Preface
Magyar - Magyarok Hungarian - Hungarians
Hungarian is a fascinating language quite different from most other European languages. It is the westemost member of the Finno-Ugric language family, having Finnish, Estonian and several less well-known languages as its distant cousins. In addition to the approximately 10 million speakers in Hungary proper, several million native Hungarian speakers dwell in the neighbouring countries of Romania, Slovakia, Serbia, Croatia and Austria.
Hungarian is challenging for the adult language leaer for two main reasons: English and Hungarian share very little common vocabulary, so each new word you lea will look very different from its English counterpart. Some loan words from English and other languages are easier to recognize than others: bank, telefon, posta are some obvious ones, but until you get the knack of Hungarian spelling, words like szendvics 'sandwich', and menedzser 'manager* may make you pause though their origins are clear. English has even borrowed a word from Hungarian: our 'coach' comes from kocsi (a word used nowadays in Hungarian to mean anything from coach to personal cars or wagons on a train). Although more words from other European languages are being adopted by the Hungarian language all the time, the bulk of the vocabulary is as rich, varied and home-made as Hungary's folk traditions.
With few exceptions, the written language mostly reflects the pronunciation of words, thus, from a phonetic point of view, Hungarian is quite easy to master. It is the structure of Hungarian that is the big surprise, sharing few common elements with the Germanic, Romance and Slavic languages of its neighbours. Hungarian is a so-called 'agglutinative' language - meaning that several endings can be attached ('glued') to a root word to change not only its meaning, but its role in a sentence as well. Instead of using prepositions, Hungarian adds a case ending; and instead of expressing possession with a word like 'my', 'your', Hungarian.adds an ending. You will see that your fluency in the language takes shape not only with the number of words you lea, but how long you can make them!
After several millennia travelling across the steppes and central Eurasia the Magyars settled in their current homeland in the centre of Europe in
896. From their earliest times and throughout known history they have always been in close contact (for better or worse) with a large variety of peoples and languages. In mode times — perhaps especially since the change of govement in 1989 — Hungary can be considered the bridge between East and West from a political, economic, cultural and religious point of view. Linguistically, however, it stands quite alone in Central Europe.

Colloquial Hungarian
Every step of the way, we have endeavoured to make this book lively, contemporary, and relevant to the daily encounters of the language leaer. Whether you have business or relatives in Hungary, or are enticed to study its exquisite language and culture for other reasons, this book is meant to equip you with situational savvy, up-to-date vocabulary and expressions, and a clear outline of the rules of the language and its structure.
We have included a variety of settings (in restaurants, hotels, family homes, shops, etc. ) in order to introduce not just vocabulary, but other communicative strategies to use in any potential interaction. We consider several levels of politeness combined with formality and informality. Whether engrossed in conversation with an anonymous taxi driver or the man/woman of your dreams, it is important from a communicative standpoint to set the correct tone by using the appropriate level of address. Thus you will be sure to engage your partners in dialogue and not embarrass them or yourself. You can rely on the family of characters in this book to lead you through both ordinary and extraordinary days and nights -just follow their lead, and follow their story through to the end.
Each chapter includes a setting with dialogues approached from different age and formality levels. The exchanges are taken from conversations you will expect to hear or have on any typical day in Hungary. The grammar and vocabulary explanations that follow are meant to give you a broad and simultaneously exact understanding of the grammatical material presented in the dialogue. A good approach to using this book to your best advantage is to go back over each chapter; re-read the dialogues and re-assess their
use of the grammar points presented. No doubt each reading will reveal another layer of clarity; actively observe case endings, verb conjugations, word order. Follow the tapes and CDs closely; although to be understood you need not have a native accent or perfect grammar the closer you are to attaining these, the more engaging your dialogue will be. Remember that language leaing is a combination of patience, repetition, desire, repetition, time and repetition.
And then go out and practise it - if you don't know any Hungarians today it is easy to meet one tomorrow. Best of all, spend some time interacting with the wit, charm, warmth, depth, sophistication and earthiness of Hungarians at home in Hungary. J? utat!
(None of the characters in this book are based on real life characters - any resemblance is pure coincidence. )
