POST
John: Listen again to Anna's post.
Lena: Végre itthon! Nagyon elfáradtam.
John: "Finally, I'm home! I'm very tired."
Lena: (SLOW) Végre itthon! Nagyon elfáradtam. (Regular) Végre itthon! Nagyon elfáradtam.
John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "Finally, I'm home!"
Lena: Végre itthon!
John: Use this expression when you want to express that you couldn't wait to get home from somewhere. Listen again - "Finally, I'm home!" is...
Lena: (SLOW) Végre itthon! (REGULAR) Végre itthon!
John: Then comes the phrase "I'm very tired."
Lena: Nagyon elfáradtam.
John: The first word means "very" and can be used to exaggerate conditions, such as in this example. The second word is a verb in the past tense without the personal pronoun, since it's indicated by the suffix. Listen again - "I'm very tired" is...
Lena: (SLOW) Nagyon elfáradtam. (REGULAR) Nagyon elfáradtam.
John: All together, it's "Finally, I'm home! I'm very tired."
Lena: Végre itthon! Nagyon elfáradtam.
