	Hej Pista, While browsing the Finnish national broadcaster (YLE), I came across a whole bunch of learning material for many topics including foreign languages. In your case, you'll probably like the stuff for Hungarian. The actors speak quite clearly and there are also subtitles in Hungarian so that you can also read along. Here are the videos: Greetings Numbers, Wine-tasting, Greetings Shopping In a restaurant Family Directions and travelling By the way, you'll hear the waiter greet the guests with "Kezét csókolom" in the video about being in a restaurant.

	Nagyon szépen köszönöm, Chung. After the first video I thought these would be too easy for me, but well, I was wrong. I'll have to watch these some more. Having the visual aspect seems to help; I've never actually seen Hungarians speaking Hungarian yet. As for Assimil today, I did the review of the reviews, lessons 8-13. These are just covering -ik verbs, possessive suffixes, basic directional suffixes, and some postpositions. Fortunately it was pretty easy and I was able to translate the English to Hungarian with about 95% accuracy. I even got the smaller, less important words that don't turn up more than a couple of times. I think I'm even getting a feel for the word order, which is hard to believe. As for new lessons, like I said before I'm at lesson 42 which is also a revision lesson. The main topics are matching demonstrative pronouns with the noun they refer to (ending-wise and postposition-wise), comparing things, and the "false past" tense. I have yet to actually go through the lessons again, but I'll probably do one or two tonight. I think I'm going to take my time at this point and spread this revision to a couple of days, so as to stagger my schedule between the two routines I have going, as I previously mentioned.

	Hey ! Ich habe total vergessen, deine Frage zu beantworten ! "ka/ ke" \| "cske / cska" sind Diminutive wie das "schen" im Deutschem. Im Ungarische gibt es aber noch die "i", "s", "cse", "õ", "gy" etc. Zum Beispiel ist ja "köszi" die kurze Form von "köszönöm". Es gibt noch andere Diminutive, die eher von Kindern benutzt werden wie zum Beispiel "naci" für Hose (nadrag), "boci" (die Kuh), "maci" (der Bär), nyuszi (Häse), "fölci" (Ich glaube... für Geographie...) usw. liebliche Kosenamen : Picur, Cica, Szivi, Kincsem, Szívem, Kicsi szív, Életem, ... Kosenamen für Kinder : Kicsikém, Nyuszike, Manócska, Örsi, Cupi... Ich finde es total faszinierend wie man mit der Sprache spielen kann, wie dehnbar sie ist. Ich vermisse so etwas im Deutschem (so etwas gibt es auch im Französischem). LG Zsófi 1 person has voted this message useful
