Some interesting facts about the Hungarian language

  • the Hungarian call themselves "magyar" and they use that for the language as well 😮
  • only approximately 13 million people speak Hungarian 
  • the world order is flexible, but you still have to learn some rules because there are some rules
  • its longest word has 44 letters: "megszentségteleníthetetlenségeskedéseitekért". It means “for your [plural] continued behavior as if you could not be desecrated”. (No worries, we have long words, but never use this one!) 😲
  • we have two words for red: "piros" and "vörös". The wine and the rose are always "vörös", but cars or clothes are "piros" 😉
  • the Hungarian alphabet has 44 letters and some letters have two or three parts, for example, "sz", "cs" and "dzs" 
If you want to be part of these 13 million people, start to learn with me!
