Lesson focus
In this lesson, we'll introduce you to a phrase that will help you get to the places you need to be! In some places, trains and subways are the way to travel, but it's also very useful to know how to rent a car, scooter, or bicycle.
In Hungarian, "I would like to rent a car" is Szeretnék autót bérelni.
Let's break it down by syllable: Sze-ret-nék a-u-tót bé-rel-ni
Now let's hear it once again: Szeretnék autót bérelni.
The first word, szeretnék, is one of the words we already covered in some previous lessons and it means, "I would like."
Let's break down this word and see it one more time: sze-ret-nék and szeretnék.
Next, we have: autót, which in English is "car" in the accusative. autót, autót.
The last word in the sentence is bérelni, which means "to rent."
Let's hear that again: bérelni, bérelni.
The whole sentence again: Szeretnék autót bérelni.
Szeretnék autót bérelni.
"Motorbike" in Hungarian is motor, but again, we need the accusative, motort.
Let's use it in our sentence now: Szeretnék motort bérelni.
Szeretnék motort bérelni.
Renting a scooter is not as popular as in some Mediterranean countries, but you might want to try that too: Szeretnék robogót bérelni.
Szeretnék robogót bérelni.
Again, we only have one new word, robogót, or "scooter" in the accusative.
Szeretnék robogót bérelni.
Finally, why not rent a bike as well?
Szeretnék biciklit bérelni.
Szeretnék biciklit bérelni.
Biciklit means "bike," in the accusative.
If you're renting something, it's also important to know when you must return it! Therefore, we're giving you a phrase you can use to make sure you return it on time.
In Hungarian, "When must I return it?" is Mikor kell leadni?
Let's break it down by syllable: Mi-kor kell le-ad-ni?
Now let's hear it once again: Mikor kell leadni?
The first word, mikor means, "when."
Let's breakdown this word and see it one more time. mi-kor, mikor.
Next, we have: kell, which in English is "must."
kell, kell.
Then we have: leadni, which literally means, "to give down" here it's "to return"
leadni, leadni.
All together, we have: Mikor kell leadni? Literally, this means, "when must I return it?"
Mikor kell leadni?
Finally, you may want to return it at a different location.
In Hungary "Can I return it somewhere else?" is: Leadhatom máshol is?
Leadhatom máshol is?
Leadhatom means "I return,"
leadhatom, leadhatom.
The second word is máshol, "somewhere else."
Máshol, máshol.
Finally, we have is, or "too."
Is, is.
The entire sentence again: Leadhatom máshol is?
Leadhatom máshol is?
The answer should be a big yes and the name of the location. Igen, .... If you're unlucky, they'll say Nem, itt kell, which literally means "No, here must."
Nem, itt kell.
Nem, itt kell.

Outro
Okay, to close out today's lesson, we'd like for you to practice what you've just learned. I'll provide you with the English equivalent of the phrase and you're responsible for shouting it aloud. You'll have a few seconds before I give you the answer; so, sok szerencsét, which means "good luck" in Hungarian.
