Learn Hungarian – Part 3: Essential Hungarian verbs and adjectives
Change language:
Verbs and adjectives are critical parts of any language. Usually, they make sense to a sentence alongside with nouns, adverbs or numerals. Let’s look at eight common Hungarian verbs and adjectives!
On this week, you can learn Hungarian essentials again, and this time, the topic is verbs and adjectives! Thanks to Hungarian Pod, you can easily learn Hungarian at any levels through colourful pictures!
Adjectives:
To learn adjectives is way easier in Hungarian, than verbs, because adjectives are less connected to strict grammar rules.
Other very useful Hungarian adjectives:
few/little – KEVÉS (pronunciation: keh-veesh)
many/much/a lot – SOK (prn.: shok)
tiny – APRÓ
huge – HATALMAS
Verbs:
There is no doubt that Hungarian verbs are harder to learn than adjectives because we have to conjugate them. These verbs are probably used in all Hungarian’s language on a daily basis, but you may say these words in your language, too, regardless of where you are from around the world.
These eight verbs are not in infinitive forms, however. They are third person singular form, so the way you can see it on the picture is he/she is (…) (eating/drinking/sleeping) OR he/she (…) (eats, drinks, sleeps).
Infinitive forms:
- To eat – ENNI
- To drink – INNI
- To sleep – ALUDNI
- To think – GONDOLNI / GONDOLKODNI
- To understand – ÉRTENI
- To speak – BESZÉLNI / BESZÉLGETNI
- To leave – TÁVOZNI
- To run – FUTNI
