Impersonal statements and the missing passive

Hungarian has essentially no everyday passive voice. Where English says 'Hungarian is spoken here', Hungarian just uses the plain 3rd person plural with no stated subject: Itt magyarul beszélnek — literally 'here they speak Hungarian', but understood as a general, agentless statement.

For a generic 'one' or 'you' (as in 'one never knows'), Hungarian uses az ember ('the person') as a stand-in subject: Az ember sosem tudja, mi történik ('One never knows what happens').
