Magyars, they are also Ogurs, mistakenly or deliberately listed in the "Finno-Ugric" language family and, accordingly, they were ranked among the "Ugric" peoples. It is correct to call them Yugra. These are Khanty and Mansi. And the word "Ugr" is derived from the ethnonym "ogur" i.e. one of the tribes of the Onogur union.
Unfortunately, not a single message about the language of the ancient Magyars has come down to us. If we have information about the Bulgars and Khazars (the same Ogur language group), then we do not have information about the Magyar. And so would-be linguists ranked the language of the Hungarians as "Finno-Ugric". Although, in the same Wikipedia there is a reservation: "In Europe, Finnish and Estonian are distantly related languages, but the speakers of these languages are not able to understand the Hungarians (until the end of the 19th century, the very fact that the Hungarian language belonged to Finno-Ugric was questioned)"
So, neither the Finns nor the Yugras understand their language, they doubted, but they brought it into this group. Of course, if we talk about the modern Hungarian language, then this is a wild mixture of Latin, German, Romanian, Slavic and Magyar proper, of which there are 20 percent left, if not less.
But back to the language of the ancient Hungarians. Of course, let us recall the message of brother Richard that brother Julian found the Magyars on the Volga. "After that, brother Julian, left alone and not knowing how to go further, became the servant of a Saracen priest with his wife, who was going to Great Bulgaria. They went there together and got there.
Great Bulgaria is a great and powerful kingdom with rich cities...
In one large city in the same region, from which, according to rumors, fifty thousand fighters come out, the brother found one Hungarian woman who was given in marriage to those parts of the country he was looking for.
She pointed out to her brother the paths he needed to follow, asserting that in two days' time he would no doubt find the Hungarians he was looking for. And so it happened. For he found them near the great river Etil. Those who saw him and learned that he was a Hungarian, were not a little happy about his arrival: they took him around the houses and villages diligently asked about the king and the kingdom of their Christian brothers. And everything that he wanted to explain to them, both about faith and about other things, they listened very attentively, since their language is completely Hungarian: and they understood him and he them. They are pagans, they have no idea about God, but they do not revere idols either, but live like animals. Land is not cultivated! they eat horse meat, wolf meat, and the like; drink horse milk and blood. They are rich in horses and weapons and are very brave in wars. According to the legends of the ancients, they know that those Hungarians descended from them, but did not know where they were.
http://www.vostlit.info/Texts/Documenty/Ungarn/XIII/1220-1240/Izv_veng_missioner/text1.phtml
The fact that the Magyars come from the Urals, I think, is beyond doubt, but to find Magyars in the 13th century who speak "Hungarian"!
And everything is much simpler, firstly, brother Julian communicated with the Mishars and it was on the Volga, and not on the Belaya with the Bashkirs. And secondly, the language of the Magyars was of the Ogur group, similar to the language of the Bulgars, Khazars and Polovtsians. And they picked up "Turkisms" not from the Bulgars, with whom they lived side by side and amicably, but much earlier, more precisely, it was their native language. What prompts this thought?
Some linguists (Zoltan Gombots) counted more than 800 Turkisms in the modern Hungarian language and they are similar to the Bulgar words.
Let us take an EXTRACT FROM THE BOOK OF EL-A "LAK EN-NAFIS
ABU-ALI AHMEDA BEN-OMAR IBN-DASTA CHAPTER FOUR
Magyars (El-Modschgarijjah).
§ one.
Between the land of the Pechenegs and the land of the Bulgarians, Esegel lies the first of the Magyar lands. These Magyars are a Turkic tribe Their head goes on a campaign with 20,000 horsemen and is called Kendeh. This is the title of their king, because the proper name of the person who is their king is Jyla. All Magyars obey the orders given to them by their head, named Jyla, whether he orders to go to the enemy, or repulse the enemy, or something else ... "
We will not analyze the entire message, it is noteworthy for us that the author calls the Magyars a Turkic tribe. And by what signs could he determine this? First of all, the language.
Here he confuses calling Gyla the name of the king, since this is the title that was preserved in Hungary in the Middle Ages in the form "Gyula"
Now let's turn to the Emperor Porphyrogenic. So they do not call the Magyars anything but Turks "tourkoi".
And in the phonetics of the Hungarian language, linguists notice that "The special Hungarian vowel phoneme "a" /ɒ/, which has analogues in Tatar, Swedish and a long version in Persian, presents difficulties for foreigners studying Hungarian. It is articulatory close to a similar sound in modern Tatar .."
And in morphology: "The Hungarian language is a synthetic language. The agglutinative (from Latin agglutinatio - gluing) character makes it possible to accumulate suffixes (like the Turkic languages - in particular, Turkish). There is no grammatical gender in the Hungarian language. There is a definite and indefinite article. Hungarian the language has a peculiar system of possessive suffixes adjacent to names (the so-called possessive declension of names, also characteristic of the Turkic and Tungus-Manchu languages).
Well, in conclusion, I will give a few Hungarian words similar to the Bulgarian (Tatar):
alma apple
anya mom
apa father
unokája grandson
kutya dog
macska cat
eger mouse
kazan boiler
kapu gate
Russian
halak fish
tenger sea
barany sheep, etc.
How do I learn Hungarian?
It seems to me that almost everyone has heard that the Hungarian language is one of the most difficult in the world. And how many people know that it originated in the Urals, and that nomadic Hungarians brought it to Europe over time?
While they were walking with stops here and there, they adopted the features and expressions of local dialects, so a lot of things are mixed in the Hungarian language, and even Russian words are found.
- CHALLENGING YOURSELF
From my personal experience, I can say that the language is really difficult, but studying it has become for me a kind of challenge to myself as a linguist.
When I first came to Hungary and our guide told us that the language of the population is super-duper twisted and it takes a lot of time to learn it, I thought that God forbid, in the future, life will push me close to it. I quickly shook off this stupid thought, because there were no signs of my moving to that country. But life is a paradoxical thing, and three years later I had the Hungarian alphabet in front of me.
If anyone does not know why I had to learn Hungarian, I inform you that this is the native language of my current husband. Although I tried to learn the basics for several months before moving to Hungary, it did not help much when I got into the language environment. Honestly, I felt like I was on another planet. I understood absolutely nothing, except greetings and the word “thank you”. I had a desire to use English in communication, but in the immediate environment only my husband spoke English, so I perceived the entire information flow through him.
It took me about three months to begin to speak a little bit, and this despite the fact that I seem to quickly grasp the structure of the language.
Hungarian is part of the Finno-Ugric language group. It seems to me that these two languages \u200b\u200bwere combined into one category simply because after the groupings they remained like white crows. I can assure you with confidence that Finnish and Hungarian are like an ax and a saw. The only thing that unites them is some kind of general melody and sound of speech. Once we worked on a ship and I often had to listen to the Finnish dialect. It seemed to me that I was about to understand something. No, in vain.
- WHY IT WAS DIFFICULT TO LEARN HUNGARIAN
For me, the main feature that I had not encountered before was that Hungarian is a very synthetic language and word formation occurs with the help of agglutination. This means that phrases and word forms are formed within the word itself, and not with the help of auxiliary words. For example, if we take the Russian “in our family” and compare it with “a mi családunkban”, then grammatical analysis shows that the word “családunkban” already contains two morphemes: “unk”, meaning “our” and “ban”, meaning "in".
Getting used to such a construction of words is akin to twisting the brain inside out, when the latter needs to capture not only the meanings, but also how the words end. Plus, they are quite long, which makes them difficult to read.
Is it possible to easily understand a word that has, for example, 62 letters!?
folyamatellenőrzesiügyosztályvezetőhelyettesképesítésvizsgalat- request for the qualifications of the deputy head of the process management department
Add to the above the presence of 20 cases, and rapid progress in learning can slow down for a very long time. Here are a couple of unusual case names: causalis finalis, instrumental comitative, translative factive.
The second moment of the language is vocabulary. You also need to get used to the words, and only after that the process of catching suffixes and prefixes and other parts that indicate some meanings begins. At first the words seemed strange. "Vissayelzysh", "töryulközö", "megishmerkädni"... how-how? Although in the process I managed to find associations or other principles of memorization.
- SOME INTERESTING WORDS
Here are a few words that did not leave me indifferent:
"cleaning" is "cucumber" in Hungarian;
"cannon" - a pistol;
"pusi" - a kiss;
“bitch” - is used not only in the usual sense for us, but also as an amplifying “very” (“bitch yo” - very cool);
"villa" - fork;
"babu" - a doll;
"papier" - paper.
In general, some words made me laugh, and some - irritation, because they were not remembered.
I can not help but note one more specificity of Hungarian - phonetics, that is, sounds, especially vowels, of which there are only 14. In addition to the fact that some analogues are not in Russian (ü, ö which are present in French), the duration of the sound also matters (there are short and long vowels: o - ó, u - ú ). Ironically, Hungarian doesn't have a short vowel "a". It exists in writing, but its pronunciation is not a pure "a", but between "a" and "o". By this sound, you can easily identify foreigners learning Hungarian. In addition to a short sound, there is a long "a", which looks like "á" in writing.
Yes, I confess, there were moments when I wanted to finish and forget Hungarian forever, but one scientific fact was spinning in my head: learning languages is the best coach for the brain. It probably saved me. Now, looking back, I see how many hours have been invested in being able to speak a hitherto incomprehensible language.
By the way, I learned Hungarian on my own from a textbook (as in the picture below), and my husband was the main explainer.
I don't know if it's even possible to achieve an error-free language level. Probably, this is possible subject to permanent residence in the country. The Hungarians themselves often notice the illiteracy of their fellow citizens, especially regarding the correct spelling. Well, I always have an excuse for speaking Hungarian with errors, since I am Ukrainian, with a Hungarian husband and living in Spain.Monday, 26 November 2018 16:21 )
Words are remembered very easily, and since I have absolute pitch, I learned all the Hungarian songs that musicians sang in hotels very easily and quickly, but when Hungarians speak, I don’t understand anything!
Magyarorszagon elek. És magyar nyelv nagyon nehéz nekem. Én körülbelül egy év ezt nyelvet tanulok, de tudok nem nehéz a mondatokat beszélni.
Szerintem öt vagy hét ev kell magyar nyelv meg tanulni.
M..yes.ah! I wanted to learn a couple of words before going to Hungary to the resort, but apparently it’s not worth it, it’s complicated ... however !!! Yes, a lot of things are mixed in the language, if in Hungarian a whore is something very, very ..., then in the Czech Republic it is better not to pronounce this word, in Chach it means the most not the best mat of all that is in the Czech language. Here's the paradox.
The Hungarian language is part of the Uralic language family. Linguistic links between Hungarian and other Uralic languages were noted as early as the 1670s, and the family itself (later called Finno-Ugric) was singled out in linguistics in 1717. The classification of the Hungarian language as Uralic/Finno-Ugric, rather than Turkic, continued to be a topic of fierce scientific and political debate throughout the 18th and 19th centuries.
Hungarian has traditionally been assigned to the Ugric branch of the Finno-Ugric language family, along with the Mansi and Khanty languages of Western Siberia (Khanty-Mansi region). When the Samoyedic languages were identified as part of the family, Finns and Ugrians (Finno-Ugric) were at first believed to be closer to each other than to the Samoyedic branch of this family, but this fact is now being questioned. It is precisely because of such a peculiar linguistic position that the Hungarian language is the most difficult, incomprehensible and undesirable for learning for beginner polyglots.
Origin
The traditional view is that the Hungarian language diverged from its Ugric relatives in the first half of the 1st millennium BC. e., in western Siberia east of the Southern Urals. The Hungarians gradually changed their lifestyle from sedentary hunters to nomadic pastoralists, probably as a result of early contact with Iranian nomads (Scythians and Sarmatians). Since he is of non-European origin, learning Hungarian is quite difficult for the average European.
But back to contacts with Iranian tribes. The Hungarian language even has characteristic Iranian borrowings, which include such words as "tehany" ("cow"), "tiz" ("ten"), "tey" ("milk") and many other words.
Old Hungarian
This language has gone through a long evolution, having developed from ancient medieval dialects. The first written records in Hungarian, mostly in the form of personal names and place names, date back to the 10th century. No significant texts written at that time have survived.
The Kingdom of Hungary was founded in 1000 by Stephen I. It became a Western-style Christian (Catholic) state, with the Latin script replacing the Hungarian runes. The earliest remaining fragments of this language are found in the establishment of the charter of Tihany Abbey from 1055, but the text of the charter is fairly mixed with Latin. The first surviving text written entirely in Hungarian is the Funeral Sermon and Prayer, which dates back to the 1190s. Although the orthography of these early texts differed significantly from that used today, modern Hungarians can still understand much of the reconstructed colloquial (Old Hungarian) language despite significant changes in grammar and vocabulary.
More extensive specimens of Hungarian literature emerged after 1300. The earliest known example of Hungarian religious poetry is one of the church hymns from the 14th century. The first translation of the Bible into Hungarian was the Hussite Bible published in the 1430s. Cases in the Hungarian language are also distinguished by their originality in the form of an isolated development and a peculiar origin.
Modern Hungarian
In 1533, the Cracow clerk Benedek Komyati published the first book in Hungarian, which was, in essence, only a translation of St. Paul's letters under the title Az zenth Paal leueley magyar nyeluen.
By the 17th century, the language had already approached its modern form. German, Italian and French borrowings found their way into the Hungarian language in large numbers, while Turkish words were borrowed during the reign of the Ottoman Empire (1541-1699).
In the 18th century, a group of writers, most notably Ferenc Cazinzi, led the process of "language revitalization". Some words have been abbreviated, a number of nationally spoken dialect words have been officially introduced, extinct words have been reintroduced, a wide range of expressions have been coined using various derived suffixes, and some other less commonly used methods of language extension have been used. . This movement produced over ten thousand words, most of which are in active use today.
In 1920, Hungary signed the Treaty of Trianon, losing 71% of its territory and one-third of the ethnic Hungarian population along with it.
Today, the Hungarian language has official status at the national level in Hungary and at the regional level in Romania, Slovakia, Serbia, Austria and Slovenia.
Hungarian runes
Hungarian language (reading initially from right to left) on ancient Hungarian runes that look like the more famous Futhark runes. But he has nothing to do with them. When Stephen I founded the Kingdom of Hungary in 1000, the old system was gradually abandoned in favor of the Latin alphabet and left-to-right order. Although Hungarian runic writing is not used in everyday life, some enthusiasts are translating the runes of modern Hungarian words and names into Hungarian.
Modern writing system
Modern Hungarian is written using the extended Latin alphabet and has a phonetic orthography, meaning that pronunciation can generally be predicted from the written language. In addition to the standard letters of the Latin alphabet, Hungarian uses several modified Latin characters to represent the language's additional vowel sounds. These include letters with acute accents (á, é, í, ó, ú) to represent long vowels and umlauts (ö and ü) and their long counterparts ő and ű to represent front vowels. Occasionally (usually as a result of a technical glitch on a computer) ⟨ô⟩ or ⟨õ⟩ is used for ⟨ő⟩ and ⟨û⟩ for ⟨ű⟩. These letters are not part of the Hungarian language and are considered misspellings. Hungarian is the only language that uses both ⟨ő⟩ and ⟨ű⟩.
Geographic distribution
There are about 13 million native speakers in Hungary, of which more than 9.8 million live in Hungary. According to the 2011 Hungarian census, 9,896,333 people (99.6% of the total population) speak Hungarian, of which 9,827,875 people (98.9%) speak it as their first language, and 68,458 people (0 .7%) speak it as a second language. About 2.2 million of its speakers live in areas that were part of the Kingdom of Hungary before the Treaty of Trianon. Most of them live in Transylvania, the western part of present-day Romania, where there are about 1.25 million Hungarians. There are large Hungarian communities in Slovakia, Serbia and Ukraine, and many Hungarians can also be found in Austria, Croatia and Slovenia. A Hungarian language tutor is a highly demanded profession in these regions. The American diaspora of Hungarians numbers over one hundred thousand people and 1.5 million people with Hungarian ancestry live in the United States.
official status
Hungarian is the official language of Hungary and is thus an official language of the European Union. Hungarian is also one of the official languages of Vojvodina and the official language of three Slovenian municipalities: Godoš, Dobrovnik and Lendava, as well as Slovene. The Hungarian language is officially recognized as a minority or regional language in Austria, Croatia, Romania, Transcarpathia in Ukraine and Slovakia. In Romania, it is a recognized minority language spoken locally in communes, cities and municipalities with an ethnic Hungarian population exceeding 20%.
Dialects
Dialects of the Hungarian language designated by ethnologists: Alfeld, West Danube, Danube-Tisza, Royal Pass Hungarian, Northeast Hungarian, Northwest Hungarian, Székely and West Hungarian. These dialects are, for the most part, mutually exclusive. The Hungarian dialect of Csángo is spoken mainly in the Bacau region in eastern Romania. The Hungarian Csángó group is largely isolated from other Hungarian sub-ethnic groups, and therefore they have retained linguistic features that closely resemble early forms of the Hungarian language.
The Hungarian language can be safely called a puzzle, and it is not for nothing that the Rubik's Cube was invented in Hungary. And yet, many Russians decide to storm this complex system: some want to go to university, others want to get citizenship, and still others simply believe that knowing an additional language will be useful to them. Also, Russian citizens often come to Hungary on vacation, in which case Hungarian skills will also come in handy - not everyone in the country even speaks English, but only young people, while older people communicate, as a rule, only in their native language.
About the origin
I must warn you right away: learning the Hungarian language is not an easy task. Formally, it belongs to the Finno-Ugric group, but in fact it has little in common with Estonian and Finnish. Until the nineteenth century, the membership of the Hungarian language in this group was questioned. It is closest to the dialect of the Mansi and Khanty: the Hungarians brought their speech from Siberia to Eastern Europe, having managed, despite the influence of the Slavic and Turkic languages, to largely preserve its main features.
Peculiarities
The Hungarian language for beginning polyglots may seem overwhelmingly difficult - it presents many surprises. Unique phonetics, forty letters in the alphabet, as many as fourteen vowel sounds, each of which is indicated by a separate letter: a [ɒ], á, e [ɛ], é, i [i], í, o [o], ó, ö [ ø], ő [ø:], u [u], ú , ü [y] and ű . The first letter of the alphabet - a - must be pronounced as a cross between the Russian "o" and "a": the lower part of the jaw drops, the lips round, the tip of the tongue is pulled back. what can I say, even if word formations add as many as twenty-three cases, when in Russian there are only six of them.
Phonetics
Of course, the shortness and longitude of the rounded vowels "ü", "ű", "ö", "ő" present a difficulty here. It should be remembered that these are completely different letters, and a mistake with longitude, as in any language, can distort the meaning of the word. It can be quite difficult for foreigners to understand Hungarians at first, and this is noted by the Hungarians themselves, since often the whole remark sounds like an incomprehensible single word, although in fact it is a whole sentence. But the Hungarian language does not have diphthongs.
Grammar
No matter how complex the grammatical system is, it lacks some elements that are characteristic of other languages, for example, there is no category of grammatical gender, there are only two tenses: present and past, and for the future, a perfect tense verb is used or a construction involving fog. All this greatly facilitates the lessons of the Hungarian language for foreign students.
Articles and conjugations
The definite, and indeed the category of uncertainty and certainty in general, play an important role in the language. It is inextricably linked with the conjugations of verbs, which are entirely dependent on the noun - the object. If this object is mentioned for the first time, then the objectless conjugation of the verb and the indefinite article are used. For example: "Daddy bought a ball (some)". In the sentence “Dad bought a great ball (the same one)”, the object conjugation of the verb and the definite article will already be used.
If the object is absent, both conjugations can be used, but it matters here whether the verb has one. So, the words “sit”, “walk”, “stand”, “go” do not have it, so there can only be an objectless conjugation.
Case endings
Everything that in Russian belongs to the category of prepositions, in Hungarian acts as case endings added to the word. With all this, the authors of textbooks cannot agree on how many of them there are: in some textbooks it is indicated that twenty-three, in others there is a different figure - nineteen. And the fact is that the endings used to indicate the circumstance of time and place are considered case in the Hungarian language. There are also rare cases, for example, the distribution used to express the repetition of an action in time: "every day", "yearly".
Word reading
The Hungarian language is rich in words. For example, megszentségteleníthetetlen (25 letters) translates as "that which cannot be defiled". To read them correctly, they should be divided into roots or syllables. At the same time, in such structural linguistic units, a secondary (collateral) stress necessarily arises, falling on odd syllables. It is worth noting that, for example, the stress on the fifth syllable will be stronger than on the third.
How to learn Hungarian?
Learning any language is a difficult task. First of all, you should understand that this is painstaking work, and you need to treat it that way. Now there are many language courses that promise that you will master a new language in just a couple of months of classes, however, as you probably understand, this is just marketing and nothing more. Do not neglect the "grandfather" ways of mastering the language: comprehend vocabulary, systematically study grammar, memorize elementary constructions, listen to Hungarian songs, watch films with subtitles - this is the basis from which you need to build on.
Tutorials to help
Various textbooks and tutorials can help in learning the language. So, K. Vavra's textbook has good reviews - it is quite old and, of course, not ideal, but conceptually correctly built. It will be great if you also find a language course for this manual. Then you will have a complete set of tools for mastering the Hungarian language. Undoubtedly, it will not be easy to study without a teacher only on textbooks. This is especially true for grammar. You may sometimes have to guess something yourself or look for information in other books, but believe me, such a “research work” will only benefit you. Another good assistant in learning the language is Rubin Aaron's training course.
Word memorization
Many people who undertake to learn Hungarian very quickly come to the conclusion that this is a useless exercise. Not only can they not remember the words, but even just pronouncing them is beyond their power. However, the main thing in this business is desire and perseverance. Over time, you will learn to speak not only in single words, but also in sentences. Absolutely real effect gives the following method. Read a group of words into a mobile phone recorder, and then listen to the resulting recording at least ten times with headphones. You can do the same with audio recordings recorded by native speakers. Your goal is to achieve an understanding of the meaning of the spoken text without mentally translating it into Russian. Rest assured, this system really works! The main thing is to believe in yourself and keep working. Breaks in this matter are simply fatal - it is better to devote half an hour to classes every day than not to study for a week, and then try to master everything entirely and immediately.
These basic postulates, of course, apply not only to the study of Hungarian, but also to any other language. And do not forget that the approach to learning should be systematic. You should gradually comprehend phonetics, vocabulary, grammar, and so on. Some are limited to cramming individual words. It is not right. Knowing only that, for example, the word “hello” in Hungarian sounds like “jó nap”, and “thank you” - “kösz”, and so on, is unlikely to give you the opportunity to fully communicate with native speakers and understand them. Good luck!
The Hungarian language, for someone who hears it for the first time, is very unusual in its perception
Old inscriptions and tablets. Swap meet. Budapest
Try to say the following quickly, without hesitation:
"Yoryuullyok, walk megishmerkettyunk"(Örülök, hogy megismerkedtunk). This is “let me meet you” in Hungarian.
Did not work out?
Okay, then you need to ask to speak more slowly: "Keeirem, beseeien lashshabban"(Kérem, beszeljen lassabban).
Can you pronounce the name of the settlements quickly and immediately? These, for example: Sentkosmadombya or Szekesfehervar.
Or this beautiful 44-letter Hungarian word, listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the longest word in this language: Megszentségteleníthetetlenségeskedéseitekért.
If you take it apart in parts, then the word consists of:
meg- gives the verb the character of completeness
szent- "St"
seg- a suffix that makes the previous adjective a noun "holiness, sacrament"
telen- negation suffix for the subject "unholiness, filth, impiety"
it- forms a verb from the noun "desecrate, dishonor"
hetetlen- negation suffix for the action "impossibility of defilement, shame, impiety"
seg- suffix that makes a noun from an adjective
es- suffix that makes an adjective from the noun "undefiled"
kedes- suffix of constant repetitive habitual action
e- suffix belonging to a person unit. numbers
i- expresses the plurality of the subject; only immediately after vowels, except in the nominative case, not in the possessive form (szentségei - "[your/his] sacraments"; tollaid - "your hands")
tek- second person plural possessive suffix
ert- a suffix denoting "because", "because", "because", "due to".
And this word means approximately the following: "because of your (persistent) innocence."
Hungarian is considered one of the most difficult languages in the world.
The alphabetic basis of the language is the Latin alphabet. In Hungarian, nouns have no grammatical gender. Seventeen grammatical cases and a complex verb conjugation system make this language very difficult for native speakers of other languages to learn.
The obsolete name is the Magyar language. It belongs to the Finno-Ugric language group.
The closest related languages for Hungarian are Mansi and Khanty, the languages of the peoples living on the territory of Russia. And in Europe, distant related languages for the Hungarian language are Finnish and Estonian. Of course, this does not mean that representatives of these peoples will be able to understand each other by speaking their native languages. But the fact that they are related language groups is a fact.
Once in Hungary, Dranki was somewhat discouraged by the speech he heard. If you do not listen carefully to what is being said, abstract, then at first glance it may seem that you are in some Scandinavian country. The Hungarian speech is so similar in sound accents, especially when they speak fast enough.
Hungary is a beautiful country with a unique culture. And if you have the opportunity to visit there, be sure to take this opportunity. In Hungary, there is something to see, what to try gastronomically and learn a lot of new things for yourself. And the Hungarian speech is an amazing “song”. Which is very funny to listen to.
