Lesson 18 of 74 · A2, Unit 3: Work, learning, and free time

Hobbies and free time

szeretek ('I like/love to') pairs with the infinitive — the -ni form: szeretek olvasni, 'I like to read.' The infinitive is the dictionary form used this way.

Sports mostly use their own -ik verb: focizik ('plays football'), úszik ('swims'), fut ('runs') — you'll meet the -ik pattern from the daily routine lesson again here.

By the end you can:

  • name common hobbies and sports
  • say what you like doing with szeretek + infinitive
  • talk about how often, tying back to mindig/gyakran/néha
