Lesson Transcript

 INTRODUCTION
Simone: Hi everyone and welcome to Upper Beginner Hungarian, season 1, lesson 7, The Diet Can Wait Until Tomorrow in Hungary. I am Simone.
Csaba: And I am Csaba.
Simone: In this lesson we’ll finally leave all those possessives behind and learn a couple of simple noun cases to form sentences like “go to Peter” and “go for Peter.”
Csaba: The conversation takes place at Susan’s.
Simone: The conversation is between Susan and Péter.
Csaba: They use the informal language.
Simone: Take it away.
DIALOGUE
Dani: Még korán van. Átmenjünk Petihez?
Susan: Menjünk, Petinél mindig van valami desszert.
Dani: Előtte leugrom a boltba chipsért meg piáért.
Susan: Kocsival megyünk?
Dani: Nem, sétáljunk. Jó idő van.
English Host: Let’s hear the conversation one time slowly.
Dani: Még korán van. Átmenjünk Petihez?
Susan: Menjünk, Petinél mindig van valami desszert.
Dani: Előtte leugrom a boltba chipsért meg piáért.
Susan: Kocsival megyünk?
Dani: Nem, sétáljunk. Jó idő van.
English Host: Now let’s hear it with the English translation.
Dani: Még korán van. Átmenjünk Petihez?
Simone: It's still early. You want to go over to Pete's?
Susan: Menjünk, Petinél mindig van valami desszert.
Simone: Let's go. There is always some kind of dessert at his place.
Dani: Előtte leugrom a boltba chipsért meg piáért.
Simone: First, I'll go downstairs to the store for some chips and booze.
Susan: Kocsival megyünk?
Simone: Are we taking the car?
Dani: Nem, sétáljunk. Jó idő van.
Simone: No, let's walk. The weather is nice.
POST CONVERSATION BANTER
Simone: Talking about desserts, what is the one you always have in Hungary?
Csaba: My personal favorite is called krémes. This is a creamy, yellow dessert, made of sugar, eggs and milk, with a little bit of crust on the top.
Simone: And it comes in fist-sized cubes. I know that one. You literally hear it sticking to your ribs.
Csaba: Well, desserts are not supposed to be healthy or slimming. If you prefer salty treats, we recommend pogácsa, which comes in many different versions, but the basis is always a bread-like dough baked.
Simone: To which they add cottage cheese or bacon or potatoes even.
Csaba: It is more of a full meal than a dessert actually. Oh, and one more sweet thing, and I’m really bringing out the big guns
Simone: How would you describe that to the listeners?
Csaba: Sugar induced coma. There is a lot of cream on top of a layer of sweet cottage cheese and a bit of crust for show. It is great and terrible at the same time.
Simone: All right, let’s take a look at the key vocabulary.

VOCAB AND PHRASE USAGE
Simone: Let's have a closer look at the usage for some of the words and phrases from this lesson.
Csaba: The first sentence we cover is a prefix-word compound
Simone: “Go over.”
Csaba: Let’s put it in a sentence
Simone: “I'm going over to mom's.”
Csaba: Átmegyek anyuhoz. The prefix át- is “over, through, across.”
Simone: All right, let’s move on.
Csaba: The second sentence we cover is a prefix-verb compound.
Simone: Wait... Am I having a deja vu?
Csaba: No, we really do use them very often. Leugrom a boltba. The verb here is leugrom, or “I jump down.” Besides the literal meaning, to “jump down from someplace” it also means “to run down” to a store or the pub. A short trip, basically.
Simone: Say the sentence again.
Csaba: Leugrom a boltba.
Simone: “I’m running down to the store.”
Csaba: The next one is easy. Pia means “booze.” Not much else to say about it, an informal way to call alcoholic beverages.
Simone: And what is the last vocab item?
Csaba: Jó idő van means “the weather is nice.” Idő, which also means “time,” means “weather” in these sentences.
Simone: “something”… idő van is like “the weather is ...”
Csaba: Right, any kind of adjective works here. Rossz idő van.
Simone: “The weather is bad.”
Csaba: Rossz idő van.
Simone: Let’s teach them one more adjective you can use in this sentence.
Csaba: Esős idő van.
Simone: “The weather is rainy.” Esős is “rainy.”
Csaba: Esős idő van.
Simone: All right, let’s see what we have for grammar in this lesson.

Lesson focus

Simone: In this lesson we’re going to teach you a couple of simple noun endings. More specifically we’ll teach you to express meanings like “to Peter” and “for Peter.”
Csaba: Átmenjünk Petihez?
Simone: “Shall we go over to Pete's?”
Csaba: Átmenjünk Petihez? This is the first sentence we have to cover. Átmenjünk is “shall we go over.” Petihez is Peti, or “Pete” with the case ending -hez. -hez, attached to a noun means “to that noun.”
Simone: But I’m guessing that there are more than one forms for this suffix, to match the vowels of the noun.
Csaba: There are three actually
Simone: “I'll park the car at the/by the house.”
Csaba: A házhoz parkolok. This time we attached -hoz, because ház, or “house” is a back vowel noun.
Simone: Let’s take a look at another sentence from the dialogue.
Csaba: Petinél mindig van valami desszert.
Simone: “There is always some kind of dessert at his place.”
Csaba: Petinél mindig van valami desszert. This time the poor guy’s name has -nél attached to it. Petinél. This means “at Pete’s, by Pete.” The ending -nél, or the back vowel version, -nál expresses “existence at or by” a certain noun.
Simone: Let’s hear a back vowel word too.
Csaba: A táskám az asztalnál van.
Simone: “My bag is by the table.”
Csaba: A táskám az asztalnál van. Asztal is “table” and it is a back vowel word. Therefore “by the table” is asztalnál.
Simone: All right, anything else?
Csaba: Leugrom a boltba chipsért meg piáért.
Simone: “I'll go downstairs to the store for some chips and booze.”
Csaba: Leugrom a boltba chipsért meg piáért. Chipsért is “for chips” and piáért is “for booze.” the ending -ért means “for.”
Simone: Can I attach this to names as well?
Csaba: Sure. Leugrom Tamásért.
Simone: “I’ll run down to get Thomas.”
Csaba: Leugrom Tamásért. This is what you would say when you o downstairs to let him in the building.
Simone: What is the other vowel form.
Csaba: Great news, there is none. Any noun can take -ért. There aren’t many case endings that only have one form.
Simone: Well that is great news to the end of the lesson. Guys, make sure you read the PDF guide for further examples.
