Lesson focus
|
In the previous lesson, we learned how to ask the bus driver if the bus goes to your destination. |
Once on the bus, you'll also need to know where to get off. Use the phrase Ez már ...? |
This phrase means "Is this ... already?" Just use whichever city and the name of the stop there at the end of the sentence. Let's try with Hungary's big tourist destination and famous wine producer, the town of Eger. |
Ez már Eger? |
The first word is ez, which is Hungarian for "this." |
ez |
It is followed by már, which we learned in previous lessons means, "already." |
már |
It's that simple. |
Another way of inquiring could be to ask what the next stop is. |
In Hungarian, the phrase is Mi a következő állomás? |
Let's break down these words and see the entire phrase one more time: Mi a következő állomás? |
Mi a következő állomás? |
Következő means "next" and állomás is "stop." |
As an answer, you might get: A következő állomás Eger. |
Start preparing to get off if you hear this, because it means the next stop is Eger. |
Outro

Okay, to close out today's lesson, we'd like for you to practice what you've just learned. I'll provide you with the English equivalent of the phrase and you're responsible for shouting it aloud. You'll have a few seconds before I give you the answer; so, sok szerencsét, which means "good luck" in Hungarian. |
