Hi, everybody! This is Lena from HungarianPod101.com. |
Do you know how to say “thank you” in Hungarian? In this lesson, you'll learn three different ways to say "thank you" and how to respond. |
Let’s start with the easiest one. |
Köszönöm. |
[slowly] Köszönöm. |
It means “thank you.” |
If you want to show your sincere appreciation for something, you can say this phrase. |
Köszönöm szépen. |
[slowly] Köszönöm szépen. |
The word szépen means "very much." So this expression means "Thank you very much." |
It expresses a deeper appreciation for a personal kindness. |
When you want to show your appreciation in a more casual way, you can use this expression. |
Köszi. |
[slowly] Köszi. |
When you want to thank your friends, use this expression. It means "thanks." |
Now you know 3 different ways to say "thank you" in Hungarian! But how do you respond if someone thanks you? |
If someone says "thank you" in Hungarian, simply say Nincs mit. It literally means "nothing to thank for" or "you're welcome." |
Let's wrap up this lesson by recapping what we've learned. Listen to the expressions and repeat after me. |
“Thank you." |
Köszönöm. |
*beep |
Köszönöm. |
"Thank you so much." |
Köszönöm szépen. |
*beep |
Köszönöm szépen. |
The casual way to say "thank you." |
Köszi. |
*beep |
Köszi. |
And to respond, just say: |
Nincs mit. |
*beep |
Nincs mit. |
Well done! [pause] |
Be careful about Köszi because it is really casual. Don't use it with superiors or people you are meeting for the first time. |
You just learned three different ways to say “thank you” and how to respond in Hungarian. |
