Why do you use Irish music as a soundtrack rather than Hungarian?

Szia Dorottya,

Szívesen.

I can't wait to visit Budapest!

Unfortunately, I have to wait for Cristmas 13 more days (until 7th January) (I'm Orthodox).

Boldog Karácsonyt, Dorottya, and have a nice day! ?

Szia egy kettő három :laughing:

Forgot a translation: "Ez egy nagyon hasznos lecke!"- "This is very useful lesson!":smile:

Ez egy nagyon hasznos lecke! I'm traveling to Budapest for Cristmas to see how does it look then, and, of course, to practice Hungarian! :wink::thumbsup:

Hi Viola,

I still stand by that explanation.:smile: For starters, don't make the nouns plural, if there is a numeral preceding it.:smile:

Van két kutya,

“I have two dogs”

This is not correct though, but not because of the plural-singular issue, but because possessives have to marked on the noun too.

Van két kutyám.

"I have two dogs"

("Dogs" still singular in Hungarian.)

Hey.

To quote you from another session: "In Hungarian, though there is a plural form of nouns, it is only used in constructions like "The dogs went home" and not in simple quantitative-noun constructions, like "three dogs."

A sample here is: Azok női cipők.

"Those are women's shoes."

but

Van két kutya,

"I have two dogs"

Can you please explain the rules for where one is going to make it plural? ::open_mouth:

Thanks for your question Spencer. A good, polite way to ask would be "Elnézést, kérhetnék vécé papírt?" This translates to 'Excuse me, may I request some toilet paper?' You should recognize elnézést from previous lessons, while kérhetnék breaks down to 'request, may I'; vécé comes from this lesson, and papír means paper and has the accusative ending here. I hope that helps.

Since we are on the subject of bathrooms, how does a person ask for toilet paper if there is none? How does this question differ in the unfortunate event you mus t request someone (a stranger) bring it to you after business has begun? Thanks for another very useful lesson and taking the question with a straight face.
