🌊 Do you like the sea? What’s your favourite seaside destination?

Hungary doesn’t have a sea, but we have beautiful Lake Balaton – the Hungarian Sea! 🇭🇺💙

What do you see when you look up at the sky? 🌤️🌙

In this Reel, you’ll learn some useful Hungarian words connected to the sky:

🌌 ég – sky
☀️ nap – sun
☁️ felhő – cloud
🌙 hold – Moon
⭐ csillag / csillagok – star / stars

You’ll also notice something interesting: after látom (I see), these words change:

ég → eget
nap → napot
felhő → felhőt
Hold → Holdat
csillag → csillagot

Don’t worry about the grammar yet — just listen, repeat, and start noticing the pattern.

És most rajtad a sor! Mit látsz, ha felnézel az égre?
What do you see when you look up at the sky?

Come with me to a Hungarian market! 🍓🥕🫑
*
Today we're going shopping at a traditional Hungarian market.
*
Along the way, you'll learn useful Hungarian words and expressions in a real-life situation while we pick up fresh fruit and vegetables.
*
Can you remember the names of these?
🍓 eper
🍅 paradicsom
🫑 paprika
🥒 uborka
🍒 cseresznye
🍑 őszibarack
🥕 sárgarépa
🥬 fehérrépa
🌿 zeller
*
🥣 And, of course, we'll also buy everything we need for a traditional Hungarian Sunday chicken soup!
*
💡 You may have noticed something interesting about Hungarian.
*
Even though we're looking at lots of tomatoes, peaches, strawberries, or cherries, Hungarians often use the singular:
🍅 Milyen szép paradicsom!
🍑 Na és az őszibarack!
🍓 De szép eper!
*
In English we'd normally use the plural, but Hungarian often treats these as collective or mass nouns.
*
I'll explain why in another video, so stay tuned!
*
👇 What would you buy at this market? Let me know in the comments!
*
🎥 And I have some exciting news! My latest YouTube lesson has just been published. You'll find the link in the first comment below this Reel.
*

☀️ Summer is here! Are you going on holiday?
*
In this short video, you'll learn how to say:
*
🏖️ tengerpartra – to the sea (literally) / to the seaside
🏞️ folyópartra – to the river (literally) / to the riverside
🌊 tópartra – to the lake (literally) / to the lakeside
⛰️ a hegyekbe – to the mountains
🏕️ kempingbe – to a campsite
🌳 vidékre – to the countryside
🏙️ városba – to a town or city
❤️ Szegedre – to Szeged, my hometown in Hungary
*
You'll also discover one of the most useful Hungarian grammar patterns:
*
👉 When do we use the endings -ba/-be, and when do we use -ra/-re?
*
If you're learning Hungarian, don't rush.
*
🌱 Take it one step at a time and keep it simple.
*
Like every language, Hungarian has general rules, but it also has exceptions. The important thing is to learn the patterns first and the exceptions later.
*
Now it's your turn!
*
Ti mentek nyaralni? Ha igen, akkor hová mentek?
*
Are you going on holiday? If so, where are you going?
*

P.S.

Sometimes, one completely innocent word in Hungarian can sound very different to English ears. 😄
*
In this Reel, you'll discover how a perfectly normal way of saying goodbye in Hungarian can leave English speakers thinking something completely different!
*
Language is full of these funny little surprises, often called false friends—words that sound similar across languages but have completely different meanings.
*
Have you ever come across a word in another language that made you laugh or caught you completely off guard? Tell me in the comments!

Happy learnining!
