Hungarian is a bloody pain in the situpons. A lovely example of how broken it is is this grammatically and almost sensible sentence:
Te tetted e tettetett tettet, te tettetett tettek tettese.
Totally ridiculous and means "You did this pretended action, you, the delinquent of pretended actions." It does get worse, if you read down.

When you start adding all the prefixes and suffixes to a word things can get really complicated. It's like German would be if German could only grow up and really go for it in building composite words.

Speaking of Schiff, our German teacher always mixed up schiff and fisch, so Fischfang became Schifffang
it ain’t broke, it doesn’t have enough features yet.

It's pronounced just like it's spelt, I'm told. That's quite a relief...

Surely that should be "Te tetted e tettetett tettet, te tettetett tettek tettese e Chrissie Waddel y Ryan Giggs"

Typical. All other languages have words for "Cheers" that people can actually pronounce when they're sloshed. Leave it to the Hungarians to be different...

Hi Nagy,
Greets from a country where "mai mai mai mai mai," can mean "new wood doesn't burn, does it ?" Or, "pom ma" can mean "I came/am coming/will come," or "I'm a dog."
These choice words from Hungarian are wonderful, could you please record yourself speaking them slowly, and post links to the audio files here 
cheers, Bill
