Lesson focus
In the previous lesson, we covered how to ask to get something. In today's lesson, we'll introduce you to another useful phrase for finding the place where you can get what you are looking for. today's phrase is, "Is there a (place) near here?"
First, we need a place. Let's use the word gyógyszertár, which means "pharmacy," but we can also translate as "chemist" or "drug store."
Let's break it down by syllable: gyógy-szer-tár.
Now let's hear it once again: gyógyszertár.
In Hungarian, "Is there a pharmacy near here?" is Van a közelben gyógyszertár?
Van a közelben gyógyszertár?
Let's break it down by syllable. Van a kö-zel-ben gyógy-szer-tár?
Now let's hear it once again: Van a közelben gyógyszertár?
The first word van means, "there is."
Let's hear it one more time. van and van.
This is followed by: the word közelben, which means, "nearby, here" in English.
Last, we have gyógyszertár, which is "pharmacy."
Let's hear it one more time! Van a közelben gyógyszertár?
This literally means, "is there a pharmacy near here?"
Van a közelben gyógyszertár?
Van a közelben gyógyszertár?
To ask for a different place, we can just replace the word gyógyszertár with any other word and the phrase works just fine. Let's imagine you need to withdraw some money from your bank account.
In Hungarian, "Is there an ATM near here?" is Van a közelben ATM?
Van a közelben ATM?
The only thing that changes is the thing you are looking for, in this case "ATM."
Let's see the entire phrase one more time: Van a közelben ATM?

Outro
Okay, to close out today's lesson, we'd like for you to practice what you've just learned. I'll provide you with the English equivalent of the phrase and you're responsible for shouting it aloud. You'll have a few seconds before I give you the answer; so, sok szerencsét, which means "good luck" in Hungarian.
"Is there a pharmacy near here?" - Van a közelben gyógyszertár?
Van a közelben gyógyszertár?
Van a közelben gyógyszertár?
"Is there an ATM near here?" - Van a közelben ATM?
Van a közelben ATM?
Van a közelben ATM?
All right. That’s is going to do it for today. Remember to stop by HungarianPod101.com and pick up the accompanying PDF. If you stop by, be sure to leave us a comment. Sziasztok!
