish as a Hungarian since both are Finno-Ugric languages. However, these languages had been separated so early in time that we could not kinda "create" anything in common, except basic words and very similar pronunciation. In terms of pronunciation, we always get the feedback that anyone who hears us speaking Hungarian thinks we are speaking Finnish with a very weird accent, but when they are trying to pay more attention, they realize that it is just not possible for them to understand anything from Hungarian at all. It is really funny, especially when we get this from native Finnish people... :D
I'm glad to hear it was fun! Hungarian was awesome, Finnish I don't remember much but it's always been a language that catches my interest. But I know they both have very rare and interesting properties!
You probably don't know this but it's crazy funny you chose Margit for the wheel sequence. Margit is an ancient Hungarian female name 😂 (Marika as well for all you Elden Ring fans)
Im gonna be one of all the Hungarians who commented on this video, but I think I can speak for everyone, that it is so heartwarming that you actually spent time learning our language! Also, I always find it fascinating how foreign learners memorize the words, the associations you made made me think in so many different ways about my native language. Thank you for this video, and thank you for all the efforts you made!
Yeah, it's a pity that some Hungarians chose to wipe their asses with my effort and lost time and responded to English either way, completely ignoring my desire to speak with them in Hungarian. No matter, how hard I can try, I will be "just another tourist" to some people. Although luckily, those were just few people, but it still needs to be mentioned I think.
@@RichieLarpa Sorry to hear that... but look at it this way: if a hungarian hears you speaking hungarian, and feels like you are struggling only a littlebit, it is just a polite reflex to answer in your native language. Most of hungarians speak at least 2 foreign languages. We are weird like that. Polite from our side, rude from your side... I can see why. Thanx for sharing! Köszönöm, hogy megosztottad ezt velünk!
This was really fun to watch, although I think some precision would be welcome in Duolingo! What's important to remember is that Hungarian is an "agglutinative" language, which means that we add suffixes at the end of words to give a precise meaning of how they're used in a sentence. So, for example, "bort" and "vizet" aren't the actual words for "wine" and "water" (those are "víz" and "bor"), but they are "conjugated" as such because they are the object in their sentences. For example, if you went on the water, you'd say "vízen", if you took a swim IN the water, you'd say "vízbe", if you cook pasta WITH water it's "vízzel", and actually quite a lot more cases. Also, the verb "to be" (Lenni, én vagyok, te vagy, etc), is slightly confusing, because while it mainly means "to be", the third person is generally omitted (as in, You'd for example say "This is wine-> ez bor, He/she is a teacher -> ő tanár, they are police officers -> ők rendőrök), the third person singular is actually confusingly used to convey possession ("to have"). So, for example, "I have wine" would translate to "Van borom" (litterally "There is my wine"), but "you have wine" would be "Van borod" ("there is your wine"), "Houston, we have a problem" would be "Houston, van egy problémánk" (litt. Houston, there is an Our Problem) as per the agglutinative language.This is part of what makes Hungarian so damn hard. Apart from that, some phrases on Duolingo made me smile a bit because you just wouldn't ever say them like that in reality, we would never casually state that something is not an apple but a car.
I'm Hungarian and your pronunciation is so good. It was so funny to hear my name pronounced correctly, too, since I'm used to people struggling with it even after repeating it. My mom has been doing Duolingo Turkish and there are a few similar words she's noticed between Hungarian & Turkish. Thanks for the fun video!
Actually, there are a lot of logical things. Rend= order, őr=guard, rendőr= policeman so rendőr is like the keeper of order. Also ügyvéd: ügy= case, business, véd= protects, defends Ügyvéd= lawyer= defends the case
It seems to me, with the little exposure I've had to the Hungarian language, that's it's quite a logical and structured language. A bit complex, but logical nonetheless.
You hit the nail on the head with the 'kicsi'. I looked it up in an etimological dictionary, and it is, indeed, a word of ancient turkish origin. Also you passed the gy-test, nice pronounciation. :)
I think he's from Venezuela, and some South American Spanish dialects pronounce "ll" very similarly to our "gy". Like "Medegyín" (Medellín in Colombia) :D

Omg as a hungarian this was halarious to watch!😂 (I cant spell sry about that-) Btw how you said the words is literally netural like omg you sounded completely hungarian for me🥲❤️
I love watching foreign people trying to speak Hungarian But you made it even funnier with how many similarities you're drawing to English words that I never realized
You're a fast learner and you have a way better pronunciation than most people (even after years of practice). Btw., AFAIK Hungarian is the second hardest language after Japanese, so big congratulations to you!👏
Depends on the student's mothertounge. Both hungarian and japanese are agglutinative languages with a foreign phonetic inventory, free world order and five different tenses for politeness, but hungarian at least is commonly written in the latin alphabet, and includes technical language of greek, latin turkish and german origin. Japanese has its own alphabet, and has technical language mostly derived from chinese. But for a chinese speaker, japanese would probably be wastly simpler to learn.
I eyed with your video for some time. Yt always put it in my feed and I eventually gave in. The thumbnail is just too good 😂 Your impression on Hungarian words, and your flair for languages was really interesting to watch! Also, I'm glad that Duolingo updated those sentences for better ones. Some of them even sounded weird to me although it is technically Hungarian.
this "it sounds nothing like what i'm used to" applies to us trying to learn another language too lol. for me personally, the vastly different vocab, the fixed sentence structures, and the sheer amount of prepositions were the hardest about learning english
As a Hungarian, you have ruined the word titkárnő for me for all eternity now 😂 Seriously though, spectacular job! You have mastered the pronounciation of some of our trickier letters quicker than I have ever seen from any foreigner.
This was so much fun to watch! Thank you for learning some Hungarian too, because there aren't much foreigners who can pronounce Hungarian words like this! :D
As a Hungarian, all I have to say is that your pronunciation is amazing and I've never seen someone pronuncing and studying Hungarian as well like you do. Im impressed. This video was a lot of fun!!
You were right kicsi is a turkish loan word from several thousend years ago. There is a sentence which is almost the same: "zsebemben sok kicsi alma van" ( in my pocket there are many small apples). While "eleven hal úszik a víz alatt" is almost the same as in finnic. Fun fact: in the 13th century several tribes spoke hungarian, got wiped out after mongol invasion. Some uralic language show resemblence, in the finno-ugric family. During centuries Hungarian took many latin, german and slavic words, however due to the agglutinative structure the language remained very stable. We can understand old-hungarian scripts from 900 years ago, while its barely the case for german languages.
Cebimde çok küçük elmalar var. wow It has a lot in common with Turkish. Even the way they form sentences is similar. Ben / én , Benim/Enyém Bánya, Ben de / én is, nekem is
I really liked the movie memes 🤣 As a Hungarian, I was terribly surprised that your pronunciation is so good. I've been learning English for 20 years, but my pronunciation will probably never be as good as your Hungarian pronunciation🎉
Finally! That stream was golden! Unfortunately I had visits at home, so I couldn't follow everything.Hungarian has a special place on my heart, even if I don't understand it, I still love hearing it from time to time. It is a beautiful language for my ears. I am even subscribed to some hungarian YT channels. I will learn it on future: I have my hands full with languages now. I also would like to use this comment to thank you for being a good inspiration for me. Before I knew your channel I thought duo was an useless and trashy time-waster. Look at me now: I am using Duolingo to learn ukrainian! I understood that it is a nice way to breakthrough the basic grammar and learn some few words. You won't be fluent at the end, but you unlocked the language system and can continue with no major chokes from there. It's just a sad situation that duo has Latin and Modern Greek, but no Ancient Greek.....
I have no clue where you are from, this is the first video I've ever seen from you, but I have many colleagues that tried to pronounce hungarian words and they always butchered them. However your pronunciation sounds pretty impressive from the get go.
As a Hungarian, it was great to see how well you did despite the difficulty of the language. Your pronunciation is perfect, as if you are a native Hungarian!
ENG As a Hungarian I smiled through the whole video. Your pronunciation is excellent! I never thought about the connection between 'tit' and 'titkárnő'. Thank you very much! May the Force be with you. HUN Magyarként végigmosolyogtam az egész videót. A kiejtésed kiváló! Sosem gondoltam a 'tit' és a 'titkárnő' közötti kapcsolatra. Köszönöm szépen! Az Erő legyen veled.
14:44 actually, both would be correct, but the nuance is different. Hungarian grammar may seem weird compared to English and many other languages, because there isn't a specific order for the parts of the sentence, instead they are put in the order of importance. So if an object is the focus of the sentence, you start with a noun. If the thing that happens is the most important, you start the sentence with a verb. If the person involved is the focus, then you start with the pronoun. And if a trait is the most important, you start with an adjective.
When I started learning Hungarian I also remembered ‘bent’ for inside by associating it with the fact that inside is where one would most likely get bent 😅
Technically you can exchange "benn" with "bent", we mostly use the first one as the t in the end is often swallowed. That might help with the bent situation :D
14:09 Very good observation! 'Kicsi' (small) came from the Old Turks to Hungarian (not exactly in this form, of course), like many other words. For example, the 'alma' (apple) that is often mentioned here, also has Old Turkic roots.
I used to teach Hungarian to foreigners on the side with proper grammar and so on (there were students of multiple different nationalities). I've never heard anybody with that good of a pronounciation from the get go!!! (Although never had a finno-ugorian student). Slavic people can have an advantage for Slavic loanwords, but they are completely disadvantaged with the vowels, so what you're showing is truly impressive
Thanks for making this, I was always curious about Hungarian but never started learning it since EVERYONE says "learn popular languages, not languages spoken in only 1 country". And tbh they are right so I just thought I'll leave Hungarian for later, it is a very hard language, but I want to be able to say that the woman is above and the man i- ... you got it
Glad you enjoyed it! I always encourage people to learn whatever they want, doesn't matter if 1.4 billion people speak it or just a couple thousand. Maybe it's less useful, but it's often more fun.
english is not difficult for me, cause im speaking it since i was a child im polish and im learning russian, czech and german but i cant learn hungarian😭
Just do it, the sooner you start the better. Time goes past us anyway. This day could pass by on its own or you could learn 1 Hungarian word or rule or something before the end of today.
As a Hungarian, how on earth did you Learn that Fast? Honestly, mine is f*cking easy since i was In School. Not that hard but i DEFINITELY Recommend you could Learn Hungarian Anytime if you want. Köszi (Thanks)
As a Hungarian, I have to say that you did really well! Your pronounciation is amazing and you have a good feeling for the language! However, yes, Hungarian is unlike any other languages, so it is difficult to learn it if it is not your native language. That is why we like seeing people trying to speak it, as we know that it takes a lot of effort to learn it! I am so proud of you, I hope that you will keep learning it!
coming from a Hungarian, this is crazy impressive, even I have a hard time with the language and it was my mother tongue too lol. you have such good pronunciation.
@@jccbm Yeah it means "Storage water heater for sale". The meme came to be because people used to try to sell storage water heaters on the internet by spamming comment sections. In rural areas they were commonly used back in the 90s and 2000s. Less so today, as most people have either gas boilers or some other electric heating that provides warm water without having to store it, hence why people were trying to sell them as they were no longer needed.
It was so much fun watching and listening to this video. I am a Hungarian learning English for so long now. Sometimes my thoughts are in English, sometimes in Hungarian and most of the times its mixed. Like in the video. Often I can't even tell the difference, like watching a movie in English and I'm a 100% sure it was in Hungarian after watching it. It leads to funny situations.
As another fellow Hungarian, I approve that our langauge is even hard for us sometimes. But you are just scratching the surface of the iceberg for now... Mad respect for actually doing this!
As a hungarian it was really good to watch it with my friend! Ur pronounciason or how do u spell it was really good i think its a really hard language so u are the best!
Same here. I had so much fun watching this. Great skills and editing. Bravo Tit meat. As a Hungarian I will never be able to forget that association :D
@@jccbm I think it actually might have the same root meaning as in English. Secret/titok (just chopped to titk), the -ár part makes it the person dealing with it (it is used for other words as well, like bank=bank, while bankár is anyone working in a bank), and the nő is for women. And thinking about it, that root meaning makes sense, since the secretary is the keeper of important secrets. It is sometimes hard to get to the root and undarstand the logic of some words, but can also be a fun logic game. Which we Hungarians actually have to do in our language classes in school. Also for Zsuzsa, zs is "one" letter here in both occourances, so it is Zs+u+zs+a. One easier thing in Hungarian is we try to pronounce everything we write, and write everything we pronounce. Also every letter is always pronounced the same way. If you learn the alphabet, this simple rule can help a lot.
"Vagy" means "you are"/ "or". It depends on the sentence which one we are thinking of. We have lot of words like this. "Ég" means "burning" or "sky". "Levél" means "letter" or "leaf". "Toll" means "pen" or "feather". We spell these words the same way, so you can't hear any difference between "ég" (as burning) és "ég" (as sky).
Hi! I am a Hungarian person, and I have to say you have a really good talent at languages. You pronounced the words so greatly and clearly, so it's impressive! I have a little speech defect, so maybe you even was better than me, I don't know to be honest😅

Fun fact:it takes a foreigner on average 15 years to learn hungarian to fluency ,this doesn't account for background,as no matter where you're from,it will still be exaclty as hard to learn the gulyás language
Edit: also hungarian separates it's vowels into two categories,long and short,short=a,e,i,o,ö,ü,u,and long=á,é,í,ó,ő,ű,ú and back and front vowels,front vowels=e,é,i,í,ö,ő,ü,ű and back vowels=a,á,o,ó,u,ú,this is an important part of grammar as hungarian has vowel harmony,so when you add a suffix,it has to have the right vowel,so for exemple hal is fish,but halad is your fish(hal+ad),and ember is human,but embered is your human(ember+ED)
Spanish be like: "WTF are you even talking about"
To make it even more spicy, we don't even use this vowel harmony consistently. Like, út means road but if it's yours then it's utad - BUT hús means meat, but when it's yours it't húsod (note the difference in accents, too - it's not a typo). Similarly, híd (bridge)-> hidad (your bridge). They aren't even the same vowel group. I really have no idea how other people can learn this mess of a language. It also makes _us_ harder to learn English, since there are so many differences in grammar.
@@Dicska Actually, for me, the most tricky thing was to fully understand the social ladder built into the Hungarian language. As a foreigner one can sound super rude just by accident.
Like saying "mit kérsz?" instead of "mit tetszik kívánni?" when you mean "what do you want?" to an unknown or elderly person, or also from a man to a woman. You can say "maga mit kér?", and the words are all polite, the grammar is correct, but the whole phrase sounds frightfully aggressive. But then again, if you say "mit tetszik kérni?" to a small child or a pet, then it sounds absolutely ridiculous.
@@thomaskolb8785Even as a native speaker, sometimes I just try to weave sentences in a way that it doesn't reflect the social aspect and just say "Mivel szolgálhatok?"/"Mit adhatok?" because I have no idea, either.
But yeah, this is why I get taken aback when English people order stuff and they just go like, "I want an almond croissant".
However, being exceedingly polite with 4 year olds is totally funny AND cute.
@@Dicska Híd contains a velar i, which existed as a separate sound in Hungarian, and was given a deep vowel when conjugated. This sound has disappeared from the language, but the suffix vowel remained :)
I'm learning Hungarian now and I have to say I hate that I didn't find your channel earlier!!! You are extremely observant and your tips of learning languages are amazing... I'm so jealous of your skills and I gotta binge watch all your Duolinguo speedrun videos from now
This was so fun to watch, thank you so much!
As a native Hungarian who speaks Finnish as well, I would rather say that these languages are relatively close to each other... I mean it was really easy for me to learn the basics of Finnish as a Hungarian since both are Finno-Ugric languages. However, these languages had been separated so early in time that we could not kinda "create" anything in common, except basic words and very similar pronunciation. In terms of pronunciation, we always get the feedback that anyone who hears us speaking Hungarian thinks we are speaking Finnish with a very weird accent, but when they are trying to pay more attention, they realize that it is just not possible for them to understand anything from Hungarian at all. It is really funny, especially when we get this from native Finnish people... :D
I'm glad to hear it was fun! Hungarian was awesome, Finnish I don't remember much but it's always been a language that catches my interest. But I know they both have very rare and interesting properties!
You probably don't know this but it's crazy funny you chose Margit for the wheel sequence. Margit is an ancient Hungarian female name 😂 (Marika as well for all you Elden Ring fans)
I've gotten a handful of comments about it, but I didn't know before! Happy coincidence
Im gonna be one of all the Hungarians who commented on this video, but I think I can speak for everyone, that it is so heartwarming that you actually spent time learning our language! Also, I always find it fascinating how foreign learners memorize the words, the associations you made made me think in so many different ways about my native language.
Thank you for this video, and thank you for all the efforts you made!
Yeah, it's a pity that some Hungarians chose to wipe their asses with my effort and lost time and responded to English either way, completely ignoring my desire to speak with them in Hungarian. No matter, how hard I can try, I will be "just another tourist" to some people. Although luckily, those were just few people, but it still needs to be mentioned I think.
I'm learning Hungarian! Listen: "Ugggaaa OOOOO OOOO UGUGUGUGUGUGAA!!"
@@RichieLarpa Sorry to hear that... but look at it this way: if a hungarian hears you speaking hungarian, and feels like you are struggling only a littlebit, it is just a polite reflex to answer in your native language. Most of hungarians speak at least 2 foreign languages. We are weird like that. Polite from our side, rude from your side... I can see why. Thanx for sharing! Köszönöm, hogy megosztottad ezt velünk!
You certainly speak for me 👍
@@BozgorSlayer Probably you were smoking some stuff along that because you seem like coughing a lot.
This was really fun to watch, although I think some precision would be welcome in Duolingo! What's important to remember is that Hungarian is an "agglutinative" language, which means that we add suffixes at the end of words to give a precise meaning of how they're used in a sentence. So, for example, "bort" and "vizet" aren't the actual words for "wine" and "water" (those are "víz" and "bor"), but they are "conjugated" as such because they are the object in their sentences. For example, if you went on the water, you'd say "vízen", if you took a swim IN the water, you'd say "vízbe", if you cook pasta WITH water it's "vízzel", and actually quite a lot more cases. Also, the verb "to be" (Lenni, én vagyok, te vagy, etc), is slightly confusing, because while it mainly means "to be", the third person is generally omitted (as in, You'd for example say "This is wine-> ez bor, He/she is a teacher -> ő tanár, they are police officers -> ők rendőrök), the third person singular is actually confusingly used to convey possession ("to have"). So, for example, "I have wine" would translate to "Van borom" (litterally "There is my wine"), but
"you have wine" would be "Van borod" ("there is your wine"), "Houston, we have a problem" would be "Houston, van egy problémánk" (litt. Houston, there is an Our Problem) as per the agglutinative language.This is part of what makes Hungarian so damn hard. Apart from that, some phrases on Duolingo made me smile a bit because you just wouldn't ever say them like that in reality, we would never casually state that something is not an apple but a car.
This is why I hate Hungarian, NOTHING depends on context, it's just so weird to wrap my head around it
That "Sétálsz" = Shake that *ss is killed me :D Well done dude, You have a very good pronunciation! Szép munka! ;)
I'm Hungarian and your pronunciation is so good. It was so funny to hear my name pronounced correctly, too, since I'm used to people struggling with it even after repeating it. My mom has been doing Duolingo Turkish and there are a few similar words she's noticed between Hungarian & Turkish. Thanks for the fun video!
Actually, there are a lot of logical things.
Rend= order,
őr=guard,
rendőr= policeman so rendőr is like the keeper of order.
Also ügyvéd:
ügy= case, business,
véd= protects, defends
Ügyvéd= lawyer= defends the case
It seems to me, with the little exposure I've had to the Hungarian language, that's it's quite a logical and structured language. A bit complex, but logical nonetheless.

You hit the nail on the head with the 'kicsi'. I looked it up in an etimological dictionary, and it is, indeed, a word of ancient turkish origin.
Also you passed the gy-test, nice pronounciation. :)
I think he's from Venezuela, and some South American Spanish dialects pronounce "ll" very similarly to our "gy". Like "Medegyín" (Medellín in Colombia) :D

You're a fast learner and you have a way better pronunciation than most people (even after years of practice). Btw., AFAIK Hungarian is the second hardest language after Japanese, so big congratulations to you!👏
Thanks! It's hard to rank languages in difficulty, but I can see how both of them are significantly harder than other languages.
Depends on the student's mothertounge. Both hungarian and japanese are agglutinative languages with a foreign phonetic inventory, free world order and five different tenses for politeness, but hungarian at least is commonly written in the latin alphabet, and includes technical language of greek, latin turkish and german origin. Japanese has its own alphabet, and has technical language mostly derived from chinese. But for a chinese speaker, japanese would probably be wastly simpler to learn.
I eyed with your video for some time. Yt always put it in my feed and I eventually gave in. The thumbnail is just too good 😂 Your impression on Hungarian words, and your flair for languages was really interesting to watch! Also, I'm glad that Duolingo updated those sentences for better ones. Some of them even sounded weird to me although it is technically Hungarian.

Well done! Bent vagy in the Hungarians heart now :)
You were right kicsi is a turkish loan word from several thousend years ago. There is a sentence which is almost the same: "zsebemben sok kicsi alma van" ( in my pocket there are many small apples). While "eleven hal úszik a víz alatt" is almost the same as in finnic. Fun fact: in the 13th century several tribes spoke hungarian, got wiped out after mongol invasion. Some uralic language show resemblence, in the finno-ugric family. During centuries Hungarian took many latin, german and slavic words, however due to the agglutinative structure the language remained very stable. We can understand old-hungarian scripts from 900 years ago, while its barely the case for german languages.
Cebimde çok küçük elmalar var. wow It has a lot in common with Turkish. Even the way they form sentences is similar. Ben / én , Benim/Enyém Bánya, Ben de / én is, nekem is
I really liked the movie memes 🤣 As a Hungarian, I was terribly surprised that your pronunciation is so good. I've been learning English for 20 years, but my pronunciation will probably never be as good as your Hungarian pronunciation🎉
Finally! That stream was golden! Unfortunately I had visits at home, so I couldn't follow everything.Hungarian has a special place on my heart, even if I don't understand it, I still love hearing it from time to time. It is a beautiful language for my ears. I am even subscribed to some hungarian YT channels. I will learn it on future: I have my hands full with languages now.
I also would like to use this comment to thank you for being a good inspiration for me. Before I knew your channel I thought duo was an useless and trashy time-waster. Look at me now: I am using Duolingo to learn ukrainian!
I understood that it is a nice way to breakthrough the basic grammar and learn some few words. You won't be fluent at the end, but you unlocked the language system and can continue with no major chokes from there. It's just a sad situation that duo has Latin and Modern Greek, but no Ancient Greek.....

14:44 actually, both would be correct, but the nuance is different.
Hungarian grammar may seem weird compared to English and many other languages, because there isn't a specific order for the parts of the sentence, instead they are put in the order of importance. So if an object is the focus of the sentence, you start with a noun. If the thing that happens is the most important, you start the sentence with a verb. If the person involved is the focus, then you start with the pronoun. And if a trait is the most important, you start with an adjective.
Jccbm you are one of the best youtubers/streamers!
That's a bold statement. But thanks!
That "jó napot kívánok" was perfect
That "nem kérek" the power by Aragorn was hilarious because it was kinda wrong but Aragorn was very cute to say that :D

@@jccbm Yeah it means "Storage water heater for sale". The meme came to be because people used to try to sell storage water heaters on the internet by spamming comment sections. In rural areas they were commonly used back in the 90s and 2000s. Less so today, as most people have either gas boilers or some other electric heating that provides warm water without having to store it, hence why people were trying to sell them as they were no longer needed.

Tit meat. As a Hungarian I will never be able to forget that association :D
Thanks! I won't forget it either 🤣🤣🤣
@@jccbm I think it actually might have the same root meaning as in English.
Secret/titok (just chopped to titk), the -ár part makes it the person dealing with it (it is used for other words as well, like bank=bank, while bankár is anyone working in a bank), and the nő is for women.
And thinking about it, that root meaning makes sense, since the secretary is the keeper of important secrets.
It is sometimes hard to get to the root and undarstand the logic of some words, but can also be a fun logic game. Which we Hungarians actually have to do in our language classes in school.
Also for Zsuzsa, zs is "one" letter here in both occourances, so it is Zs+u+zs+a. One easier thing in Hungarian is we try to pronounce everything we write, and write everything we pronounce. Also every letter is always pronounced the same way. If you learn the alphabet, this simple rule can help a lot.
"Vagy" means "you are"/ "or". It depends on the sentence which one we are thinking of. We have lot of words like this. "Ég" means "burning" or "sky". "Levél" means "letter" or "leaf". "Toll" means "pen" or "feather". We spell these words the same way, so you can't hear any difference between "ég" (as burning) és "ég" (as sky).
