Fun with Hungarian
Speaking a foreign language can be frustrating, but sometimes it can be fun. For example, the word order in Hungarian is interesting. Sometimes when we translate word-for-word into English it ends up sounding like Yoda from Star Wars. To say you must leave, you would say, "Mennem kell." Literally translated that would be "Go I must." Or if you want to say what you are doing, you might say, "Teát iszom" or "Gyümölcsöt eszem." Word-for-word that would be "Tea I drink" and "Fruit I eat." Then there's "Esik az eső." "Falls the rain." So, sometimes when we whisper to each other and laugh, it's because we are reminded we sound like Yoda. Hungarian can be fun.
