Useful Hungarian phrases to learn while in Budapest 

Hi! - Szia!
How to pronounce it: See-yaw
What it means: Basically it means "hi!" but it can also mean goodbye. Double it up for a friendly
"szia-szia" when you're leaving friends.

How are you? - Hogy vagy?

How to pronounce it: Haw-j Vah-j (j as in joke)
What it means: Literally "how are you?" Make sure you ask this only if you really want to know how
the other person is as this question is likely to elicit a long, detailed explanation of everything
happening in their life - good or bad.

What’s up? - Mi újság?

How to pronounce it: Me ooh-y-shaarg? (y as in yolk)
What it means: Basically this means "what's news?" It generally gets a much simpler response than
"hogy vagy?" A typical response is "minden ok," which means "everything's ok." If your Hungarian
lessons are progressing well you can even just ask "mizu?" (pronounced: me-zoo), which is slang
for "mi újság?" If you're using "mizu?" then ten gold stars for you!

How much is it? - Mennyibe kerül?

How to pronounce it: Men-yee-beh ker-ool
What it means: "How much is it?"

'What time is it? - Mennyi az idő?

How to pronounce it: Man-yee aw-z id-err
What it means: 'What time is it?"

Where am I? - Hol vagyok?

How to pronounce it: Whole vah-j-ork (j as in joke)
What it means: "Where am I?" Maybe it's time to ask for directions or to consult your map.

I'd like a beer / wine / pálinka! - Kérek egy sört / bort / pálinkát!
How to pronounce it: Keh-rack a-j (a as in apple, j as in joke) cher-t (Cher as in the singer) / bore-t
/ pah-lin-cart
What it means: "I'd like a beer / wine / pálinka." And that brings us to what is possibly THE most
important word in the Hungarian language: pálinka. This is a Hungarian fruit brandy that comes
in flavours like plum, honey, cherry, apricot etc. It's a potent spirit that you'll either love or hate, but
no matter what you must try it at least once while in Budapest.

You're pretty! - Csinos vagy!

How to pronounce it: Chee-nosh vah-j (j as in joke)
What it means: "You're pretty." You would normally say this to a girl. Spread the love! If you see a
pretty girl, let her know.

 15

I'm hungry! - Éhes vagyok!

How to pronounce it: Eh-hash Vah-j-ork (j as in joke)
What it means: "I'm hungry!!!!" Well you won't be for long! Budapest is full of great culinary options
and traditional Hungarian food is hearty to say the least.

Cheers! - Egészségedre!
How to pronounce it: Ag-esh-sheg-ad-reh
What it means: "Cheers!" Make sure you clink glasses and say this before taking the first sip of your
alcoholic beverage. And make sure you look the person in the eye! It's considered rude not to in
Hungary.

Bon appetite! - Jó étvágyat!

How to pronounce it: Yoh-ehrt-vah-jot (y as in yolk, j as in joke)
What it means: "Bon appetit!" Waiters often say this when placing meals on the table, and if you're
eating a meal with a Hungarian they'll definitely say this before starting to eat.

I am full. - Tele vagyok.

How to pronounce it: Te-le Vah-jork
What it means: "I'm full!" You'll probably say this more than once, while you're in Budapest
especially because what we call street-food snacks like lángos will literally keep you full for the
whole day. Also if you're trying things like Hungarian gulyás soup there's no way you'll be left
hungry.

It was delicious! - Finom volt!

How to pronounce it: Fee-nom vault
What it means: "It was yummy!" You can say this to the waiter when he asks how your dish was, or
just say "finom!" while eating as an exclamation of delight - "yum!"

Which way is Szimpla? - Merre van a Szimpla?

How to pronounce it: Meh-reh vahn aw Seem-plah
What it means: "Which way is Szimpla?" If you haven't yet heard, Szimpla is Budapest's first and
most famous ruin pub. It's a favourite of tourists and Erasmus students.

Let's meet for a coffee! - Találkozzunk egy kávéra!

How to pronounce it: Ta-lahl-cozz-oonk eh-j kah-veh-ra (j as in joke)
What it means: "Let's meet for a coffee."

Kiss me! - Csókolj meg!

How to pronounce it: Choc-ohly mag! (y as in yolk)
What it means: "Kiss me, beneath the milky twilight, Lead me out on the moonlit floor." Well
actually it just means "kiss me" and if things are progressing well during your stay in Budapest this
could be one of the best phrases you learn. But beware: if you've just met the person, this phrase
could either get you kissed or punched in the face.

I love you! - Szeretlek!

How to pronounce it: Ser-at-lack
What it means: "I love you!"

I hope you will enjoy your stay. Even if we don’t meet in person, if you have any issues or looking
for guidance, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us. Technology is our friend. 
