Lesson Transcript
| Hi, everybody! This is Lena from HungarianPod101.com. |
| Do you know how to say “thank you” in Hungarian? In this lesson, you'll learn three different ways to say "thank you" and how to respond. |
| Let’s start with the easiest one. |
| Köszönöm. |
| [slowly] Köszönöm. |
| It means “thank you.” |
| If you want to show your sincere appreciation for something, you can say this phrase. |
| Köszönöm szépen. |
| [slowly] Köszönöm szépen. |
| The word szépen means "very much." So this expression means "Thank you very much." |
| It expresses a deeper appreciation for a personal kindness. |
| When you want to show your appreciation in a more casual way, you can use this expression. |
| Köszi. |
| [slowly] Köszi. |
| When you want to thank your friends, use this expression. It means "thanks." |
| Now you know 3 different ways to say "thank you" in Hungarian! But how do you respond if someone thanks you? |
| If someone says "thank you" in Hungarian, simply say Nincs mit. It literally means "nothing to thank for" or "you're welcome." |
| Let's wrap up this lesson by recapping what we've learned. Listen to the expressions and repeat after me. |
| “Thank you." |
| Köszönöm. |
| *beep |
| Köszönöm. |
| "Thank you so much." |
| Köszönöm szépen. |
| *beep |
| Köszönöm szépen. |
| The casual way to say "thank you." |
| Köszi. |
| *beep |
| Köszi. |
| And to respond, just say: |
| Nincs mit. |
| *beep |
| Nincs mit. |
| Well done! [pause] |
| Be careful about Köszi because it is really casual. Don't use it with superiors or people you are meeting for the first time. |
| You just learned three different ways to say “thank you” and how to respond in Hungarian. |
