Lesson focus |
|---|
| There is so much to do and see in Hungary, and there are times when access to some must-see places requires an admission ticket. So in this lesson, we're going to work on getting you through the gate, as we'll look at buying tickets. In Hungary, “ticket” is jegy. |
| Let's break it down: jegy. |
| Now let's hear it one more time: jegy. |
| In Hungarian, "one ticket please" is Egy jegyet kérek. |
| Egy jegyet kérek. |
| Let's break it down by syllable: Egy je-gyet ké-rek. |
| Now let's hear it once again: Egy jegyet kérek. |
| The first word, egy means, "one." |
| Let's hear it one more time: egy. |
| Next, we have: jegyet, which in Hungarian is "ticket" in the accusative. |
| je-gyet, jegyet. |
| To recap here, we have: egy jegyet. |
| Let's look at the next word, which you know very well, kérek, and it means, "please" or "would like, want" |
| So |
| All together, we have: Egy jegyet kérek. Literally, this means, "a ticket please." |
| We'll work on getting tickets for the rest of the party now. |
| Let's recap numbers from one to ten. |
| "one" - egy |
| "two"- kettő |
| "three"- három |
| "four" - négy |
| "five" - öt |
| "six" - hat |
| "seven" - hét |
| "eight" - nyolc |
| "nine" - kilenc |
| "ten" - tíz |
| "Three tickets, please" in Hungarian is Három jegyet kérek. Három jegyet kérek. |
| Let's break it down by syllable: Há-rom je-gyet ké-rek. |
| Now let's hear it once again: Három jegyet kérek. |
| The first word, három means, "three." |
| Let's hear it one more time: három. |
| Next, we have: the same stuff as before; luckily, in Hungarian you don't have to bother with plural nouns here. |
| So all together, we have: Három jegyet kérek. |
| Literally, this means, "Three tickets, please." |
| "Five tickets, please" in Hungarian is Öt jegyet kérek. |
| Öt je-gyet ké-rek. |
| Öt jegyet kérek. |
| Very often, you may be asked to show your ticket at places other than the entrance, so keep these admissions with you until you leave the place you are visiting. They will ask you, A jegyét kérem. This means, "Your ticket, please." |
| The first word, is a, ("the"), the definite article. |
| Then you have: jegyét ("your ticket"). Next, you have kérem ("please"). kérem. |
| Let's break it down by syllable and hear it one more time: A jegyét kérem. |
| A jegyét kérem. |
| A jegyét kérem. |
