| POST |
| John: Listen again to Anna's post. |
| Lena: Kirándulni akartunk, de eleredt az eső. |
| John: "We wanted to hike, but it started to rain." |
| Lena: (SLOW) Kirándulni akartunk, de eleredt az eső. (Regular) Kirándulni akartunk, de eleredt az eső. |
| John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "We wanted to hike." |
| Lena: Kirándulni akartunk, |
| John: The second word is in the past tense and refers to the first person plural. The personal pronoun "we" is omitted and expressed by the suffix. Listen again - "We wanted to hike" is... |
| Lena: (SLOW) Kirándulni akartunk, (REGULAR) Kirándulni akartunk, |
| John: Then comes the phrase "but it started to rain." |
| Lena: de eleredt az eső. |
| John: The first word of this phrase is a contrasting conjunction that means "but." You can use it to connect compound sentences in Hungarian. Listen again - "but it started to rain" is... |
| Lena: (SLOW) de eleredt az eső. (REGULAR) de eleredt az eső. |
| John: All together, it's "We wanted to hike, but it started to rain." |
