| In this lesson, we'll introduce you some more useful phrases for hotels and the like. The first phrase is "What time is checkout?" In Hungarian, this is Mikor kell elhagyni a szobát? |
| Let's break it down by syllable: Mi-kor kell el-hagy-ni a szo-bát? |
| Now let's hear it once again: Mikor kell elhagyni a szobát? |
| The first word, mikor, means "when" in Hungarian. |
| Let's hear it once again: mikor mikor. |
| Then you have: kell, which means, "should, must, have to." |
| Let's hear it once again: kell. |
| After that, you have elhagyni, which is "leave." elhagyni, elhagyni. |
| Let's break it down by syllable: el-hagy-ni |
| Following that, we have a szobát. |
| This means, "the room" and is in the accusative. |
| Let's see it again. a szobát, a szobát. |
| Let's break it down by syllable: a szo-bát |
| So to recap here, we have: Mikor kell elhagyni a szobát? |
| Literally, this means, "what time do we have to leave the room?" |
| Let's try to ask, "Can I have some soap?" This is: Kaphatnék szappant? |
| Let's break it down and hear it one more time: Kap-hat-nék szap-pant? |
| Kaphatnék szappant? |
| The first word, is kaphatnék and it means, "Can I have" Let's breakdown this word and see it one more time. kap-hat-nék and kaphatnék. |
| Then you have: szappant, which means, "soap." |
| Now, this noun here, szappant, is in the accusative, and that is the correct form to use when the noun is an object in the sentence. The accusative is usually marked by a -t at the end of the word, but unfortunately it can get more complicated than that at times. Below, we'll give you a list of words you can use, already in the accusative. Just put them in our previous sentence and they'll all work beautifully. |
| "Towel" - törölközőt |
| "Toothbrush" - fogkefét |
| "Toothpaste" - fogkrémet |
| "Shampoo" - sampont |
| "Soap" - szappant |

You'll have a few seconds before I give you the answer; so, sok szerencsét, which means "good luck" in Hungarian. |
