    Felfázás means cystitis and yeah, that can happen to you, i had the "pleasure" it's not the most comfortable thing. You have to go to bathroom often and when you pee it stings.

    Greetings from Hungary :)
    I'd add some back info to some of the topics you mentioned, becouse they pop up in several of these videos.
    1. The cold bench thing: "felfázni" refers not in general catching cold, but to get a general sickness to you urogenital system (NOT including sexual infection!). It mostly contextual (but not only) for girls, becouse their urogenital system is shorter, that makes it easier to cool down below a certain temperature, which helps infectous germs to take over.
    2. The toilet thing: That "bench" you mentioned may make the restroom somewhat smellier (just use ventillation: open the window), but it prevents splashbacks, when you drop the "substance". By doing this it lessens the chance of crossinfection. ;)

    3:06 I'd say it's not actually true.
    In towns and cities you don't greet random people ofcourse, but in villages, you greet everyone, even if you don't know them. It's rude not to do that.

    I'm Hungarian and I'm impressed how PERFECT your Hungarian accent was! What surprised me even more that you were able to say the same sentence in two different accents... man, you were playing with them with ease! That means you must have a pretty good grasp of Hungarian sounds. You're more than capable of mastering our language without an accent if you want. Keep up the good work! Well done! :)

    Toilets: the platforms are there to avoid the "spalsh" effect if ya know what i mean. Its not a Hungarian thing, these kind of toilets are all over Europe. Smoking is a thing, also common everywhere in the former eastern bloc countries.
    And i also have to mention: I have never heard any native english speaker pronouncing Hungarian words so well, you have a talent for languages.

    About the greetings of random people... if a stranger greets us without any reason on the street, we mostly think to ourselves: 'who the heck was that?'
    And we don't use 'how do you do' as a greeting, we only use it if we're actually interested in the other person's well-being, otherwise it just seems like a shallow, useless question.

  • @jlu3ai
    @jlu3ai 4 года назад +33

    Wow, your accent is spot on. Not just the sounds but also the stress in the sentence as well. It's rare to hear from a foreigner.

    When I lived in the UK, it took me a while to get used to the "Hi, how you doin'?" and "Hi, how are you?" and "Hi, all right?" due to the thing you just mentioned. When I moved back home, it took me a while to stop doing the same in hungarian.

    It is very much so with the offering something to drink or to eat. I remember my grandma whenever we went visiting her and didn´t tell her, she was actually angry with us why we came. If she by coincidence had cooked something, it was OK for us visiting her but if not...oh boy :D

    Guys! Ez a srac biztos, hogy Magyarorszagon szuletett, itt elhetett egy darabig, majd kisgyerekkent az Usaba koltozhetett es ott nott fel. Mert angolt es angol kiejtest meg lehet ilyen szintre tanulni. De ekte amerikaikent nem lenne kepes 5 ev Mo-n eles utan sem ilyen pontos kiejtessel beszelni magyarul. Mashogyan kepzik a hangokat teljesen. Egy amerikai nem kepes kiejteni helyesen peldaul az “o” “ó” “ö” “ő” hangokat. Meg sem tudja kulonboztetni oket. Marmint nem hallja a kulonbseget igazan. Na mindegy. Ezek mind nem baj, csak mondom, mert latom, hogy mindenki absolutely amazed, surprised, impressed. 😀 (Erdekelne a real sztori es nem akartam smarty-nak tunni, de eltem az Usaban, vannak amerikai barataim, vigyaztam magyar szulok amerikaban szuletett gyermekeire es magyar anyukatol-amerikai apukatol szuletett amcsi gyerekekre is. Ezert vagyok biztos benne.) Egyebkent nagyon intelligens sracnak tunik. Peace out! ✌🏻🙃

    Felfázni actually means "to catch a chill" and it isn't a cold, but in fact, a UTI (urinary tract infection) or bladder infection. Basically you have to pee every 5 minutes. It definitely could happen from exposing your lower parts to cold.

    @stevekeserii3935 4 года назад +2

    Great video! Your Hungarian is amazing. You're right about the "hi, how are you"'s: you suppose to have a previous relationship with somebody to ask about their well-being, and then they will give you a detailed answer, not just a simple"I'm fine thanks". I'm living in Toronto, Ontario. I use to teach Hungarian classes for Canadians, and I know it's pretty hard for a native English speaker to learn Hungarian.

    4:39 if it was in tomato sauce, then I think you got it mixed up with "töltött paprika" stuffed peppers, which is also stuffed with meat-rice balls. "Töltött káposzta" or stuffed cabbage is without tomato sauce, and might be red if they used paprika.

    The cash thing is about cheating on taxes, its gradually getting better but some taxes on small buisnesses are so stupidly designed that u cant run a buisness if u pay everything the way you should. So its just way harder too keep track of cash thats why they rather use cash than creditcards.

    Speaking of the engagement rings: You forgot to mention that we are wearing the wedding band during the engagement period, vs in the U.S you guys do not do that, girls only wearing the other ring. When I lived there, all my American friends thought at first that I was married, because I was wearing my band too.... :) Just a little detail to add to your fun facts ;) Good job, btw, and amazing pronunciation!!!
