Hungarian101: how to ask questions

Writer's picture: YasirYasir

Today we're learning about questions... ugye? (right?)


Question words:

  • Ki? - Who? e.g. Ki az a képen? - Who is that on the picture?

  • Mi? - What? e.g. Mi ez? - What's this?

  • Mikor? - When? e.g. Mikor zár a bolt? - When does the shop close?

  • Hol? - Where? e.g. Hol van a Szabadság szobor? - Where is the Liberty Statue?

  • Miért? - Why? e.g. Miért ilyen csípős minden? - Why is everything so spicy?

  • Mennyi? - How much/many? e.g. Mennyi híd van Budapesten? - How many bridges there are in Budapest?

  • Hogyan? - How? e.g. Hogyan jutok el a Hősök terére? - How can I get to the Heroes' Square? Hogyan mondod ezt? - How do you say this?


We already covered that Hungarian words can have object or plural markers and today we will learn a new one with a question word that can come handy during shopping!

Mennyibe kerül? - How much does it cost?

-ba/be/ban/ben usually indicate if something is inside something e.g. Moziba megy. (goes to the cinema as in you go inside) and in this case it means that that amount of money will be enough to cover the price of what you want to buy. Usually only the price is the answer but sometimes they say: PRICE-ba/be e.g. 10 000 Ft-ba kerül.
