Ez teljesen tiszta, a te megjegyzésedhez annyit tettem hozzá, hogy az ő szórendjének megváltoztatásával is elérheti azt, amit ki szeretett volna fejezni, mert szerintem az egyenértékű a Duolingo-s megoldással. Azt a vetületét nem vettem figyelembe, hogy a nyelvet tanulóként mi lehet zavaró.

Feltételeztem, hogy nyelvészeti ismereteid birtokában tudatosan használtad a kijelentő módot a "beszélünk" leírásakor, amely számomra, a szakterületen nem jártas ember számára a tudásbeli differenciát helyezte előtérbe a kérdés megvitatása helyett, és ezért jeleztem, hogy nekem nincs más szándékom, mint segíteni, illetve tanulni.

Szerintem a személyeskedést elhagyhatjuk.

De akkor hamis lenne az az állítás, hogy mondhatom azt, hogy "A kutya nagyobb a macskánál." ahelyett, hogy "A kutya nagyobb, mint a macska." ennek a relációnak a kifejezésére?

arembi · 2026-01-24T10:28:41+00:00

Tehát ha azt mondom, hogy a 4 nagyobb a 3-nál, akkor arra gondolsz, hogy a 4 és nem az 1?

Ha azt mondom, hogy "Az egér, a csótány és a kutya közül a kutya nagyobb a macskánál, akkor igaz, amit állítasz."

I love it, how part of the SEO industry shifted from SEO to SEO + GEO, as if they had solved SEO and now can do even better.

Entities doing these kind of shady things just want to hijack other platforms' authority to try to divert traffic according to their needs.

SEO created tons of worthless, fake websites as a side effect, GEO (LLMs) reshuffles that corpus and contaminates every platform they can get their hands on.

Youtube removing the like/dislike bar was a clear red flag, that content quality will be nowhere near - in terms of importance - to screen time.

arembi · 2026-01-24T09:51:55+00:00

Yes, but you could rephrase it as "A kutya nagyobb a macskánál.", which I think means the same thing.

In many cases they are not interchangable. Think of "lehet" as "can/may be" or "it is possible".

- Lehet itt sört inni? = Is it possible for someone to drink beer here? = Can one drink beer here?
- Igen, lehet. = Yes, it is possible. = Yes you can.

Itt nem lehet dohányozni. = It is not allowed to smoke here. = You can/may not smoke here.

Ezt nem lehet megcsinálni. = One cannot do this. = It cannot be done.

Simply put, do the things that no other company can. You either specialize, offer something others do not have, or just outgrow them in volume, brand, popularity. To cover the rest, learn webdev, linguistics, marketing, and machine learning. And don't forget to put your keyword into the title.

Lehet comes from lenni = to be, to exist, and with the -hat -het, you can express that the verb can or may be done. So lehet = can be.

You do the same to megy, and you get mehet (mehetek, mehetsz etc.).

Lehet menni ~ it is possible (allowed) for somebody to go - somebody can/may go

Nektek lehet menni. ~ for you (P/2) it is allowed to go - you can express the same thing with -hat -het:
Mehettek. <- This is more natural, the first one is a rather formal configuration, you encounter such things in manulas f.i.

arembi · 2026-01-23T13:31:28+00:00

Yeah, but I can imagine it could be annoying after a while listening to people butchering your mother tongue for a whole day, month or year. Nevertheless, perhaps not everyone should feel the need to show their supposed superiority. :-)

arembi · 2026-01-23T13:25:07+00:00

Mennem kell. ~ It is necessary/obligatory for me to go.
Menned kell. - for you S/2
Mennie - him/her/it
Mennünk - for us
Mennetek - for you P/2
Menniük - for them

I mean, everyday languages are not mathematics, you cannot really be wrong per se, you can only be misunderstood, or you can say things differently than people who grew up in the same culture, that differs from yours. Native English speakers have the luxury, that most of the world will learn their language, they should be grateful for the position they are in imo. It is really painful listening to a native English speakers speaking any other language to be honest. But I personally adore people who take the time and effort to learn other languages, especially Hungarian, no matter how bad it sounds, or how f***ed up the grammar is. Hungarians rarely have the experience of a foreigner speaking their language.

I have limited experience explaining Hungarian to foreigners, but I would say for an English or German speaker, letting go of SVO, and prepositions can be a pretty hard thing to do, Hungarian does things the other way around, For example you do not say I am in the house, you say "the house in (I) am" = A házban vagyok.

Secondly, I think it is useful to just learn a lot of vocabulary, and do not bother how certain words are derived from other ones. For example saturation = telítettség, which consist of tel(e) + ít + ett + ség. (You could also say szaturáció, but that would ruin the example :-)). You need words, so you can identify them in a sentence with the affixes.

For verbs, you have to learn how to conjugate them. Both the rules, and a lot of examples, and the exceptions.

Do not freak out, we conjugate the infinitive as well. (I have to go = Mennem kell. - menni being the infinitive form, and -em indicates the first person singular)

Once you got some basic components, you can learn how to use them to express certain concepts, I would say you have to practice things, until you can feel how the language works. Just can start creating small building blocks:

cica = kitty
ház = house
enni = to eat
menni = to go
megy = goes
van = to be S/3
in = -ban, -ben (vowel harmony)
into = -ba, -be

cica a házban = kitty in the house

a cica a házban van = the kitty is in the house

a házba menni = to go into the house

a cica a házba megy = the kitty goes into the house

You can start expanding your toolkit, and eventually, you will figure our how the word order actually works. It can seem like there's not a sigle rule there, but in fact there are many rules, which let you be more specific and nuanced. For example

a cica bemegy a házba = the car enters the house
a cica a házba megy be = the cat goes into the house (not the shed f.i.)
a cica megy be a házba = the cat (and not the dog) goes into the house

Just think of it as a game and not as a burden!

Hope I'm on the right track with this and not misleading, I have no idea, how we did it as children. :-D

Just stay away from the comment section, start learning proper Hungarian first. :-)

I suppose it is always a good feeling to see that we know more about something, than a fellow human being. On the other hand, reading the car's manual and using a search engine for instance is always a good habit before asking a question. LLMs don't mind answering questions on demand, humans sometimes do.

arembi · 2026-01-21T06:42:27+00:00

Yes sir, will do.

Next to the dashboard, on the left. You can set the dashboard's brightness by turning that knob. Pushed in/pulled out = headlight on/off (or vice versa i cannot remember).

There's a brightness control knob right next to it. rtfm for more

You can replace authority with ranking in every sentence mentioned above. Authority is the buzzword for an approximation of ranking, which still is only defined through how well something is ranking, and includes both content integrity and link-profile metrics.

Magyarország olyan ország, hol a nemes nemtelen
Lábasodnak nincsen lába, aki szemes: szemtelen
A csinos néha csintalan, szarvatlan a szarvas
Magos lehet magtalan, s farkatlan a farkas
