Plural Grammar Rules

The plural is the form which refers to more than one object or person. For example: I speak two languages the plural here is [languages] because it refers to more than one [language]. The examples below use plurals in different ways and places to demonstrate how they look when converted from their singular form.

Grammar + Rules - Hungarian
I speak one language [singular form] csak egy nyelvet beszélek
we speak three languages [plural noun] három nyelvet beszélünk
he visits many countries [adverb + plural noun] sok országot meglátogat
they are happy now [plural pronoun] ők most boldogok
she has five red shoes [adjective + plural noun] öt piros cipője van
I want a sandwich without onions [preposition + plural noun] szeretnék egy szendvicset hagyma nélkül

The following is a list of examples showing both the singular and plural form. This demonstrates how the plural is used with humans, objects and animals.

Emergency Phrases

Now it's time to practice your Hungarian by looking at these phrases which are related to emergencies. Be prepared when traveling abroad, just in case you need help or by offering help to someone else. I recommend writing these expressions down on a notebook before traveling.

Call the ambulance hívja a mentőket!
I need a doctor orvosra van szükségem
Where is the closest pharmacy? hol van a legközelebbi gyógyszertár?
