Some of the only simple things about Hungarian is that we don't have all those tenses like English does. English has 12 tenses (3 for each), Hungarian only has 3. And often only 2 in practice as you can express future with speaking in present as well. The past you signify by adding a "t" to the end of the verb. So "do" in present (third person) would be "csinál", and in past it would simply change to "csinált".

Another simple thing is that the way we write things is the way we say them (almost always), unlike in Enlgish where the pronounciation often depends on god knows what. jj4 Like you pronounce the "c" differently in each of these: chat, cat, and celestial. xtina1

You won't get that with us, but as stated in the article a lot of the vowels are incredibly hard to pronounce if you're not a native speaker. (ö, ő, ü, ű in particular)

ő and ű - they are simply pronounced as a longer version of ö and ü btw - don't even exist in any other alphabet just ours I believe, so they always look shit in fonts that don't have them (which is almost all of them) jj4

If you want to hear have certain words are pronounced you could just always hit the little speaker button in Google translate. jj2

Well, we're all taught them learning English. But we know that about half of them isn't even or very rarely used.

As I said, type them in to Google translate and make it say them. jj2 They are pronounced the same way always.

But if you want to hear them in words try these:

ügyes (clever, skillfull)  btw "gy" is meant to be one letter. moo1 We have some of these double letters.

űr, űrhajó (space, spaceship)

öreg (old)

őz (roe/European deer)
