Cultural Insight
Eric: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight.
Lena: If someone you didn't expect is knocking at your door in Hungary, Ki az? is the most common question you can ask. When you knock at a friend's door and he or she asks Ki az?, you can answer with Én vagyok. When you attend a party and want to know who other people at the party are, ask your friend: Kik azok az emberek?, meaning “Who are those people?”, to find out.
