| Michael: In this lesson, you'll learn how to respond to the common question Do you have any brothers or sisters? In Hungarian this is |
| Lena: Vannak testvéreid? |
| Michael: The first word in the question is |
| Lena: Vannak |
| Michael: meaning “there are” or “have you” |
| Lena: (Slow, by syllable) Vannak |
| Michael: Listen again and repeat. |
| Lena: Vannak |
| {Pause} |
| Michael: This pattern of first introducing a word at natural speed, providing the translation, breaking it down, and then giving it again at natural speed will be repeated throughout the series. Try to speak aloud as often as possible. The next word in the question is |
| Lena: testvéreid |
| Michael: meaning “your siblings” |
| Lena: (Slow, by syllable) testvéreid |
| Michael: Now repeat. |
| Lena: testvéreid |
| {Pause} |
| Michael: Listen to the entire question and repeat. |
| Lena: Vannak testvéreid? |
| {pause} |
| Michael: Master the following pattern and responses to the question Do you have any brothers or sisters? |
| Lena: Van egy húgom. |
| Michael: "I have a younger sister." Again, slowly. Repeat the phrase. |
| Lena: (Slow) Van egy húgom. |
| {pause} |
| Michael: Let's break it down from the beginning. The first word: |
| Lena: Van |
| Michael: means “there are” or “I have” |
| Lena: (Slow, by syllable) Van |
| Michael: Now repeat |
| Lena: Van |
| {Pause} |
| Michael: And after that |
| Lena: egy húgom |
| Michael: meaning “a younger sister”. |
| Lena: (Slow, by syllable) egy húgom |
| Michael: Now repeat. |
| Lena: egy húgom |
| Michael: Listen to the speaker say, “I have a younger sister.”, and then repeat. |
| Lena: Van egy húgom. |
| {pause} |
| Michael: To expand on the pattern, replace “a younger sister” with “an older brother.” |
| Lena: egy bátyám |
| Michael: an older brother |
| Lena: (slow) egy bátyám (regular) egy bátyám |
| Michael: Listen to the phrase again, this time with brother |
| Lena: Van egy bátyám. |
| Michael: It mostly stays the same. Simply replace “a younger sister”. Say “I have an older brother.” |
| {pause} |
| Lena: Van egy bátyám. |
| Michael: To use a different phrase, replace “an older brother” with “one younger brother and one older sister.” |
| Lena: egy öcsém és egy nővérem |
| Michael: one younger brother and one older sister |
| Lena: (slow) egy öcsém és egy nővérem (regular) egy öcsém és egy nővérem |
| Michael: Listen to the phrase again, this time with “one younger brother and one older sister” |
| Lena: Van egy öcsém és egy nővérem |
| Michael: It mostly stays the same. Simply replace the word for “an older brother.” Say I have “one younger brother and one older sister.” |
| {pause} |
| Lena: Van egy öcsém és egy nővérem. |
| Michael: To expand on the pattern, replace “one younger brother and one older sister” with “two older brothers.” |
| Lena: két bátyám |
| Michael: two older brothers |
| Lena: (slow) két bátyám (regular) két bátyám |
| Michael: Listen to the phrase again, this time with “two older brothers” |
| Lena: Van két bátyám. |
| Michael: It mostly stays the same. Simply replace the phrase for one younger brother and one older sister. Say I have two older brothers. |
| {pause} |
| Lena: Van két bátyám. |
