Watching this as a native Mongolian speaker, the Hungarian language seems really familiar and intuitively makes a lot of sense to me. A majority of the grammatical rules are essentially the same rules with just different sounds and even how the language sounds are familiar, too.
That's very intriguing.
Like your capital city/ Ulaanbaatar. The name Ulan is a man's name. Wulan would be Woman or Mulan. Baatar is from the word Bator and it means brave in the Hungarian language. So your capital city as it was more than 2000 years ago was the Ancient Hun dynasty. Due to the fact that half of my ancestors came from there. The Chinese great wall was built in the north in different sections due to the Hun people's constant harassment of war and occupation and systematic rubbery. Back then the Huns were against the Chinese Hans. But in one day they split into 2 half. 1 half went and blended into North-East China or today called Inner Mongolia and become farmers. The other half of the nomads' warriors and sheepherders and horse breeders went to Europe in the Carpathian basin Today's Hungary. You see today some Mongolians live like the ancient Nomadic Huns were. The tents were the same the small but hairy horses and also the recurve bow and arrow oh, and the wooden saddle on the horses cause if they needed to flee they turned around and could shoot while riding backwards. The Nomads were always on the move with family kids and all. Many Mongols live today like the Huns long before the Mongols. Some say the kids could ride a horse before he or they could walk. The horse was the most important to them. Also 2 types of dogs they breed 1 is the Komondor the other was the Puli. They were both herded dogs the bigger Komondor was also a protector due to its thick curly hair against wolves and the Puli which was pure black was even a babysitter in some cases. BTW the Komondor was pure white. They were dating back 2500-3000 years to the Huns. Back then Mongols weren't even a thought. But around 2000 years ago as they split the Mongol tribes moved into that land and live like the ancient Huns before them. Many Mongols are still nomadic and they have similar customs and some traditions to the Hungarians or the ancient Huns. So about 1200 years after the Huns left that empty bare useless land (even for grazing animals not so good) the Mongols came to power and with a powerful leader Ginghiskhan, they created a big empire. BTW way back the Huns were around 4 million people so 2 went to China and Inner Mongolia the other 2 million went to Europe. Today the Mongols have about 4 million people. Maybe a little less. It has bad weather no good for farming due to the high elevations. So in the winter is very cold and very mild in the summer. The place looks like Her in North America Northern Manitoba Saskatchewan and Alberta or the southern part of North-West Territory and Nunavut. It's an endless grassland and the grass is very poor in quality there. That is why China nor the Russians didn't need Mongolia. Very poor in minerals even in gold all they have is coal, but that is a big air polluter. For that reason, they had to be on the move all the time which made them nomadic cause it's just a very poor land. They have a lot of ponds very small lakes and tiny creeks and small rivers. If you like the cold and very crisp clean air and the endless grassland then Mongolia is for you to visit. lol.
PS: My great grandfather on my mother's side looks a little Mongoloid only with white skin like the Europeans do, but his eyes were a little slented like the Mongols. Ha was short but with very brode shoulders. Little bow-legged dark hair and dark brown eyes. A little like the Eskimos. lol. As for me I have not even a little resemblance in me nor as my 2 daughters. lol. Oh yeah the language : I don't understand Mongolian but some ancient words are kind of similar. I do love the throat singing though. So Ulaanbaatar = Bator Ulan = Brave Ulan or Ulan the Brave. lol.

This channel is simply amazing. As a language lover, and Hungarian I think this video is the best linguistic video regarding our language. These videos bring people closer to each other. To your Comment, Cristian: thank you for your approach :) For me, Romanian is one of the most exciting language, I do learn Italian, and this is why I've just started to read/learn more about Romanian. It is so cool, that your language is so close to Latin and Italian, so far in the mountains. Multumesc :)

Well, I have to say that my mother and my (late) grandmother were both Hungarian by origin, but I still think that Hungarian belongs (along with Chinese and Japanese) to the most difficult languages in the world:-)).In fact, Hungarian is surely the most difficult language which is written in Latin alphabet:-) I have to express my respect and admiration to anyone who can speak and read Hungarian fluently:-))

As an albanian. I give this language 11/10. Hungarian language is certainly the language to writte ancient texts
I think the same about your language :D cheers from Hungary
Albanian is still easier to me than Hungarian, Russian, and Greek and I Stand by that lol.
Don't you have like two very different variants?
As a Turkish speaker the similarities between Hungarian and Turkish was very suprising. First of all both have aglutination and vowel harmony. The possesive suffix in Turkish is basicly the same with Hungarian. And in the examples he gave varoş is a Hungarian loan word in Turkish and zseb is a Turkish loan word in Hungarian (it actually originates in Arabic).
So "varosom" in Hungarian would be "varoşum" in Turkish,
"varosomban" ="varoşumda"
"zsebem"="cebim" (c is pronounced the same way as zs)
"zsebemben" ="cebimde"
Hungarian should also be part of Turkic languages and also historical facts are there
You wrote "cseb" but this word does not exist in Hungarian. Correctly it is "zseb".
@@szp771 Fixed. Thanks for the correction.
I am not surprised. Turkish, Hungarian and FInnish and Estonian are all related. In fact the joke is that the Finns are the stupidest of the four because, when they entered Europe, they went too far north and live in the cold.

@@Alina-kj2zw Yes. It is not the language in itself which is beautiful but the talent of its user is what makes it beautiful. (Egy nyelv nem önmagában szép, hanem a használója tehetsége teszi azzá.) Anyway, it would be an interesting game to collect words and expressions in different topics (like that of rain, for example) to compare the possiblities of different languages. And not only of English and Hungarian - as there are several words which only exist in this or that language or ones that do not exist in some languages.

Hello from the USA! Watching this to learn more about Hungarian culture!
My great grandfather (my nanas father) was born in Hungary, and emigrated to the USA with his parents when he was a child.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!!
I went to Hungary in 1997 and became fascinated by the language. I still am.
"digging into Hungarian a little bit"
-> proceeds to explain like 90% of the grammar more in-depth than Hungarian schools do, leaving me feel uneducated about my own language
(respect though, great video)
Don't worry, most native speakers feel like that about their language!
I'm English, and I've learnt more about English grammar from conversations I've had with foreign friends than I ever did at school.

Well, he is a huge channel, so because of that, he needs to do a big research, in order to avoid hatred & gossip about making a mistake, I know it myself!
When someone does a terrific job, people barely say thank you, but when one mistake exists, most of the people are ready to write about it.
This has little to do with schooling but with that neurologically speaking as a kid or infant you don't have the same abstract thinking and mental-strategies / higher faculties like an adult has. And later on in life most adults don't care about learning the logic of their own language, just like most don't care about exploring the beauty and diversity of their own country and rather associate travel with going abroad.
Bruh I'm hungarian, currently in school and that isn't even 5%, it's the very basics, we have to learn so many rules! But it does look super complicaited, so I can't exactly blame you.
My parents were both true Hungarians immigrated in 1970 in Canada I want to learn the language to honor them and our heritage
that is really nice of you, sok sikert! (Sok sikert means good luck haha)

@@GholaTleilaxu To make his life easier. It is much easier to integrate into a society with a local name than with a stranger. That's why my Hungarian friends who have a child in the UK, giving them local British names. For example Takács Craig, or Kovács Brian. Later it is more accepted by society. With a foreign name, you are at a disadvantage in every aspect of life, even if you speak the language at your native language.

Thank you for this post (Magyar Nyelv) that is extremely well done ! I was born in Paris from Hungarian parents (political refugees ,1956) and my first language up until I was 7 years old, was Hungarian. Very early on, I became fascinated with different cultures and languages (Marco Polo's fault). So much so, that nowadays, I am a French, English, Latin teacher . When I hear Hungarian (Magyar) I have chills in my spine even though the journey of my life has brought me from France to the U.S and back to France. I can't help being proud of my origins , my culture, my language. Büske vagyok ara hogy magyar szàrmazas vagyok.

In the early 1900s, my Burgenland grandfather, attended school, where is his lessons were given in the morning in German, and the exact same lessons were given in Hungarian in the afternoon. Thus was bilingual education in the Austro- Hungarian Empire. He loved the Hungarian language, even though he was Austrian, because he found it more romantic, and saw that Hungarian men had an easier charm with the women, than the stiff Germanic people. He always attempted to emulate their charming ways with women. As children, we would try to get him to say something in Hungarian, even though we didn’t understand it, because it sounded so wonderful. My dad said, he realized later in life that my grandfather’s swear words were actual Hungarian and not German.
😂😂😂
This story is a beautiful one, it for sure warmed my heart. Best wishes to you from Hungary, osztrák barátom!
That's a very cool, heart-warming story. It could have happened to your grandfather that you watch a football match, your grandfather asks who plays, you say _Austria, Hungary,_ he asks _against whom?_
I have a similar story. My paternal grandfather was Serbian from Bacska, born during the Kingdom of SHS in the early 1920s. However, growing up in his ethnically mixed town (Србобран-Srbobran/Szenttamás), he spoke Hungarian as fluently as his native Serbian. Many years later he moved to Canada, and whenever he heard someone speaking Hungarian, he would approach them and start singing "elindultam szép hazámból,
híres kis Magyarországból....", which, after the initial surprise, unavoidably brings tears, making fiends that instant.
Kein Wunder, in der deutschen Sprache könnt ihr kaum fluchen. Arschloch.... Da lachen wir drüber :D

As a Pole, I’ve been attempting to start learning Hungarian. I’m already learning Korean, Japanese and Finnish and I’m doing pretty well and I love how unique Finnish is and how… expressive it is? I like learning languages with rich vocabulary because one of my main passions is songwriting so I appreciate languages that let you express your thoughts very precisely. Korean, Japanese and Finnish are wonderful when it comes to means of expressing yourself, you can even express very specific nuances in countless ways! I thought Hungarian would be good for that as well because supposedly Hungarian poetry is really interesting.
The pronunciation is a little hard though, like it’s confusing. 😅 For example, s is pronounced more like our Polish sz and sz is pronounced like our Polish s. So confusing lol

This is grammar.
But George Bernard Shaw said: “After studying the Hungarian language for years, I can confidently conclude that had Hungarian been my mother tongue, it would have been more precious. Simply because through this extraordinary, ancient and powerful language it is possible to precisely describe the tiniest differences and the most secretive tremors of emotions.”
I have traveled to Budapest a couple of times recently, fell in love (with it), and now I am trying to learn Hungarian. As a language teacher for decades already, I must admit that it is - by far - the most difficult language I have encountered. I am not giving up yet, though.
It would take a lifetime to learn it but you still wouldn't master it.
Try Japaneese it is much harder plus you have to learn the writing which is drawing like little houses etc. But so rich culture. Love it.

But the town of Tata is where I learned to love Hungarian. ❤️🤍💚 Much love from the US

It is shame to forget your mother’s language. I’m living in the U. S. 25 years,still speaking Hungarian,my daughter who born in the U.S. speaking fluently,very proud of her.She can read,but cannot write Hungarian.
@@edinacamden4346 I should clarify that I’m American. 🙂 My parents moved to Hungary as missionaries when I was six. I left permanently when I was 18 to attend college in the States. I hope to take my husband there one day, and I wish my daughters could experience it also!
Oh sorry ,that is totally different. I thought you are Hungarian.@@candicehuggins
@@edinacamden4346 That’s ok! My mother, sister, and I still have conversations in Hungarian, especially when we don’t want the other to know what we are talking about. 🤣 My sister is the most fluent and keeps it fresh for us. She has two grown daughters who are half Hungarian and live there, and she did not move back to America until about two years ago.
My introduction to Hungarian was funny. A girl from Hungary went back to her homeland and has left some instant food for us. Everything (the name of the product, the recipe...) was in Hungarian. We couldn't figure out whether it's pudding or may be instant potato puree. We were ready to experiment, though. We started to decode the recipe. Mind you that it was back in time when google translator wasn't yet available. I was quite confident that I would grasp at least some words as I'm familiar with various European languages. Besides that, simple recipe for instant dish can't be hard, right? 😂😂😂 I understood only the digits, literally. Afbafh 3 vsgnfjj 8 htbsf 10 - something like this ❤❤❤. 3 spoons? 3 minutes? 😂😂😂 We gave up finally as we didn't want to waste the food. We assumed that eventually another Hungarian might come and use it.
We, Polish people love Hungary and Hungarian language. It is like your secret code.
You made my day!
Hey guys!
I'm twelve years old and I'm live in Hungary, I learning English since I was six years old and now I can speak English very well. I hope you all want to learn Hungarian because It's a complex and pretty language, but a little bit hard to learn it. I really love every language because each has its own specialty, and when I was a child I always dreamed of traveling around the world once I hope that my and everyone else's dreams will come true.
Love you guys❤️

As a Finn it's funny to listen to Hungarian as it sounds like Finnish with it's intonation, pacing etc. only you can't understand anything.
same experience. Finnish sounds me like a melodic "lorem ipsum" for me with trtrt. :)
Agreed! I learned finnish for 2 semesters at university, and these things are really similar. If i didn't pay attention to the teacher (happened dometimes :) ), i totally thought, she is speaking hungarian.
Yeah I'm a Hungarian and we are conflicted because there's a theory that we might be in relation with the turk nations rather then the finns... But our teacher sad that she learnt that on the university... You know the similarities between the two languages and it's just the grammar but if I would hear you speak I wouldn't understand a word... I speak Slovak too but with that I understand quite a lot in other Slavic languages too... But with Hungarian it's not nearly the same

As a Hungarian who has travelled to Nordic countries, the most surreal moment for me was coming across a Sami poem in North Norway and understanding a couple of words after re-translating it from the English translation to Hungarian in my head. It was like walking on the street and seeing someone who looks exactly like an old friend, just for a moment before you never see each other again. And of course, as other people have pointed out, Finnish and Estonian have a similar feel but are still almost completely different.
Amazingly enough the word for pocket : zseb is the exact same word as in arabic ....but it could have come from turkish , as turkish itself took a lot of arabic words
Yes, I believe it came from Turkish. 👍🏻
Yes in Azerbaijan also say "ceb"/zseb/,
Ceb -pocket
Cebim -my pocket
Cebimde -in my pocket
Cebimden -from my pocket
Cebin -you pocket
Cebinde -in you pocket
Cebinden -from you pocket
the Turkish word is from Arabic
It comes from arabic. In Persian we also say Jeeb جیب for pocket.
The official answer is that we borrowed it from Turkish in about the 16th century, who borrowed it from Persian, who borrowed it from Arabic :)
However do not forget that 9th century Byzantine sources call us Turk, and half of the world calls us onogur, which is Turk as well 😃

And my students here in Spain keep complaining about how "difficult" English is...
I'm hungarian, and English is difficult for me. Because there aren't any similarity(vocabulary similarity is very minimal, and all of them are modern english loanwords, like 'telefon' or 'rádió', grammar is very different) with Hungarian. Though I can understand some elements of the English logic, but it is very different, example the word order. English has a strict word order, while Hungarian can have various word orders. Sometimes I feel I use wrong word order :D
As Czech, I would say that English is quite easy. Definitely easier than German. English grammar is quite straightforward and simple, words rarely change suffixes and if so, it's just adding -s to nouns or -ing to verbs. When to use he/she/it is pretty obvious, unlike der/die/das in German.
I would say that Hungarian might be easier than Slavic languages. It seems that it adds suffixes to word root for noun cases, while Czech changes last letter or two. Also we have 4 "patterns" of suffixes for neutral nouns, 4 for feminine and 6 for masculine and with noun. We change suffix of every word that is related to noun (number, adjective, pronoun) to match case. I can't imagine it's possible to learn in other way than being exposed to the language. On the other hand, word order is not strict, and changing it may slightly change the importance of different words and this nuances can't be expressed in English.
Difficult parts of English: written&spoken form is different (guessing pronounciation is impossible) , conditionals (they have different logic), present/past/future perfect (disappeared from Czech roughly 150 years ago), (in)definite articles (non-existent in Czech) and prepositions. I agree with Renáta, that sometimes it's problematic to translate something in the way which is perfectly natural in English and even vice versa.
Actually I would say that Hungarian language does not seem that hard, just using postfixes instead of prefixes and prepositions is pretty weird and words are completely different. Maybe there are small evil things (irregularities) in the language that are not mentioned in the video.
@@pavelperina7629 Yeah, I see what you mean. Me, my native language is German. I learned English as a foreign language and, upon migrating to Spain at 22, added Spanish to my languages. I've taught both English (I'm an English teacher) and German, and the difference in ease of access is huge.
@@sectorgovernor English is very easy for me, I'm hungarian too. I think it probably depends on what you're into. When I was a kid I had to learn German, it wasn't as easy for me as English was.
@@auroraborealis4650 Because you already were introduced to German when you were a child....
I'm currently learning Hungarian as an American, I find the lack of word order absolutely fascinating.
Now that I’ve been learning Turkish for a few weeks, Hungarian doesn’t actually seem that complicated. I was quite surprised to see how similar they are in some aspects, such as the way that words are made possessive. But maybe that’s because these are the only 2 agglutinative languages I really know anything about

I am Turkish from Iran and we speak Turkish at home and everywhere expect the school where Persian is used only, we almost do not study Turkish, I remember I started to study Turkish at the age of 16 and I was shocked to see the strange grammar it has, vowel harmony for example and I was thinking how I spoke this language for one and half decades without thinking of its grammar! Also it was funny and not easy for me to pronounce "ü" and "ö" separately and not in a word even though I was speaking this language for 15 years almost :))) Now I can see there are similarities between Turkish and Hungarian, to me Hungarian sounds like a Siberian Turkic language which has been heavily Europeanized.

I learned hungarian for years, as I was married to a hungarian. It was frustrating, because, even as my vocabulary and grammar imrpoved in class, the hungarian habit of speaking in idioms and of making word games in the idioms makes it much harder.
Apart from that, I find hungarian a beautifully colorful and immaginative language.
It's a convenient secret language to use when abroad with hungarians

I am Hungarian and seeing all these rules makes my language seem so convoluted. I guess you don't feel how complicated your language is until you try to explain it to someone.
You are right. You say something in hungarian, and someone asks why did you say it in that way? now that is challenging part of it!
True that haver :D
The only Hungarian I need to know: Szeretnék egy sört. I took a Hungarian class when I was as Taszar Air Base in 1999-2000 with the US Army. The people are awesome. My favorite food was Gulyas and deep fried cheese triangles, not sure what they were called.

Few things make me as happy as seeing a new LangFocus video uploaded.

I’m learning hungarian for the second year now (being an Estonian) and I was literally squealing with happiness while watching this video because I understood everything grammar-wise and it’s such an amazing feeling! Aaaaaaahhh.
The most difficult thing has been the rections as they differ a lot from Estonian.
Got ya'! :D

Ma alles alustasin õppimist ja hetkel on ikka üsna keeruline :D
i am a hunagrians and was watching an estonian youtuber arthur rehi. And in one of his videos he said pizike i was so shocked like wtf i understand this. Is this what i am thinking about ? And he said pizike means small or tiny i was like wtf we hungarians say picike and its mean tiny or small also :D. I am currently learning finnish and funny to see the similarities with estonian. But nothing with us so far except the grammar and some words. Lke torony-torn.
just some1 Pisike, is the word, yea. So cool! I mean the cases kinda work the same way, the logic behind them. Some words are similar: szem-silm, száj-suu, víz-vesi, vér-veri, könyök-küünarnukk etc. :D
But it’s also funny how Estonian and Finnish sound really similar, but I don’t really understand Finnish when I’m listenig to it. :)
I'm Polish and I know only polish and english. I visited Hungary once and it was my best travel ever. I find hungarian language so strange, so different, so fascinating because of totally different language logic. English is quite similar to Polish when comes to grammar logic so I never wondered how different other languages can be. I know it is stupid but I wonder how is to learn English in school as a kind when your native language is Hungarian (or in general its language family). Even asian languages like Chinese, Japanese or Korean are not that strange for me like Hungarian is. As a person who speaks an indo-european language and live in central Europe where that huge language group dominates, it's obvious for me that they are somewhat similar (not even mentioning group of slavic languages) so I never really had to think that there are more ways to build language than this one known from indo-european ones. Idk.
I don't know, I feel that I write stupid things now because it should be more obvious. Anyway, Hungary
Heya! To answer your question about learning languages as a hungarian: I personally live in slovakia but I am a hungarian, and in school we had to learn Slovak, Hungarian, English, German. For me it was always really weird to learn otther languages, like slovak and german having genders in them, and english with all the exceptions. I didnt learn basically any language from school cuz of this, only by myself. English I learned from games and YT while growing up, I always tought its really easy to speak it, but in grammar i was always bad (in school with grades basically) xd Slovak I never liked, for me the otther slavic languages always sounded better, but ofc I had to learn it since they force you to use it in official situations here. German I absolutelly hated, made no sense for me, hard to pronounce words etc. I dunno..me as a hungarian native speaker, I cant seem to grasp the genders in language gramatics (since hun doesnt use it). Anyways, I always tought that hungarian is a language wich makes so much sence, and as in the video was said: its not that hard if you start to learn it. I wholehearthedly recommend learning it, once you understand it its sooo nice to just talk :D (except when you are under the influance of some kind of substance, than you ll just rather speak english xD) its really nice for writing novels or poems, rap etc ,also you can really spot the differance in people who speak hungarian, for example you know if someone young/elderly is talking/writing or that person is a non native speaker, if that person is really smart/dumb, in general you can just recognise the person from the way he/she talks. Btw if someone would like to I can try to help anyone learn hungarian. Right now I can speak in 3 languages(speak and not write :D so ofc i make mistakes) but im going to learn more. My first goal is japanese since I think it has lot of similarities to hungarian, and after that mandarin and latin myb. Sorry for making this so long, have a nice day!^^
@Fascist Femboy uwu thats amazing! What are those 5?
To also answer the question as a Hungarian, as a kid, its absolute chaos XD In many respects German is easier for a Hungarian, the creation of words and sentences is like a cleaner Hungarian so it's kind of just the matter of knowing the German equivalent of a word and some basic grammar. I did not go down that path though :D English is my first foreign language and it is somehow more difficult to wrap a kid's head around it.
No, I had exactly the same experience. I am from Austria, but live in Transylvania so I very often have to travel through Hungary and also here in Transylvania it is useful to know the language, so I started to learn it a bit. But you really have to completely change your way of thinking, because Hungarian uses such a different logic than the one we are used to - us indo-european speakers. I also noticed that they very often build sentences without a verb, which is totally strange. They understand me, when I speak my broken Pidgin-Hungarian with our grammar logic, but they say the same things completely different.
@@ekesandras1481 I'm Hungarian and I find it intriguing how you described the Hungarian logic. We certainly have a very different mindset and logic; I only understood this when I reached advanced level in English. Although I don't know what you meant by "they often build sentences without a verb"... I don't think it's true. Sometimes there are lots of words at the beginning of the sentence to specify the topic, but eventually there's always a verb in the end. E.g.: Megannyi értelmes, okos és művelt emberrel találkoztam. It means that I've met so many different smart, intelligent and educated people... in which "találkoztam" is the verb I met, "ember" is people and the rest is just a quantifier and adjectives. Or the other thing you might have thought of was our 1-word sentences, which could be confusing for non-Hungarian speakers. Such as "Megvehetitek", meaning You can buy it.; or "Megjavíttatják" meaning They will get it fixed. But these are not sentences without a verb, these are actually conjugated verbs that carry so much meaning that make them valid sentences by themselves. Although I'm just guessing since I'm not sure what you meant by that. It was interesting to read about it, though.
I was raised by my grandparents who only spoke Hungarian to me as a child. Later I moved away with my parents, I may have been three years old, and since my mother couldn’t understand Hungarian, we didn’t speak it and I would slowly forget. To this day, I am in my 50s, it has a special sound to me. Sometimes when I’m riding a train and I overhear a Hungarian conversation (it maybe happens once a year) I stay seated and listen. Although I don’t understand anything, listening to the speech melody is very soothing… like watching a campfire. It’s literally music to my ears and I find it to be the most beautiful language by far.
I have tried visiting Hungarian learning courses, but most students give up after the first year and the classes cease to exist.
Thanks. I wonder how it sounds? Many people say it sounds very strange, like a UFO language. I think because of the variety, the superior grammar, and some good sounds (like ny, gy, ty) it sounds well. For me English is by far the best, almost all the other languages sound a little bit ugly. Maybe Italian, Japanese, German, and some other Asian languages sound well.

@Charlie K Although Hungarian is considered to be part of the same linguistic family with Finnish, there is nothing to approach them, so it has nothing to do with Finnish language. We do not understand each other, nothing is in common. Complicated in Hungarian is primarily pronunciation, some vowels have no equivalent in Germanic or Latin languages. I'm thinking that here is the biggest difficulty. Anyway, specific to this language is the phonetics and vowels harmony,
:D
Although Paul said Hungarian is not that hard as other thinks, me as a Taiwanese(from eastern Asian) cannot get almost anything from what Paul talked about in this video. Actually I was thinking that I might be familiar to this language due to the same continent( I mean Asian root), however I totally forgot that the Ural language might be influenced by ancient tribes, especially the turks ranging from Siberia to the Black Sea. In this case, I can understand we were totally different from each other. Nevertheless, Hungarian still seems charming, just because it’s sooooo unique and different from nearby countries’ languages(and also their roots), their culture and history also contain huge and interesting stories. Hope one day there’ll be an opportunity for me to step on their land and explore its beauty❤🤍💚🇭🇺🇹🇼

Zsombor Sütő how do you use and extinguish the 18 cases? Too difficult for me! Even Slavic languages have 5 or 6 cases.
Well just like Paul said, it is almost like the prepositions in English. While English speakers would say " with the car" , Hungarian speakers would say "autóval" where "val" means "with". It's quite strange but it is not that difficult ;)
@@zsomborsuto5574 I think your cases work a bit differently. You just use a postposition to indicate the function of the noun and its relation to other parts of the sentence, right? Because in the video it is mentioned that the adjectives aren't declined, only the nouns. But in Slavic languages, you have to decline both the adjective and the noun, often preceded by a preposition so you have to know which case you should use. It's quite hard because there are some prepositions that can be used with multiple cases. :)
Oh my God I didn't know that! Yes in Hungarian the adjective is only conjugated for number so they have a singular and a plural form. But I also think that the suffixes can be difficult to learn, because you can create basically any word. Beautiful-Beauty = szép-szépség
"to become beautiful" = szépül
and you can make this "game" with any word you want. So I think it can be difficult to learn all these different suffixes, know their place in the word and know how to create new ones.
@@TommyJapanBrony Recently I started to learn Turkish. There are about 6 cases I think, but even as a Hungarian I found the cases difficult to learn compared to prepositions.

@@PimsleurTurkishLessons really? I thought Sanskrit is the hardest among languages worldwide
@@NiceBoaT_98 in grammar?,different languages can be hard in different ways. for example chinese has (maybe the easiest grammar) but chinese is the hardest language because it has tones (there are other languges that have tones too). if you pronounce same word with different tone, it may have different meaning.tones are such as "goes up" "goes down" "straight" etc. Even if Turkish is agglutinative as Finnish,Hungarian,Korean, Japanese, which are considered to be hard, Turkish is very easy language maybe Turkish is easier than English. (or as easy as English).Some worldwide linguists that learned lots of languages, say Turkish is very easy to learn because it has few rules and rules are exact so there is not exceptions no need to memorize exceptions etc.

what makes Turkish easy to learn
1-Alhapbet ; Each Turkish letter has one exact sound and it does not change word to word. so once one learns alphabet, s/he can pronounce any Turkish text even if s/he does not know the meaning. and even s/he can write any Turkish word that s/he hears even if s/he does not know the meaning.
2- There is no gender in Turkish grammar and objects/jobs etc. English is nearly genderless language %90 , English has she/he,waiter, waitress, blond, blonde etc. But Turkish is %100 genderless language.
3-memorizing new words; once you know root word's meaning and suffixes meanings you can guess new word's meaning. to make a new word suffixes are used (not prefixes). for example
bil=know
bilgi=knowledge
bilgili=informed
bilgisiz=ignorant
bilgisizce=ignorantly
bilgisizlik=ignorance
bilim=science
bilge=wise
bilgelik=wisdom
bilgece=wisely

Turkish numbers are easy as English numbers
numbers 1-9 each has one word
example= bir=1 iki=2 üç=3
then 10-90 each has one word
example= on=10 yirmi=20 otuz=30
yüz=100
bin=1000
üç yüz yirmi bir bin iki yüz otuz iki=321232
three hundred twenty one thousand two hundred and thirty two.
to make order number we add only ıncı suffix acording to vowel harmony.
birinci=first
ikinci=second
üçüncü=third
to ask the nominal number we add ıncı suffix to Kaç (how many), so
Kaçıncı=how manyth (this is fake English because English asks nominal number with Which word.)
I don't understand almost anything about Hungarian vocabulary. It has changed so much but that grammar part doesn't confuse me at all. It's nearly 95% the same in Finnish
Actually Hungarian grammar is notably different from Finnish. Nouns cases function differently on top of looking different, and Hungarian verbs are just something else.
@@user-pk9qo1gd6rthose verbs are indeed unique and very evolved but not something I could never figure out. Finnish used to have a very rich conjugation like that too but it just disappeared from the language. After all it's all about suffixes
@@Lunaholic94 It's interesting that Hungarian is said to be more difficult than Estonian and Finnish although they are relatives. But Finnish is also often in the top 10 most difficult languages. Maybe the Hungarian grammar is a little bit more difficult.
Sorry, for not many Polish comments, but we are studying closely this video. Of course we all know one, but the very important sentence in Hungarian already:
"Lengyel, magyar - két jó barát, együtt harcol, s issza borát" - "Pole, Hungarian - two good friends, together they battle and drink their wine" and now the Polish version: "Polak, Węgier - dwa bratanki, i do szabli, i do szklanki" - "Pole and Hungarian - two brothers, good for saber and for glass".
Polish footbal fans also know "Ria! Ria! Hungaria!" and don't hasitate to scand it.
Yesterday was a big day in Budapest too! :) Happy 100th!
Even at hungarian-romanian football matches I hope.
@@theblancmange1265 On Polish-Romanian maches this behavour was mainly recorded, but I think that many Poles came also when Hungary plays, supporting our "bratanki" - brothers.
The version I know: Lengyel, Magyar, két jó barát, együtt issza egymás borát - meaning: Polish, Hungarians, two good friends, drinking together each other's wine XD

Dear Paul, thanks a lot for this video, very well prepared and presented! I feel honoured that you made a video of my native language and that a lot of people liked it. Now that you explained some grammar, I realised how complicated my language is. 😂 No wonder we learn grammar for years in school, still many Hungarians' spelling is dreadful. Thanks again and take care! Xx
The only non-Turkic language that "makes sense" to me grammar-wise as a Turkish person! Hungarian is a beautiful language
Orbán would argue otherwise
he says we are turks for some reason
You guys are Huns, brothers to turkic people @@spuditgang
@@sluchy7962 our language sounds more uralic than turkic. Just by hearing alone, Finnish sounds more like Hungarian than Turkic. also our vocabulary is more uralic and we originate in ural mountains. This is subjective also but Hungarian sounds more beautiful than Turkic
@@spuditgangI would not agree with your claim that Hungarian sounds nicer than Turkish. Hungarian is sort of harsh phonetically in comparison to Turkish which is way softer in its sounds and sounds nicer indeed.
This language is so different in Europe and foreigners rarely learn it that when I went to Budapest and said "koszonom" (thank you) everyone was blown away. I mean in other European countries locals will be pleased if you can say "thank you" but in Hungary it's another level
It's true, because the rarity of hearing a foreigner speaking a single word in hungarian.
next level is egészségedre
Seguindo o seu raciocínio, como não tem muitas pessoas que falam a língua fora do país, é pela mesma razão que a gente da Inglaterra e dos Estados Unidos não sabem falar nenhuma outra língua, pois pela falta de utilidade. Não dá para formar preconceitos irrazoáveis.
Now I'll be sure to learn a bit of Hungarian if i ever visit :)

As a Hungarian it is good to see that others are learning our language :))
I took a course on CD for basic Hungarian before I led a student trip to Budapest a few years ago. While the program certainly did not make me fluent, it did give me enough to be able to get around Budapest and chat with local people without feeling like a total outsider. I felt that people appreciated my efforts to learn even the basics of their language.
As someone who has studied several Slavic languages it was fun to did into something so different.
Your opinion is very unique. Most people try their english, and probably they get what they want. I appreciate your great effort, you are so cool. Thank you.😀
It's said that J.R.R. Tolkien modeled his "Black Speech" (language of the Nazgul and other evil characters) after Hungarian. Which is a problem for those who translate _The Lord of The Rings_ into Hungarian, because he intended the Black Speech to sound menacing, but to Hungarians it sounds perfectly normal.
It's mainly due to the vowels imo. In Hungarian phonology, vowels are almost exclusively monophthongs, while English is littered with diphthong or even triphthong vowels.
This makes English sound floaty and fluid, whereas Hungarian and the Black Speech sound sharp and segmented.
@@UnstopablePatrik Some consonants also, correct? For example, 'zg' in your name is also present in "Nazgul". But I'm sure it's only sounds, as you point out. Tolkien was into the Old Germanic languages, he probably knew little of real Hungarian.
Well, that's interesting because it's also written in a similar script to the Orkhon, right? And Orkhon has the the word "orc" in it. o_o ILLUMINATI CONFIRMED!
Jokes aside, this might be true. I also heard that the directions on the map of Middle Earth kinda align with Europe's, so orcs coming from the East matches up with Hungary being in Eastern Europe and nomad Hungarians coming from the Middle-East. Also, the word "orc" may come from "ogre" which is said to have originated from the French word "hongrie" for nomad Hungarians who would go killing and looting all over the place back in the day.
On the other hand, when I listen to LoTR in English, black speech sounds like Turkish to me. If someone tried to say all the phrases in a totally everyday voice without evil background music it would legit 10/10 perfectly sound Turkish, it even looks a little like written Turkish to me. I have to admit though that there is a little bit of Old Hungarian in there, stuff from the 12-14. century which is almost unrecognazible for a modern Hungarian.
ash-nazg durbatuluk :D és a többi
@@jcarty123 Lol, Mozgus is just a fantasy name, it has nothing to do with Hungarian :D
'zg' is not that common a combination.

Ayyy we may not be related in language but Hungary and Poland are the real brothers.
Thank you for this video! Awesome content!
As native Hungarian didn't felt that I would speak a very difficult of special language, until I started learning other languages and I realized that Im speaking one of the most complex and colorful language of Eu.

As someone who lives in Turkey, the similarities are pretty awesome. For example in 02:50, on means 10 in Turkish, and oğur(ogur) means people who live close to each other.
Yes. We Hungarians (although we all reincarnate into different ethnicities all the time meaning you've been Hungarian before too very probably . SERIOUSLY) were called the 10 tents tribe. Indicating 10 different tribes composition.
Nagyon jó.
Izgalmas volt , később újra megnézem.

As a Hungarian i am convinced, that we have the nicest sounding poetry in the world. Too bad only we can understand it.
I feel the exact opposite way. I think Hungarian poetry is major cringe. I just do not like to read those syrupy, pretentious poems.
Try Farsi (aka Persian) poetry too it's nice. There are rules there to make the poem sound musical.

As a kid, Hungarian grammar classes were an absolute nightmare for me. As a native speaker all these intricate rules are quite obvious and ingrained, but damn, my hat’s off to anyone who succeeds in making sense of Hungarian as a second language.
I've been learning Hungarian for 2 months now...it's hard as hell, but incredibly satisfying when you finally can make a sentence!
Tamas Kovacs: Well Hungarian is the richest language in the planet. The most expressive one. As it was the first. Proto Hungarian / Ancient Hungarian is 68% same as Old Persian But more delicate. One day, all the origin and purpose of the Hungarians ( Huns) will be exposed so will be the Evil Judeo-Christianity, that was created by a Talmudist Rabbi. ( Rabbbi Saul) approx. 60 AD. The world will change once Hungary and their heritage will be exposed.
