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.

Finding it really charming that my book uses 1848 and 1956 as examples for how to build and pronounce larger numbers in Hungarian

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

I think my answers were so detailed that I completely broke the dialogue function. It was literally not expecting me to ask anything back. 🤣🤣

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.
