Russian Hungarian phrase book. Hungarian-Russian phrasebook. Greetings. Acquaintance. Meeting. Parting. Useful phrases. What is the language in Hungary

The Hungarian language uses the Latin alphabet with the addition of letters with diacritics: á , é , í , ó , ö , ő , ú , ü , ű . Letters q, w, x are used mainly in words of foreign origin.

Eigenvalue also have digraphs gy, ly, ny, ty, sz, zs and their doublings ggy (dj, gyj), lly, nny, tty, ssz, zzs.

Long Hungarian vowels ( á , é , í , ó , ő , ú , ű ) are transmitted in transcription in the same way as the corresponding short ( a, e, i, o, ö , u, ü ).

2. Transliteration

Part of the Hungarian letter combinations and letters is transmitted unambiguously into Russian:

ccs	→ hh	jj, llj	→ th	b	→ b	n	→ n
ch, cs	→ h	ssz	→ ss	c	→ c	o	→ about
cz	→ c	sz	→ With	d	→ d	p	→ P
dj	→ dd	th	→ t	f	→ f	r	→ R
gh	→ G	tty	→ tt	g	→ G	s	→ w
ggy, gyj	→ dd	ty	→ be	h	→ X	t	→ t
gy	→ d	tz	→ c	i	→ and	v, w	→ in
nny	→ nn	zzs	→ LJ	k, q	→ to	x	→ ks
ny	→ ny	zs	→ and	m	→ m	z	→ h

3. L

Before vowels l → l, in other cases l → eh: Kalasz → Calas, Pal → Pal.

In Hungarian ly represents the same sound as j, and is transmitted in transcription according to the same rules.

4. J

always after vowels j → th; between consonants j → and.

Type combinations j + vowel are transmitted as follows:

At the beginning of a word and after vowels ja → I, je → e, ji → yi, jo → yo, jo → yo, ju (ju) → Yu: Jianu → Yianu, Fejercse → Feerche;

After consonants ja → ya, je → ye, ji → uh, jo → yo, jo → yo, ju (ju) → ew.

If these combinations occur at the junction of two parts of a compound word, then instead of b customary to write b.

"Transcriptor" does not know how to divide Difficult words in parts and in words unknown to him always offers b.

5. Vowels after GY, NY, TY

Entries for gy (ggy, dj, gyj), ny (nny), ty (tty) in transcription ends soft sign. Following this b vowels are displayed in transcription according to the rule a → I, ö → yo, u → Yu, ü → Yu: Gyoma → Gyoma.

6. Vowels

After all vowels except i, as well as at the beginning of the word e → uh. In other cases e → e: Elfer → Elfer.

At the beginning of a word and after vowels ö → uh. In other cases ö → yo: Mezoors → Mesöersch, Ottömös → Ettyomyos.

At the beginning of a word ü → and. In other cases ü → Yu: Tuskes → Tyushkesh.

Obsolete Hungarian letter combinations eo and ew, preserved in some names, are transmitted along the same lines as the letter ö , rules: Eotvos → Eötvös.

7. Double consonants

Doubled Hungarian consonants are transmitted as doubled and in transcription if they are in a position between vowels or at the end of a word. In other positions, doubled Hungarian consonants correspond to one consonant letter of transcription: Janossy → Yanoshshi, Palffy → Palfi.

Double Hungarian jj and lly in transcription are always transmitted as single, that is, jj, lly → th.

Hungary is a wonderful island of comfort, which is located in the heart of Europe. People from all parts of the Earth come here to take a break from the hustle and bustle of cities, try the various healing waters that this country is rich in and admire its incredible natural beauties, and, of course, ancient buildings and fortresses. Everything here is conducive to a calm, measured vacation. But you can miss a lot, or feel uncomfortable while traveling, due to the language barrier.

The language barrier is the main problem for tourists.

Phrasebooks are often full of unnecessary information, which makes it difficult to find the right word and phrase if you need it right now. We have corrected this deficiency by collecting only the most useful phrases and words, which will make it easier for you to find the right phrase at the right time.

The Russian-Hungarian dictionary is divided into sections so that you can quickly find the right words without much effort. Here are some of those sections:

Hungarian-Russian phrasebook. Greetings. Acquaintance. Meeting. Parting. Useful phrases

Greetings, dear readers! With this topic, I am opening a new section in the blog: Hungarian-Russian Phrasebook. We will memorize with you useful Hungarian words and simple phrases that will help you when communicating with the local population. Hungarians respect those foreigners who speak, even if only a little, their native Hungarian language. I will give you the necessary and frequently used words and phrases in the colloquial speech of Hungarians, which can be memorized quite quickly. Write them down in your notebook (electronic or regular) and take them with you when you decide to visit Hungary. I won't bore you with complicated grammar, just a little bit. In order to speak Hungarian correctly, you must definitely devote time and grammar.

On my own personal experience, while studying the Hungarian language, I noticed that textbooks and phrasebooks often contain words, phrases and expressions that are rarely used in real life. It is better to memorize what can be useful in practice, rather than clutter your head with unnecessary extra phrases. First of all, we must learn to communicate with the local population, at least at a simple everyday level.

To begin with, of course, you need to get acquainted with the Hungarian alphabet, this can be done on our forum "All about life in Hungary", write down all the Hungarian letters in a notebook, listen to how they are pronounced correctly, say them out loud and try to remember. Plus, be sure to watch the video tutorials for beginners, which I post every week on the site and on the forum. One of the video lessons for beginners to learn the Hungarian language, you can watch on this page, I posted it after this article. Learn with us, with our Hungarian teacher, Martha.

Hungarian words are pronounced the way they are spelled. Special attention you need to pay attention to the correct pronunciation of sounds. In Hungarian, if there is no need to emphasize something, then in this case the direct word order is used: subject, predicate, object, etc. In interrogative sentences, the reverse word order is used.

GREETINGS

The simplest and shortest word that Hungarians very often say when they greet each other in a friendly way is, of course: Szia! The word has a double meaning: Hello! and Bye! That is, with the help of this word, you can not only say hello, but also say goodbye. If we greet several people, then in this case we say Sziasztok!

Another greeting is: Halló! Hello! This word is very similar to the English version of the greeting, and is easy to remember. And you can say hello and say goodbye like this: Szervusz! This word is often used between those who are on "you" or when an older person refers to a familiar younger one.

Consider polite, so-called formal greetings. Depending on what time of day your communication takes place, namely in the morning, afternoon or evening, the words of greeting will be slightly different.

In the morning: Jó reggelt kivanok! Good morning!

Afternoon: Jó napot kivanok ! Good afternoon!

In the evening: Jó estet kivanok! Good evening!

And late in the evening: Jó éjszakát kívánok! Goodnight!

As you probably already noticed, only part of the phrase changes, which just indicates the time of day: reggel - morning; nap - day; este - evening.

The word kívánok can be translated as - I wish.

If literally translated, it will turn out: I wish you a good (good) morning, afternoon, evening, night. You can often hear that the last word: kívánok in these greeting phrases is not pronounced: Jó napot ! Jo estet! Jo ejszakat!

ACQUAINTANCE

After you've said hello to someone you don't already know, try to get to know them better. State your name. It's very simple. Suffice it to say the following: Ivanov Iván (your first and last name) vagyok. I am Ivanov Ivan (My name is Ivanov Ivan).

It must be remembered that it is customary for Hungarians to first call the surname, and then the name, and not vice versa.

Or you can introduce yourself like this: A nevem Ivanov Ivanov. My name is Ivanov Ivan.

Now ask the name of your interlocutor: Hogy hivnak? What is your name?

Or more politely: Hogy hívják önt ?What is your name?

After your interlocutor says his name, you can say the following phrase: Nagyon örvendék! Which means: Very nice! Then you can ask if he speaks in Russian, while saying the following phrase: Ön beszél oroszul? Do you speak Russian?

If you hear in response: Igen, egy kicsit beszélek oroszul (Yes, I speak Russian a little), or: Igen, én beszélék oroszul (Yes, I speak Russian), then consider yourself lucky and you can continue talk now in Russian.

If they say to you: Nem, én nem beszélek oroszul (No, I don't speak Russian), then we continue to talk in Hungarian :)

But first, let's remember simple, but very important words that we met in interrogative sentences and answers:

Nem - no, not

Ön - you (polite third person pronoun, singular)

Bezélek - (I) speak

Oroszul - in Russian

Kissit - a little

Magyar - Hungarian

Vagyok - I am, I am (the form of the verb to be is lenni)

Vagy - you are, you are

Let's try to make some simple phrases. For example, your interlocutor may ask you: Ön orosz? You are Russian?

Your answer: Igen, orosz vagyok. Yes I am Russian.

Your question: On magyar? Are you Hungarian?

Possible answer: Igen, magyar vagyok.

Or: Nem, en nem vagyok magyar. Osztrak vagyok.

No, I am not Hungarian. I am an Austrian (-yka).

Here we met only three new words, these are:

Orosz - Russian;

Magyar- Hungarian;

Osztrak is an Austrian.

Consider a situation where you met a Hungarian friend. Hello. What's next to say? Ask him how he's doing: Hogy vagy? How are you? (friendly informal form). Or a more polite, formal title: Hogy van? How are you doing?

You can also ask like this:

Mi újság ? What's the news? What's new?

Possible answer:

Minden jo. Everything is fine.

Semmi erdekes. Nothing interesting.

Semmy juj. Nothing new.

Minden a regi. Everything is old.

We noticed that the phrases are short, easy to pronounce and easy to remember. This is very important for those who are afraid of long, difficult to pronounce Hungarian words, and just starting to study, they give up this business, concluding for themselves that they will never master such a difficult Hungarian language. Your language will be tangled for a long time when pronouncing Hungarian words, so let's not rush, first we will remember simple short words and phrases.

After the interlocutor has told you about how he is doing, he will definitely ask you:

Es te? And how are you?

Esön? And how are you? And how are you)?

We cheerfully answer that everything is in order, no one expects from you detailed description your affairs, and even more problems, this is a mere formality:

Koszonom, jól. Thank you, OK.

Koszonom, nagyon jól. Thanks, very good.

Minden rendben van. Everything is fine.

PARTING

This word is not easy for beginners to learn the Hungarian language, but we cannot do without it. Therefore, we remember! First, say it in syllables: Viszontlátásra! Goodbye! (polite official form).

A shorter informal form: Viszlát! Goodbye! And already familiar to you: Szia! Bye!

Remember that in Hungarian words the stress always falls on the first syllable!!!

USEFUL HUNGARY WORDS AND PHRASES

And a few more useful phrases today: Köszönöm szépen! Thanks a lot!

If translated literally, it will turn out: Thank you beautifully!

These important words must be in your vocabulary if you are in Hungary. We say them everywhere and to everyone when we want to thank someone!

In response, we usually hear: Szívesen! Please! With pleasure!

Or Nincs mit! Not worth it! My pleasure! Kerem! Please!

This word is often used at the beginning of interrogative sentences when you address someone with a request: Elnézést, ... Excuse me, ....

For example: Elnézést, nem mondaná meg, hol van a bolt? Excuse me, can you please tell me where the shop is? Or Elnézest kérek .... Excuse me..

If you want to apologize for your act, for example when you accidentally stepped on someone's foot, then in this case you can limit yourself to one word: Bocsánat! Sorry! Or Bocsanatot kerek! Excuse me, please!

Catchphrase: Nem értem! I do not understand! Say this if, for example, you do not understand what is being said to you in Hungarian.

Here is another not complicated phrase: Milyen kár! What a pity! Say it if you want to express feelings of regret.

Mit paransol? What do you desire? What would you like? And literally sounds like: What do you order? You can often hear this phrase in shops, cafes, restaurants and other consumer service establishments.

Your possible answer: Szeretnék... I would like to...

That's all for today! I think that your brains have not yet boiled from the Hungarian language and I will see you again on the pages of my blog! Bye! Szia!
