Szia Li!
Thank you for your kind comment!
We are very happy that you find our lessons helpful! Keep practicing Hungarian! 😉
In a casual context, you can say:
- Már nagyon várom .....
- Már alig várom ...
In a more formal-business context we usually don't say that, but we could use other expressions like:
-Várom mielőbbi válaszát. - I'm waiting for your quick reply.
I hope I answered your question! Please do not hesitate if you need any more explanations.
Jó tanulást!
