Lesson 52 of 74 · B1, Unit 4: Practical situations and stories

Formal Hungarian

Every lesson from greetings on has quietly taught you two registers side by side; this lesson collects the formal one into the specific words and structures that show up in an email or a meeting.

Tisztelt + name/title opens a formal letter or email, the Hungarian equivalent of 'Dear...': Tisztelt Kovács Úr! Formal emails close just as predictably, with Üdvözlettel ('Regards').

By the end you can:

open and close a formal email correctly
run basic meeting phrases: agreeing, disagreeing, and returning to the topic
address people formally by title and surname
