Hungarian Language & Culture

Hungarian Language & Culture

You can learn here a lot about the Hungarian language and culture from a native Hungarian perspective.

I am Daniel and I was born in Budapest and I've lived here ever since. I have a very curious mind and I love to travel. My aim is to show the unique and interesting parts of Hungary and its language in a way as I would like to experience as a traveller and language learner.

I really enjoy exploring subtle or big differences between cultures and I would like to share my journey with you.

    It's a funny fact that in recent months I've been thinking about this too, how to explain to a foreigner that it's not "Budapeszt" but "Budapest

    Interested in the drawing of the numbers. "Euro-style" as I've always thought of it. Do you usually cross the 7? The 1 is quite different too.

    Good observation! I would say we usually cross the 7 when you write, but I'm sure there are people who don't do that. I can't think of another way to write 1 🤔😁

  • @hunfun_dani
    @hunfun_dani15 күн бұрын

    I looked at some pictures. So you don't make a half arrow of the 1. Then you don't need to cross your seven. Otherwise they would be easily mistaken with one another. I also think the European way is better if you mix numbers in a text. Is it an I or I (1)? 😁🤔

    I was brought up with hungarian along with English here in Australia. The only problem is that my vocabulary is still stuck in the 1950s, and when I listen to hungarian, there are so manny new words I have trouble understanding.

    Just found your channel. I am subcribing. Make more videos with the movies please, nobody cares about the design, just record your screen with subtitles and explain the meaning of the words with some useful examples, the people want to hear the native (in that way you will obtain lots of hours of visualization and will get some money). You can see the video I did (the last one), I've just explained italian words and phrases in russian and apparently people loved it, even if the quality of image was horrible (I'm not advertising my channel of course ha). Just glad I found something similar to what I did. Thank you man. P.s. in my opinion modern movies have modern vocabulary, so they are more useful rather than old tales. Just hype with the Barbie movie or some stuff like that, if it ever has been translated into Hungarian. Hope your channel will become successful soon.
