| In the previous lessons, we introduced you to some phrases you can use when in Hungary and this is the last lesson of the series dedicated to learning from the people around you. Today, we are going to cover "How do you read this?" |
| In Hungarian, "How do you read this?" is Hogy kell ezt felolvasni? |
| Hogy kell ezt felolvasni? |
| Let's break it down by syllable: Hogy kell ezt fel-ol-vas-ni? |
| Now let's hear it once again: Hogy kell ezt felolvasni? |
| The first word, hogy, means "how." |
| Next, we have kell, which in English means, "must, should." |
| Then we have: the demonstrative adjective ezt, which in English is "this" in the accusative. |
| Finally, felolvasni is "to read out aloud". |
| The entire sentence goes: Hogy kell ezt felolvasni? |
| Hogy kell ezt felolvasni? |
| If you are pointing at something, probably on a book, a newspaper, or simply a street sign, you might also like to ask, "How do you pronounce this?" Hogy kell ezt kimondani? |
| Hogy kell ezt kimondani? |
| Kimondani is, "say out aloud". |
| Let's break it down by syllable: Hogy kell ezt ki-mon-da-ni? |
| Now let's hear it once again: Hogy kell ezt kimondani? |
| Hogy kell ezt kimondani? |
| After you have learned the reading and the pronunciation, you will probably want to know about the meaning. So why don't you try to ask, Mit jelent? |
| Mit jelent? ("What does it mean?") |
| Let's break it down by syllable. Mit je-lent? |
| Here it is once again: Mit jelent? |
| The first word, mit means, "what". |
| Let's hear it one more time: mit. |
| Next, we have jelent, which in English means, "means." |
| So all together, we have: Mit jelent? |
| Literally, this means "What does it mean?" |
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. |
