Aztán sokáig féltünk, de már nem volt problémánk. Reméljük, hogy már őt nem fogjuk látni. Szóval, láthatjátok talán, miért olyan sokáig nem írtam, más dolgok voltak a fejemben. Mi újság veletek? Remélem, hogy semmi olyan, mint az én történetem! Edited by maxval on 15 March 2011 at 4:40pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||||||||

1.
When using emphasis in nouns with possesive endings, the article goes before the personal pronoun. a házam - az én házam a kutyád - a te kutyád a felesége - az ő felesége etc. 2. The word "nincs" can be used only in present tense, in past tense is "nem volt", in future tense is "nem lesz". (Imperative: "ne legyen", conditional present: "ne lenne", conditional past: "nem lett volna".) When you learn conditional, you will see that the use of Hungarian conditional is much more simple than English or Spanish conditional. Or both sentences are in indicative (if the condition is factual) or both are in conditional (if the condition in counterfactual). For a Hungarian the English conditional sentences seem to be too complex. Edited by maxval on 15 March 2011 at 4:57pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||||||||

Here I really did mean to use the present tense. I wanted to say that we don't have a problem (with fear). 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||||||||

In English it's possible to just say eg. So we waited for him despite our fear - stupid! It did feel wrong in Hungarian, even for me. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||||||||

A small correction for you. We say 'either...or...', not 'or...or...' Is this a translation from Hungarian? Can I say 'vagy...vagy...'? I know it's like this in Spanish too - 'ó...ó...' I'm guessing Bulgarian uses 2 words like English because Czech does too 'bud'...nebo...' 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||||||||

You want to say that in that moment you had a problem with fear, but now dont have this problem? 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||||||||

I always forgot this! In Bulgarian is like in Hungarian or in Spanish, you can say "or or". Edited by maxval on 15 March 2011 at 5:22pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||||||||

You can say in Hungarian with one word too, but not "hülye", it should be "hülyeség". And if it is in the past, there must be past tense "hülyeség volt". 2 persons have voted this message useful |
