These are the greatest real estate development projects in Budapest in 2022! – PHOTOS

1. Once again the DNH is misusing the word ‘boom’ where the article says ‘projects in Budapest that will boom’.. It is a noun that describes a sound – a project cannot boom, it does not make a sound. It would be correct to use the adjective form ‘booming’ as in ‘urban developments in Budapest are booming and we are presenting the most significant ones for 2022’. The golden rule with these sorts of words in English is ‘if in doubt, leave it out’.

   • Dear Lexicon, thanks for your comment. We always appreciate our readers’ constructive feedbacks; however, this time we have to disagree.

     Nevertheless, if you see any possible mishaps in the future, kindly let us know. 🙂

2. Dear Eleanor, thank you for trying (and failing) to correct a native English speaker. The example in the link are reliant upon context. In ‘A property boom’ the object of the sentence is the ‘property’ ‘boom’ is being as an adjective. ”Boom and bust’ is the description of a cycle invented by Karl Marx and is using ‘boom’ as a verb, ‘to boom’ and might be considered an idiom. In the article, the use of ‘boom’ is as a noun and thus WRONG.

   • Dear Lexicon, again we appreciate your feedback. As you understand, English is not our mother tongue but we always try our best to provide valuable content to our readers. Newspapers can make mistakes sometimes, so can native speakers. Perhaps, the thousands of Google results for this phrase have also confused us. Besides, contemporary English has been constantly changing. It becomes less restrictive over time. There is more freedom to play with certain phrases. Nevertheless, we may consider refraining from using it in the future. Enjoy your day and our other articles! 🙂

3. The WINNER is – Lexicon.
   Eleonora your explanations read that in attitude you appear not liking to be corrected nor critized.
   Commentators in the past year have taken time to point out that journalists of the DNH should pay greater attention to English word usage and expressions.
   DNH has not taken advice to have a proof reading facility, that would play an important role, in word usage and alignment of phases, the subjects, that articles are being written.
   Malapropism is the mistaken use of an incorrect word in place of a word with a similar sound, that results in a non-sensenical, sometimes humourous utterance.
   DNH has been Guilty – of Malapropism.

   In my Professorship – the constant need of predominantly Hungarian students needing assistance guidance to develope and deepen there knowledge and Education in Law, students wishing to look at careers especially in International Law, need, of correcting, word usage and expression of terms, that are not aligned to standard correct English grammar.

   My advice over decades to those who have a writing problem find it difficult to “paint a picture” using a pen or key board, is to READ.
   Hungarians the number of English novels given to students over time by me, to assist them with there English reading and writing would be sizeable.
   Never has a student refused my gift.

   “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee brillant read that if you haven’t read – Elenora, educational.
   Harper Lee she wrote with interesting English word usage that decades on first published in 1960 this novel internationally used in Education and private reading.
   The message of “To Kill a Mockingbird ” ???
   Great Message for Life, contained in the read of “To Kill a Mockingbird” – the need – of Tolerance & Compassion.

4. Eleonora – ignore comments like that

   No matter if you’re correct or not you look like a fool in replying

5. Supply continues to over-burden – DEMAND.
   Lack of Foreign Investment – remembering the past decade in Hungary – foreign investment PLAYED a Major Role – in the Esculation or Explosion – in the Property Market Values – the Broadsheet Property Markets inclusive of Warehousing and Storage Facilities.
   Forign Investment – came from, in this order :
   (1) – China.
   (2)- Vietnam.
   (3) – Germany.

   Supply over-powers Demand – and as we “build on” or renovate on – open new hotels or renovate existing hotels – its a NUMBERS Game.
   The weight of NUMBERS – the Economy languishing under burdening growing pressure – the un-certainty – into the Future – property VALUES – must Decline – coming back to a Levalling up postion, that Benefits – Everyone.

   The Hungarian Economy – all Major key Financial & Economic Indicators – used Globally, by Respected Organizations – to access the performance of a country at present and into the Future, highlight the trends of Hungary, heading in a direction, that clearly indicate, we have Major Economic& Financial Problems – at present and going forward.
   The Hungarian Forint – its on-going Devaluation against other Major Currencies – Spine-Chilling.

   Inflation – continues to Rise.
   Nothing – is Getting Cheaper.

   Tourism – “paper thin” – quite non-existant – that it can not be FORGOTTEN – 9.3% of the GDP of Hungary – is “Feed” and received into the Hungarian Government – its Balance Sheet – by Tourism.

   Supply over Demand – weight of numbers, the state of the economy, currency weakness, and the on-going existance of a noval virus – these are just situations – and there are others – that must be taken SERIOUSLY – when looking into entering into the Property Market.

   Don’t bring out those Cheque books at present – or for the next 9 to 18 months.

   We live in a changed World post February 2020 – that still has layers to travel before we AGAIN see in Hungary and Globally – normality of life returning.
   Hungary – April/May 2022 – holding National Elections – adds to this sensitive and volatile time – we ALL live.
