| Michael: In this lesson, you'll learn how to respond to the common question Are you hungry? In Hungarian this is |
| Lena: Éhes vagy? |
| Michael: The first word in the question is |
| Lena: éhes |
| Michael: meaning “hungry” in English. |
| Lena: (Slow, by syllable) éhes |
| Michael: Listen again and repeat. |
| Lena: éhes |
| {Pause} |
| Michael: This pattern of first introducing a word at natural speed, providing the translation, breaking it down, and then giving it again at natural speed will be repeated throughout the series. Try to speak aloud as often as possible. The next word in the question is |
| Lena: vagy |
| Michael: meaning “are you” |
| Lena: (Slow, by syllable) vagy |
| Michael: Now repeat. |
| Lena: vagy |
| {Pause} |
| Michael: Listen to the entire question and repeat. |
| Lena: Éhes vagy? |
| {pause} |
| Michael: Master the following pattern and responses to the question Are you hungry? |
| Lena: Igen, egy kicsit. |
| Michael: “Yes, I am a little bit.”Again, slowly. Repeat the phrase. |
| Lena: (Slow) Igen, egy kicsit. |
| {pause} |
| Michael: Let's break it down from the beginning. The first word: |
| Lena: Igen |
| Michael: means “Yes” |
| Lena: (Slow, by syllable) Igen |
| Michael: Now repeat |
| Lena: Igen |
| {Pause} |
| Michael: And after that |
| Lena: egy kicsit |
| Michael: meaning “a little bit”. |
| Lena: (Slow, by syllable) egy kicsit |
| Michael: Now repeat. |
| Lena: egy kicsit |
| {Pause} |
| Michael: Listen to the speaker say, “Yes, I am a little bit.” and then repeat. |
| Lena: Igen, egy kicsit. |
| {pause} |
| Michael: To use a different phrase, replace “a little bit hungry” with “very hungry.” |
| Lena: nagyon éhes vagyok |
| Michael: very hungry |
| Lena: (slow) nagyon éhes vagyok (regular) nagyon éhes vagyok |
| Michael: Listen to the phrase again, this time with “very hungry” |
| Lena: Igen, nagyon éhes vagyok. |
| Michael: It mostly stays the same. Simply replace “a little bit.” with “very hungry” Say “Yes, I'm very hungry.” |
| {pause} |
| Lena: Igen, nagyon éhes vagyok. |
| Michael: To expand on the pattern, replace “very hungry” with “starving.” |
| Lena: mindjárt éhenhalok |
| Michael: “starving” |
| Lena: (slow) mindjárt éhenhalok (regular) mindjárt éhenhalok |
| Michael: This phrase literally means “about to starve to death.” Listen to the phrase again, this time with “starving” |
| Lena: Igen, mindjárt éhenhalok. |
| Michael: It mostly stays the same. Simply replace the word for very hungry. Say Yes, I'm starving. |
| {pause} |
| Lena: Igen, mindjárt éhenhalok. |
| Michael: To use a different phrase, replace starving with a bit hungry. |
| Lena: egy nagyon picit |
| Michael: a bit hungry |
| Lena: (slow) egy nagyon picit (regular) egy nagyon picit |
| Michael: Listen to the phrase again, this time with a bit hungry |
| Lena: Igen, egy nagyon picit. |
| Michael: It mostly stays the same. Simply replace the word for starving. Say Yes, I'm a bit hungry. |
| {pause} |
| Lena: Igen, egy nagyon picit. |
| {pause} |
| Michael: If you’re not hungry, you can say.. |
| Lena: Nem, nem vagyok éhes. |
| Michael: “No, I’m not hungry.” Once again slowly. |
| Lena: (slow) Nem, nem vagyok éhes. (regular) Nem, nem vagyok éhes. |
| {pause} |
