HUNGARIAN LANGUAGE GUIDE
Hungarian is spoken by about 13 million people in Hungary and the adjoining sections of Rumania and Yugoslavia. This Language Guide will enable you to ask directions, buy things or order a meal in these regions.
How to Use the Records and Guide
This Guide is not intended to give you a complete command of Hungarian. For a thorough course write to the United States Armed Forces Institute, Madison, Wisconsin. This handbook will, however, enable you to carry on simple conversations in the language.
The records that go with this Guide give you a number of the most important words and phrases in Hungarian. Read the section called Hints on Pronunciation and then listen to the records until you know the Useful Words and Phrases by heart. Repeat each word out loud right after you hear it and say it exactly the way the Hungarian speaker does. Imitate the pronunciation as closely as you can, just as you might mimic someone who has an unusual accent.
5
Try to get every detail of the pronunciation, even the rhythm and intonation. Follow the words in your Guide but use them only as a reminder, if you hear something different from what you see written, go by what you hear. Remember that you can’t get the sound oj a language from the printed word alone—you have to use your ears even more than your eyes. If you don’t have the records and can’t get a Hungarian speaker to read the words, you will have to rely on the Hints on Pronunciation alone.
By the time you have practiced the Useful Words and Phrases several times, you will know what sound each letter stands for in the Guide. You will then be able to pronounce the Additional Expressions even though you have not actually heard them, and you will be able to form sentences of your own by using the section called Fill-in Sentences.
YOU HAVE TO USE YOUR
EARS EVEN MORE THAN
YOUR EYES/
Hints on Pronunciation
All the words and phrases are written in a spelling which you read like English. Each letter or combination of letters is used for the sound it normally represents in English and it always stands for the same sound. Thus, “oo” is always to be read as in too, boot, tooth, roost, never as anything else. Say these words and then pronounce the vowel sound by itself. That is the sound you must use every time you see "oo” in the Pronunciation column. If you should use some other sound—for example, the one in blood or the one in door—you might be misunderstood.
Syllables that are accented—that is, pronounced louder than others—are written in capital letters. Hungarian words are always accented on the first syllable. Curved lines (v) are used to show sounds that are pronounced together without any break; for example, "N^YOALTS” meaning "eight.”
7
The words are written in a simplified spelling, like this...
BUTTE.... BJTOOT PHOENIX-- FEE-niks PHILADELPHIA—pl-a-DELF-ip POUGHKEEPSIE— po-KIP-see SIOUX CITY...SOO-SlT-ee WORCESTER ...WOO5T- ur
SCHENECTADY- ska-NEKT-a-dee
the SYL-la-bles
that are pro-NOUNCED LOUD-er are in CAP-H-al LET-ters
SPECIAL POINTS
Here are a few points to note as you listen to the records:
EE	when underlined, stands for a sound like
the ee in bee, meet, seem, except that you round your lips as you say it. Example: “VAWR-ro-tee” meaning “needle.”
I	when underlined, as in bit, miss, tin, but
said with the lips rounded. Example: “KEH-ril” meaning “it costs.”
ER	when underlined, as in her, fern, mercy,
but said with the lips rounded. Example: * * VEN-dayg-ler”meaning ‘ ‘restaurant.
E or EH as in met, men, bell. Example: “ID-eh” meaning “here.”
-frat bugler is O|)/ one u)ho	V
/ASaiIt-WAfe/ A
DJ as in JUDGE
O or QA
DJ
N
with a dot underneath, as in go, boat, soap, except that it is very short. Example: ‘‘HOAL” meaning “where.”
stands for a sound something like the one in judge, George, joke. Listen for it on the record. Example: “EDJ” meaning “one.”
when underlined, stands for an “n” sound combined with a “y” sound, Example: “HAHN” meaning “how much” or “how many.”
10
USEFUL WORDS AND PHRASES
The following is the exact wording of the Hungarian language records issued with this Guide:
These records give you a few useful phrases in Hungarian. To learn to say these phrases so that you will be understood, imitate the sounds exactly as you hear them. You will hear the English first, followed by the Hungarian; then repeat the Hungarian out loud, and say it good and loud. Remember! Repeat every Hungarian phrase right after you hear it.
In the Hungarian Language Guide which should be used with these records, all the phrases you will hear are written in a simplified spelling which you read like English.
Listen to the records six or seven times and you will know the phrases by heart.
