the Hungarian language is a descendant of the Sumerian language. It's fact....look after if you don't believe me. Anyway, which is most exited information is, only the Hungarian language and not any other which is a descendant of the Sumerian language, which was the first language ever in this planet.
If it's your first language and have lived for years there (like me) it's easy to learn to speak, read and write, and for the rest of you maby the language is not useful but i'm still happy that I've learnt it :)
On the topic of Hungarian being related to Finnish I'd like to say that: I think it is. I'm a Hungarian living in England. About 7 years ago a Hungarian friend of mine met a Finnish woman here in England. They got married after about a year then moved to Hungary. After 2 years of marriage and living in Hungary, they came to visit England. This time the Finnish woman whom I've only spoken in English with, had learnt Hungarian with only a small accent in the space if 2 years.
Sok sikert mindenkinek a magyar tanulásához. Én magam magyar vagyok, de a helyesírással nekem is gondjaim vannak. Sőt az emberek 70%-ának Magyarországon helyesírási nehézségei vannak. Így nem kell megijedni ha neked is azok vannak :)
one of the easiest language to learn for the turkish people. i've been learning hungarian for a year and the grammatical structure is same with the turkish. i don't even mention the common words :)
Hungarian is not related to finnish..not even distantly..many people think that they are related beacuse they sound a little the same...the pronunctiation....but they are not related.......Csak ismerem a saját anyanyelvem..és szerintem meg engedem magamnak hogy ki javitsam azt aki rosszul tudja a dolgokat....nha peace
@TheAron961 Sorry but while learning hungarian I had lot of use of my mother language finnish. True is that there remain only few words that are in common but there is an inner logic in grammar that makes it easier to study for us finns (Hungarian is 6th laguage I speak).
And why dont some people want to deny the connection with finnish and hungarian. The similarities are strong and shown in wide scientific studies. Deny those studies with science not by shouting!
YouTube is like the open university in England. No tuition, no books, no fees. I plan on using this incredible place to learn how to do the things I've always wanted to do...like learning foreign languages the smart way, with audio/video/feedback repetition. Books are only one way and not such a good way for visual/movement oriented people. This is another world altogether...a free education in less than four years. Not too shabby!
I just married a beautiful Hungarian women from Budapest. As I fell in love with my wife, I fell in love with Hungary. I'm trying to speak the Hungarian language. I can understand it, but it is hard for me to speak it. Any recommendations on a good Hungarian language program? I want to raise our children with the Hungarian language. The language is like peotry to my ears.
@samsamsam1369 I'm hungarian and i'm very happy to see that english people talk and learn about my beautiful language :) But there is some big mistakes in your comment: "Our hat" is not "mink sapaka" !!!! It is: "sapkánk". "Their hat" is not "u sapkak" it is: "sapkáik". But... it doesn't matter, because I think it's very hard to learn my language, because the hungarian people make mistakes, too in writing :) And sometimes it's a little completace to talk to me, too, and it's so funny XD
@samsamsam1369 Good!No perfect,but very good.In the language Don't must to use the person name (like me,you).The end of the world is the keypoint. Our hat is can be "mi sapkánk" or "sapkánk", their hats can be "ti sapkátok" or just "sapkátok".
@samsamsam1369 you're not hungarian are you?:D i though you are at the first sentence but then i realized. hats are "sapkák" not saptak.
our hat is "sapkánk" not mink sapaka. :D anyway we dont use "mink" we use "milyenk" instead of it.
their hat is "sapkájuk"
anyway u r doing it good. but i dont get that last sentence. " is jol raitad ha tanus magyarol?" i know tha last words, ha tanulsz magyarul (if u learn hungarian) but i dont get that "is jol raitad" part.
Hungarian is like a 2-handed sword. It's a tough one, but when used properly it can do miracle! What I mean is poetry and folk songs. They are so lovely and they are amazing even for us (hungarians), but unfortunately in the everyday use we don't use it's full potential and conversations can get really gray. There are some older hungarians who speak so beautifully that it's a really pleasurable to chat with 'em. By the way, I really hate these youtube judges. Who are you to tell me what's good?!
Not to be mean or anything, but I saw a few commercials on tv, which were in magyar and it sounds really weird. The accent is .. really dunno how to say it.. but annoying. Just my opinion :)
PS: if you can't take someone else's point of view .. go fck yourself!
PS2: Love the insults ! :D It's really fun using them. Nobody can figure out you're actually saying something bad :P
I liked Budapest(architecture,museums),but no one spoke a foreign language. Hungarians,good that you keep your language,but Budapest is an international tourist center,to do business right, you must learn some english.We were frustrated, we couldnt get help from the locals we'd ask, we had problem in shops etc.It's important for everyone's cultural improvement to learn at least 1 foreign language!Hungarians, you are a European nation with high culture,but your indifference to LEARN disapoints me
Of course, so that is one of the reasons because Hungary has many Nobel prized. But hungarian language has nothing to do with finnish. From where is coming, in our days remaind a mistery.

@littleone095 Keep it up my friend! :)))) I would take like 2 minutes to find someone on internet (even here on YT) to help you with the language if you need it. We love people who love our special language <3
The Hungarian language is unique.Not stolen like the Romanian.
The Romanian language consist of Hungarian,Turkish,French,Italian,Greek and Slavic languages. (I read about your language.Romania has no own language and no own history.This is the whole truth.) So shut up you inferior shit!
@Krafter10 Hungarian is greatly influenced by Turkish, Russian, German and some Ugric languages (making it very close to Finnish or Estonian). So don't be rude and try to use Google more often.
@Krafter10 OMG read your shit before you post something Romanian is 1 of the 5 Latin languages. Hungarian is a beautiful but it has absolutely nothing in common with Romanian language. I don't care if you'r stupid just don't spread it!
@Krafter10 An ignorant statement from an ignorant frustrated person, unable to learn another language but his own mother tongue, typical! Also, quite funny... that is in the sense of ridiculous.
@vigo99 The one who should learn history is YOU, Hungarians and Mongolians have a common ancestor, the Huns,a nomadic tribe in Asia. Thats why Hungarian sounds weird.
Well this is a clear statement, with right spelling. Thank you, for your opinion with a constructive character.
By the way the hungarian language has the most words on earth (2000000, yes you read it right, two million words) so it's the best way to express yourself perfectly. And for one word, in hungarian there could be even 75 synonims. Just like "to move" (haladni): menni, futni, járni, kelni, rohanni, loholni, baktatni, bandukolni, etc.
anyway guys, who judges this guy.. wait a minute. im totally the same at other languages..:D im learning german now and when i started it. i was this angry and hated but when i learnt more and more. it became better. and when i look at finnish, or spanish, or french, or anything except my native language, hungarian, my 2nd language english, and my 3rd, german.
You wouldn't think of it by looking at the spelling in Hungarian (lots of heavy-looking consonant combinations and many more vowels), but the sound of it is amazingly fluid and expressive.
@Compantino Like I said, the difficulty of a language depends on who's learning it. Hungarian may be difficult for an English speaker to learn, probably not as much for an Estonian or Finn. I would imagine Chinese is a harder language for most people in general because of its written form, which makes it like learning two languages at once. And please don't resort to name-calling, it doesn't help your argument at all.
@journeymanjim Don't give a rat's ass about him. I agree with you, basically it depends on the person. In fact Hungarian is one of the 3 hardest languages, but it doesn't mean that it can't be learnt. I'm Hungarian, but my father's Algerian (he's been living here for 17 years already), and he speaks Hungarian like a native speaker.
@journeymanjim Yeah you are absolutely right. First of all it is impossible to say which language is the most difficult, even just to say which is the 10 most difficult without ranking....because it depends on from which aspects we examine the languages.
Especially since I live abroad in a multicultural environment I noticed that those nations who lived closed because some reason (for example communism, etc.) built up few frequently repeated historical, cultural or lingual opinions like this.
@journeymanjim Hungarian also similar to turkish language not just by lots of hundreds or thousand similar world but by its similar system (word order, several almost the same suffixes, etc.). Turkish can produce very long words too by their numerous suffixes, like hungarian. And I didnt mention other turk languages. So if hungarian is the 2nd hardest, so does the turkish (or who knows...maybe thats harder???).
And I also can mention Mongolian language, where the system is also similar..
@journeymanjim and there are similar quite ancient words too like numbers or colours (and who knows what else...I just checked this).
I tried to find out some logic in Taglog language by google translator and that doesnt seem easy either...
So once one hungarian heard from a foreigner who spoke maybe 10 languages that hungarian is the 2nd hardest (but probably 7 language were european which is like 1 because all related and lets say the rest 3 were chinese, arabic and hungarian) and since...
@journeymanjim and since then people tell it to eachother. After a while you can hear it from everywhere, because the info returns again and again, so it sounds like a well based info, veryfied by lots of sources :))))
For example japanese or chinese are a well known nations, but what the 99.99 % of people does know about these languages.....zero. Maybe chinese has strage writing or pronouncation but its system maybe not so difficult. Similar japanese....the system itself...who knows...
it's pointless debating which language is the hardest, as it depends on who is learning it. English, for example, is much harder for a native Chinese speaker to learn than it is for the average Dutch or Scandinavian person. Russian is much harder for an English speaker to learn than for a Polish speaker. And so on.
I just looked it up and I guess, I'm not sure I agree with this, but Polish is the hardest. I wouldn't know cause I haven't tried to learn it but second is Finnish. I had some friends who tried to teach me and I have to agree that it is pretty complicated. Either way Hungarian Rocks.
@ushrark Language difficulty is a retarded notion. I've learned quite a few languages and none of them seemed harder than the others. Chinese languages may be harder bat that's because their writing system, not the core language.
@StevenShields29 if you do not even know what "phonetic language" means, then how can you be saying that it is not??? It IS phonetic. it means that each sound is represented by a letter, and these will always be pronounced the same.
and anyway, Hungarian IS hard, because it is not related to anything. It is quite easy to learn Checz for a Polish, for example. But Hungarian is not related, so even if you speak several languages, none will resemble it.
@StevenShields29 so Danish is equally hard for a Swede to learn as, say Japanese is for an English speaker? Also, the sound to letter correspondence is all but 100%. I live in Hungary, and for example, no one in the local supermarket, the convenience store, the deli, or the cafe in our neigbourhood speaks English, and that is in Sixth district. (that isn't a complaint by the way - of course I'm happy to try and speak Hungarian at these places).
@mattshorehew If you stop, calm down, and READ my post, you will no doubt see that my comments were in regard to learning a foreign language. I did not mention languages, such as Danish and Swedish, which form a dialect continuum. Your comment also does not address the concerns I mentioned in my post, so I assume you have no (constructive) comment on them.
@StevenShields29 ok. 1. this video obviously is meant as a simple overview for people who may be moving to Hungary, so no it probably wasn't written in consultation Noam Chomsky, but by some expat, trying to help out other expats. 2. you said that no language is harder for someone to learn than any other, and I pointed out that that is nonsense, by citing the example that Danish (or Dutch or German) is easy for a Swede to learn. Probably much easier than Hungarian would be for them.
Na hát tényleg igaza van OurSuperAmy-nek! nem is tudtam, hogy Magyarországnak vannak ilyen szép helyei.. pl mutatni kéne a VIII. Kerületet.. xD beleillene mert a végén mondja, hogy "Kívánunk minden jót Magyarországra költözéséhez" xD és így pont passzolna.. csak így minket Magyarokat égetne a videó.. de mi így is megcsináljuk magunknak az égést szóval mindegy lenne.. a sok szemetelés stb.. szerintem mindenhol jobb mint MO-n! xD

your hat: sapkád your hats: sapkáid

The Hungarian language is unique.Not stolen like the Romanian.
The Romanian language consist of Hungarian,Turkish,French,Italian,Greek and Slavic languages. (I read about your language.Romania has no own language and no own history.This is the whole truth.) So shut up you inferior shit!

@Krafter10 Hungarian is greatly influenced by Turkish, Russian, German and some Ugric languages (making it very close to Finnish or Estonian). So don't be rude and try to use Google more often.

"the worst language EVAR on this earth !"
Well this is a clear statement, with right spelling. Thank you, for your opinion with a constructive character.
By the way the hungarian language has the most words on earth (2000000, yes you read it right, two million words) so it's the best way to express yourself perfectly. And for one word, in hungarian there could be even 75 synonims. Just like "to move" (haladni): menni, futni, járni, kelni, rohanni, loholni, baktatni, bandukolni, etc.

@Compantino Like I said, the difficulty of a language depends on who's learning it. Hungarian may be difficult for an English speaker to learn, probably not as much for an Estonian or Finn. I would imagine Chinese is a harder language for most people in general because of its written form, which makes it like learning two languages at once. And please don't resort to name-calling, it doesn't help your argument at all.
journeymanjim 1 year ago
@journeymanjim Don't give a rat's ass about him. I agree with you, basically it depends on the person. In fact Hungarian is one of the 3 hardest languages, but it doesn't mean that it can't be learnt. I'm Hungarian, but my father's Algerian (he's been living here for 17 years already), and he speaks Hungarian like a native speaker.
Battyesz 1 year ago
@journeymanjim Yeah you are absolutely right. First of all it is impossible to say which language is the most difficult, even just to say which is the 10 most difficult without ranking....because it depends on from which aspects we examine the languages.
Especially since I live abroad in a multicultural environment I noticed that those nations who lived closed because some reason (for example communism, etc.) built up few frequently repeated historical, cultural or lingual opinions like this.
asianhordes 10 months ago
@journeymanjim Hungarian also similar to turkish language not just by lots of hundreds or thousand similar world but by its similar system (word order, several almost the same suffixes, etc.). Turkish can produce very long words too by their numerous suffixes, like hungarian. And I didnt mention other turk languages. So if hungarian is the 2nd hardest, so does the turkish (or who knows...maybe thats harder???).
And I also can mention Mongolian language, where the system is also similar..
asianhordes 10 months ago
@journeymanjim and there are similar quite ancient words too like numbers or colours (and who knows what else...I just checked this).
I tried to find out some logic in Taglog language by google translator and that doesnt seem easy either...
So once one hungarian heard from a foreigner who spoke maybe 10 languages that hungarian is the 2nd hardest (but probably 7 language were european which is like 1 because all related and lets say the rest 3 were chinese, arabic and hungarian) and since...
asianhordes 10 months ago
@journeymanjim and since then people tell it to eachother. After a while you can hear it from everywhere, because the info returns again and again, so it sounds like a well based info, veryfied by lots of sources :))))
For example japanese or chinese are a well known nations, but what the 99.99 % of people does know about these languages.....zero. Maybe chinese has strage writing or pronouncation but its system maybe not so difficult. Similar japanese....the system itself...who knows...

fundymother 1 year ago
it's pointless debating which language is the hardest, as it depends on who is learning it. English, for example, is much harder for a native Chinese speaker to learn than it is for the average Dutch or Scandinavian person. Russian is much harder for an English speaker to learn than for a Polish speaker. And so on.
journeymanjim 1 year ago
I just looked it up and I guess, I'm not sure I agree with this, but Polish is the hardest. I wouldn't know cause I haven't tried to learn it but second is Finnish. I had some friends who tried to teach me and I have to agree that it is pretty complicated. Either way Hungarian Rocks.

@StevenShields29 if you do not even know what "phonetic language" means, then how can you be saying that it is not??? It IS phonetic. it means that each sound is represented by a letter, and these will always be pronounced the same.
and anyway, Hungarian IS hard, because it is not related to anything. It is quite easy to learn Checz for a Polish, for example. But Hungarian is not related, so even if you speak several languages, none will resemble it.

slytopp 1 year ago
@StevenShields29 so Danish is equally hard for a Swede to learn as, say Japanese is for an English speaker? Also, the sound to letter correspondence is all but 100%. I live in Hungary, and for example, no one in the local supermarket, the convenience store, the deli, or the cafe in our neigbourhood speaks English, and that is in Sixth district. (that isn't a complaint by the way - of course I'm happy to try and speak Hungarian at these places).
mattshorehew 1 year ago
@mattshorehew If you stop, calm down, and READ my post, you will no doubt see that my comments were in regard to learning a foreign language. I did not mention languages, such as Danish and Swedish, which form a dialect continuum. Your comment also does not address the concerns I mentioned in my post, so I assume you have no (constructive) comment on them.
StevenShields29 1 year ago
@StevenShields29 ok. 1. this video obviously is meant as a simple overview for people who may be moving to Hungary, so no it probably wasn't written in consultation Noam Chomsky, but by some expat, trying to help out other expats. 2. you said that no language is harder for someone to learn than any other, and I pointed out that that is nonsense, by citing the example that Danish (or Dutch or German) is easy for a Swede to learn. Probably much easier than Hungarian would be for them.
