I started learning Hungarian and I wanted to watch videos in a comprehensive way. Glad I found this video. I'd like to see more videos like this!! Köszönöm :)
Szia :) Thanks a lot for the video. Just followed you. Been trying to learn Hungarian for a while but the books I've found are rubbish. Keep up the good work. Love your English and the fura parts of the vid haha. Any rec for conversational hungarian is welcome. Jo napot!!!
@@YaraVega-e3e Nagyon szépen köszönöm! 😁🙂 I'm glad you found it useful and funny 😁 For conversational recommendations check out my shadowing videos (there are 4 of them as of today), and I have 2 videos with dialogues. Also the 27 basic expressions video is useful in conversations.

I'm glad you found it useful! 😁🙂 May I make a correction? You switched up Hungary and Hungarian: Magyarország - Hungary magyar - Hungarian ország means country, so we basically say Hungarian country = Hungary 😁 I hope it helps! Keep up the good work!

Great video! Just a small correction in your English subtitles; in the review section at the end, should be "brush" your teeth, not "wash" your teeth." You had it correct in the first half.
@@dwaynekohn6754 Thanks 😁 You are right, one of my students also draw my attention to it 😁 I did the second part later and it seems my Hunglish took over 😁
Szia Dáni! A videó szuper, nagyon tanulságos, érdekes és még nagyon vicces is! Nem is tudom, mi lepett meg jobban: hogy Spiderman vagy, vagy hogy önként eszel mogyoróvajat! 😅
Thanks for the cool video. My book conjugates 'i'm sleeping' as 'alszom' labelling it an 'irregular -ik / sz' type verb. Is this a situation where both conjugations work, or rather time and usage has shifted to be 'alszok' instead?
@@barbadosslimful Thank you! 😁 Cool question, I'm glad that you noticed that 😁 So -ik verbs are different for 'én' and 'ő' compared to normal verbs (e. g. kap, beszél, ül) ő gets an '-ik', while normal verbs get nothing for ő: lakik vs. kap, beszél, ül the old teaching was: én gets '-om/-em/-öm', while normal verbs get '-ok-ek-ök' for én: lakom vs. kapok, beszélek, ülök BUT, nowadays even though in schools teachers/grammar nazis still try to force the M endings, in real life people tend to use the K endings for - ik verbs. I say alszok and not alszom. And it is not an 'educational' where uneducated people use the wrong grammar (like in English in movies they portray uneducated people by saying 'he don't' and similar things.) I'm educated and well read. My father too, my friends are too. For example one of my friends is an engineer, speaks several languages and he also says dolgozok, alszok. Some grammar teachers or grammar nazis tries to 'fight the tide', but I think most people (at least in Budapest) say alszok and not alszom. I think for foreign students is also easier to learn the K ending because they fit the general rule and they not get confused with definite and indefinite. Also now grammar books like Hungarian Practical Grammar from Szita Szilvia acknowledges the K endings (even though she just mentions it in 2 lines) Long story short: M and K endings for indefinite sentences with - ik verbs are both good. I prefer and teach K. Eszek egy levest. Eszem egy levest. For definite sentences only M is acceptable. Megeszem a levest.
@@barbadosslimful And secondly alszik, fekszik, játszik are weird animals, because they have the characteristics of 3 different verb conjugation (imagine a Venn diagram of conjugations and they are in the common cross section) -stem ending in sz, s, z verbs (alszol vs kapsz) - ik verbs (alszik vs. kap) - verb stem ending in 2 different consonants so there is an extra connecting vowel (alszOtok vs. kaptok, alszAnak vs. kapnak) játszok játszol játszik játszunk játszotok játszanak
Thank you for the question and for being observant! :) :D Another viewer also asked this question below, so I will just copy my answer here: 'So -ik verbs are different for 'én' and 'ő' compared to normal verbs (e. g. kap, beszél, ül) ő gets an '-ik', while normal verbs get nothing for ő: lakik vs. kap, beszél, ül the old teaching was: én gets '-om/-em/-öm', while normal verbs get '-ok-ek-ök' for én: lakom vs. kapok, beszélek, ülök BUT, nowadays even though in schools teachers/grammar nazis still try to force the M endings, in real life people tend to use the K endings for - ik verbs.

@@bengooduk I'll recommend alszom. Usually teachers are grammar nazis. So you are safer with - m. But I have to mention that a very good grammar book said the -k ending is also acceptable.
I observed the accusative suffix -t is dropped when the noun already has a possessive ending Például Megmosom a kezem/arcom/fogam/hajam, kimosom a ruháim Is there a precise rule for this? Köszönöm!
Really good observation! Kudos! If you use an accusative verb with something that is possessed, then people tend to drop the accusative suffixes (-t and its versions) when the possessors are 'én, te' and sometimes even for 'mi, ti', but never for 'ő, ők, Ön, Önök'. And the omission is optional, so you can have the longer form with the accusative suffix too. Megeszem a szendvicsem. Megeszem a szendvicsemet. (I prefer the first version) Megeszem a szendvicsed. Megeszem a szendvicsedet. (I prefer the first version) Megeszem a szendvicsét. Megeszem a szendvicsünk. Megeszem a szendvicsünket. (I prefer the second version) Megeszem a szendvicsetek. Megeszem a szendvicseteket. (I prefer the second version) Megeszem a szendvicsüket.
Good question! If you just look at the verb in itself, I think people would usually associate to 'to disdain, to regard with contempt'. But if you use it with 'ágy', then it means to make your bed tidy. You can check it in this link (it shows several meanings and it will be the first one): www.arcanum.com/hu/online-kiadvanyok/Lexikonok-a-magyar-nyelv-ertelmezo-szotara-1BE8B/m-3C77D/megvet-3EE71/ Another link: mek.oszk.hu/adatbazis/magyar-nyelv-ertelmezo-szotara/kereses.php?csakcimben=&szo=MEGVET&offset=199&kereses=meg I hope it helps :) What meaning did you find by the way?
I never understood when nouns like kéz, szem, fül, cipő, kesztyű, papucs etc. have to be used in the singular or plural form Does anyone have an explanation for me, please? 😁
I wouldn't say it is a 100% rule, but in general we think about these things as a concept and not 2 individual things. I will use here literal translations: Megmosom a kezem. - I wash my hand. Kezet mosok. - I wash hand. Nézz a szemembe. - Look into my eye. (even if I mean both of them) Gyönyörű szemed van. - You have beautiful eye. but you can say, though less likely used: Gyönyörű szemeid vannak. - You have beautiful eyes. Ez nem az én kesztyűm. This is not my glove (even if you mean both gloves) Ezek nem az én kesztyűim. These are not my gloves. (less likely used) I would recommend not to understand it by logic, but listen to a lot of speech, watch a lot of TV-shows, movies, read a lot of native texts, books, newspapers, chat with natives, etc. And you will develop a feeling what is right and what is not. Try to not think in English and translating it to Hungarian, but just think in Hungarian. I hope it helps :)
I have questions. You brush your teeth and THEN drink tea? You then become a bat? Doesn't the tea taste horrible after brushing, and also why doesn't it come back up if you're hanging upside down? Also the final book 😂 I'm glad I wasn't drinking or I'd have spat that all over my laptop. You have a British sense of humour that's for sure.
😁 1. What other order would be possible? 🤔 2. Usually some time passes between drinking and hanging upside down 😁 3. That book helped through really dark time times! 😁
@@hunfun_dani Fair enough lol. I couldn't do that, I wake up hungry. It's hard enough working out on an empty stomach sometimes without then having to wait even longer for food.

And secondly
alszik, fekszik, játszik are weird animals, because they have the characteristics of 3 different verb conjugation (imagine a Venn diagram of conjugations and they are in the common cross section)
-stem ending in sz, s, z verbs (alszol vs kapsz)
- ik verbs (alszik vs. kap)
- verb stem ending in 2 different consonants so there is an extra connecting vowel (alszOtok vs. kaptok, alszAnak vs. kapnak)
játszok
játszol
játszik
játszunk

játszanak
