Lesson 16 of 74 · A2, Unit 3: Work, learning, and free time

Jobs and work

To ask someone's job, use Mi a foglalkozásod? (informal) or Mi a foglalkozása? (formal) — the same -d/-ja possessive pattern you've already seen in Mi a neved?

Most profession names have a female form ending in -nő: tanár/tanárnő ('teacher'); orvos works for both, and many modern job titles are simply borrowed from English.

By the end you can:

  • name common professions
  • ask and answer what someone does for work
  • say where you work using -ban/-ben
