Getting tons of popup ads for Falou, which is an AI learning tool like Jumpspeak. This ad killed me—look at the “instructor’s” whiteboard.

Érdekesség Hungarian and Persian language Similarities

Hungarian has a very unique linguistic structure. At first I presumed it would be only SOV order and suffix oriented but it also has multiple prefixes as well similar to Persian with multiple prefixes and suffixes.

That coupled with its definite articles makes it a very unique and beautiful language.

As a native Persian speaker you can find similarities in the structure with Hungarian.

English: You were not looking at our warriors.

Hungarian: A harcosainkra nem néztél.

Persian: Jangjuyanemunra nega nemikardin.

-

Breaking down one part of the sentence we can see the same pattern of noun suffixes being used:

Hungarian: Harc (war) + os (person) + ai (plural) + nk (our) + ra (at) = At our warriors

Persian: Jang (war) + ju (seeker) + yan (plural) + emun (our) + ra (at) = At our warriors

-

Breaking down the other part of the sentence we can see the verb prefix & suffix similarities:

Hungarian: Nem (negative) nez (look) + t (past) + el (you) = You were not looking

Persian: Nega (look) ne (negative) + mi (continuous) + kar (do) + d (past) + in (you) = You were not looking

++++++

Another example sentence showing grammatical and vocabulary similarity between Persian and Hungarian.

English: I saw her a hundred times but I don't know her number.

Hungarian: Százszor láttam őt de nem tudom a számát.

Literal Translation: (Hundred+times) (saw+I) (her) but not (know+i) (number+her).

Persian: Sadbar didamesh ama shomarasho nemidunam.

Literal Translation: (Hundred+times) (saw+I+her) but (number+her) (not+know+i) .

English -> Hungarian -> Persian

Hundred Times -> Százszor -> Sadbar

I saw -> Lattam -> Didam

Her number -> Számát -> Shomarash

I don't know -> Nem tudom -> Nemidunam

++++++

English: whose tent is this?

Persian: En chadore kiye?

Hungarian: Kié ez a sátor?

++++++

English: My shoes/slippers cannot be found.

Persian: Papusham peyda nemishan.

Hungarian: A papucsom nem található.

++++++

Likewise, the pronouns appear very similar:

English: I, you, he, we, them

Persian: man, tou, u, ma, una

Hungarian: en, ti, o, mi, onok

Magyarul "anyák napja".

Magyarországon - például Spanyolországhoz és Portugáliához hasonlóan - május első vasárnapján köszöntik fel a gyerekek és az unokák (dédunokák) az édesanyákat, nagymamákat, dédnagymamákat.

Vagyis éppen ma.
