| POST |

| Lena: Ma shoppingolni megyünk a húgommal! |
| John: "Going shopping today with my sister!" |
| Lena: (SLOW) Ma shoppingolni megyünk a húgommal! (Regular) Ma shoppingolni megyünk a húgommal! |
| John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "Going shopping today." |
| Lena: Ma shoppingolni megyünk |
| John: You will notice that the English word "shopping" appears in the Hungarian phrase as it is. It originally comes from English and Hungarian people use it as slang. It's pretty widespread but older people might not understand the meaning. Listen again - "Going shopping today" is... |
| Lena: (SLOW) Ma shoppingolni megyünk (REGULAR) Ma shoppingolni megyünk |
| John: Then comes the phrase "with my sister!" |
| Lena: a húgommal! |
| John: The English translation says "sister," but the Hungarian word literally means "younger sister." Different words are used for an older or younger sister in Hungarian. Listen again - "with my sister!" is... |
| Lena: (SLOW) a húgommal! (REGULAR) a húgommal! |
| John: All together, it's "Going shopping today with my sister!" |
| Lena: Ma shoppingolni megyünk a húgommal! |
