POST
John: Listen again to Dávid's post.
Lena: Annával minden perc csodás.
John: "Every minute is wonderful with Anna."
Lena: (SLOW) Annával minden perc csodás. (Regular) Annával minden perc csodás.
John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "with Anna."
Lena: Annával
John: Here "with" is expressed with a suffix, that's why there's no separate word for it like in English. Anna is a common name in Hungary, as well. Listen again - "with Anna" is...
Lena: (SLOW) Annával (REGULAR) Annával
John: Then comes the phrase "every minute is wonderful."
Lena: minden perc csodás.
John: This phrase is a little bit over the top. Use it when you want to sound poetic, romantic, or very pathetic. Listen again - "Every minute is wonderful" is...
Lena: (SLOW) minden perc csodás. (REGULAR) minden perc csodás.
John: All together, it's "Every minute is wonderful with Anna."
Lena: Annával minden perc csodás.
