| POST |
| John: Listen again to Dávid's post. |
| Lena: Szuper volt a koncert! |
| John: "The concert was great!" |
| Lena: (SLOW) Szuper volt a koncert! (Regular) Szuper volt a koncert! |
| John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "was great" |
| Lena: Szuper volt |
| John: The first word has the same meaning and a similar sound to the English word "super." In Hungarian, a "z" is attached to the letter "s" to create the English "s" sound. It's one of the Hungarian digraphs. Listen again - "was great" is... |
| Lena: (SLOW) Szuper volt (REGULAR) Szuper volt |
| John: Then comes the phrase "the concert." |
| Lena: a koncert! |
| John: Again, here the word for "concert" is very similar to the English word, but in Hungarian, it starts with a "k" instead of a "c." Listen again - "the concert " is... |
| Lena: (SLOW) a koncert! (REGULAR) a koncert! |
| John: All together, it's "The concert was great!" |
| Lena: Szuper volt a koncert! |
