Let’s LearnHungarian

Lesson 6 of 74 · A1, Unit 3: Every day

Asking questions

Hungarian question words nearly all start with a similar shape, which makes them easy to group: ki, mi, hol, hová, honnan, mikor, miért.

A yes/no question often looks exactly like a statement — the difference is intonation: your voice rises on the second-to-last syllable. With a question word, word order barely changes.

By the end you can:

  • recognise and use the main question words
  • form short questions like Ki ez? and Hol van a mosdó?
  • choose correctly between hol / hová / honnan and between hány / mennyi
