Did You know Hungarian language is one of the most similar languages to japanese grammatically. (2024)

Japanese,Turkish and Hungarian from Ural-Altaic language family and their grammar rules are similar of course.

Oh, agglutinative language, right? It’s quite interesting that people who live so far each other share similar grammatical system:)

I try to show you guys some examples, but it takes long time.

Hungarian isagglutinative. That means that instead of saying "IN the school" we say "iskoláBAN", that said, westicksuffixes to the end of our words. What's more, it is even possible to putmore than onesuffices to a word like this: "iskoláKBAN", in which "iskola" is school, "-k" is the pluralizer suffix and "-ban" means "in". Japanese, Finnish and Turkish are similar in this manner.Hungarian has a so-calledflexible word order. This means that the sentence "I eat an apple." can also be rendered as "An apple I eat" in Hungarian. The only important thing one has to take care about is that you cannot put words together randomly, you can only change the order of grammatical elements. This means that it is incorrect in Hungarian too to say "An I eat apple." or "An eat I apple." Flexible ≠ random.In Hungarian there areextremelymany words that mean the same, yet with a shade of a difference in meaning. These are called synonyms. Hungarian vocabulary is sooo rich we even have several synonyms for the word synonym itself! ;)Hungarian has two words for "red". Piros and vörös. The difference is historical and today there is no rule for which to use, you just have to learn it. Most of the time, "vörös" is a darker shade of red than "piros". Basically "vörös" derives from the word "vér" which means blood, but you can use both words for blood in fact. The difference is that blood that flows in our veins is usually considered "piros" and blood that has been spilt and has coagulated is considered "vörös".The Hungarian alphabet, although it uses the Latin alphabet as a base, is very unique in terms of having letters that are composed of two or threeotherletters. For example, for the English sound "j" as in "jam", we have a letter made of three others! It is "dzs" and yes, these three letters are considered one.Another interesting fact about Hungarian alphabet is that there are two letters that are pronouncedexactly the same. The letter "j" and "ly" (- yes this is one letter) are both pronounced "y" as in "yeti". The difference is historical. Fun fact in the fun fact is that while there are loads of words beginning in "j" (jó [good], János [John], Jézus [Jesus], január [january], etc.) there isonly one wordbeginning with "ly". Lyuk (=hole). You can't even imagine how many people get even this single one wrong by writing "juk" (ouch, this one reeeeally hurts)!Also, it is worth mentioning that in Hungarian the letter "s" is not pronounced like "s" in the English words "soap" or "summer", but rather like "sheep" or "shower". That said, Budapest is actually pronounced likeBudapesht. As for the letter "s" in "soap" or "summer", Hungarian uses the double-consonant letter "sz" (Szeged, Tisza etc.).Hungarian has no passive voice. You must find a workaround using active verbs which is, in fact, easier than you'd ever imagine... The language used to have a passive voice though, but it fell out from the language during 18th-19th centuries. Now, if you use them, you sound like as if you came from the Medieval era... It sounds pretty funny though...Ah, this is the best one. :P Hungarian has some extremely damn long words like "megszentségteleníthetetlenségeskedéseitekért" or "elkelkáposztátalaníthatatlanságoskodásaitokért". What other language can create such monsters, eh? There is a fly in the ointment though... we do not use these words, they are artificial and they use too many suffices to "decrypt" them. Nonetheless, they are grammatically valid words :)

@Team4
Thank you for using your time for explanation!
I've read all (I don't think I understand all of them...) First and foremost I've never heard the word "agglutinative". Japanese is also it, right?Surely Hungarian grammatically is very similar Japanese but there are so many words in Hungarian. It seems hard to learn Hungarian as well as Japanese.
It's hard to read for us even if there is some reading on one of kanji. There is also irregular reading them.
I'd like to learn Hungarian after learning English because I can't learn two languages ​​at the same time.😂

I found a interesting word whem I searched Hungarian. "sótlan" means light taste? it's "塩足らん(siotaran)" in Japanese.lol

@Team4 wait, what a interesting language… Thank you for explaining a lot, I’ll search about it later by myself, too:)
And can I ask you whether Lomb Kató is famous there? And is it true that Hungarian people have the same name order as Japanese do, I mean, family name first and given name after?

• Pays ou régiondu Hongrie

@Bikila Yes, the name order is same.
