Szerdan általában negy óra körül tanítok, de néha kevésebb és néha több.


"négy óra körül" means "aproximately at 4 oclock"

You want to say something different, that you teach aproximately 4 hours. So: "körülbelül négy órát tanítok"

Accusative! kevesebbET többET

SZOKTAM
MÁS TANÁRRAL - adjective doesnt take ending when it is with a noun!

SZOKTAM is used with infinitive: SZOKTAM BESZÉLNI

Azért? Didnt you want to say "aztán"?

tanítAni

"egyszer is egy magyar filmet néztem" - wrong word order, should be: "egyszer egy magyar filmet is néztem"

Need to include an article here: "EGY tipikus szerdámról"

Általában fél kilenckor felkelek és először vécére megyek, majd fürdőszodába megyek azért mosom a magam vagy lezuhanyozok és a fogamat mosom, ezt csinálni után felöltözök és reggelizek.


it is "fürdőszoBA" not "fürdőszoda"

article needed: "A fürdőszobába megyek"

"mosom magam" is gramatically correct, but its very strange, normally it will be "mosakodom"

"azért" is not logically used - you go to the bathroom and "for that reason" you wash yourself? Which reason? It makes no sense. I suppose you wanted to say that you go to the bathroom and you wash yourself...


Czech grammar infiltrates my Hungarian sometimes and this is an example. I wanted to say 'I go to the bathroom TO have a wash'.

I see that you speak Russian, so maybe it's similar in cases like this. In Czech 'Šel jsem do koupelny, ABYCH se umyl.' Is the 'aby' form used in Russian?

Most már kezdődhetek írni ezt a magyar levélt.


kezdődik - is passive voice
you should use active voice? kezd

levél in Accusative is levelet

"Most már kezdhetem írni ezt a magyar levelet."

Ez előtt begombolom a számítógépemet, várok pedig remélem is hogy működik a számítógép, mert nagyon régi, azt hiszem hat éves van.


"Ez előtt" is gramatically correct, but makes no sense in this case, you should say "előbb" or "először is"

"begombolom" - :-)))
You can begombol your shirt or your pants, but not your computer. BEKAPCSOL is the correct word.


Again influenced by Czech, 'zapnout' has both meanings. I took a chance that it works the same way in Hungarian!
maxval wrote:


"pedig" is not necessary

"hat éves van" - no need for "van", this is 3rd person singular present tense

So: "Először is bekapcsolom a számítógépemet, várok és remélem, hogy működik a számítógép, mert nagyon régi, azt hiszem hat éves."

hribecek wrote:
Ha működik a számítógép, lehet írni ezt a levélt.


"lehet írni" is gramatically correct, but makes no sense here, you should say "meg tudom írni"

LEVELET

Amikor írok, igyekszek a szótáramat nem használni, de persze nagyon nehéz, mert nem tudom/ismerem a minden szót.


"de persze EZ nagyon nehéz"

"mert nem tudok/ismerek minden szót"

no need for article "A"
"ismerem" is incorrect, as no need for definite conjugation here, should be "ismerek"

hribecek wrote:
Így, nůha használom a szótáramat.


nÉha
You wrote here a Czech letter... :-)

This is due to the fact that I still don't know where the Í key is on a Hungarian keyboard (I must have a different type of keyboard to you because your advice about the key next to Escape didn't work) and so switch to a Czech one every time and in this case I forgot to switch it back. Oops!

I have never heard about HTLAL... but never mind... in cant be with "ban", only with "ben", as it is (HÁTÉELAEL) is a mixed word from the viewpoint of vowel harmony, so it will be used with high vowel suffix!

HTLAL is How-To-Learn-Any-Language.com! Lots of people use that abbreviation here.

"a táskámat az iskoláért készítem" - is gramatically correct, but sounds strange, it means that you prepare your bag for the sake of the school. In reality if your prepare your bag for the school, it will be "a táskámat az iskolához készítem"

A few small corrections for you, it's nice to be able to repay the favour.

1. Off course IKES conjugation is for INDEFINITE conjugation ONLY!

2. This process has begun since 300 years and continues until today.

3. In the case of the Imperative Mood there was never a form for 2nd Person neither.

4. gradually it becomes more and more out of use.

5. So this is the form that dies out in the present days.

6. I don't recommend to use archaic use for people trying to learn Hungarian!


1. Of course

2. This process began 300 years ago...

3. ...there was never a form for the 2nd Person EITHER. (never and neither can't be in the same clause because of the single negative rule)

4. gradually it is becoming...

5. so this is the form that is dying out in the present day.

6. I don't recommend using...

So none of these mistakes are big and the meaning is still clear in all of them without the corrections.

Very interesting by the way, I love that kind of stuff!

Try using Ctrl + Alt + j for í and Ctrl + Alt + i for Í. It is somewhat more difficult, but it works when you dont know where is the í/Í...

This is similar to the mistake on the previous page, again I used the Czech 'aby' form which I translated as 'azért'.

I wanted to say - She leaves/goes TO teach Spanish.



Many thanks again, the corrections are very helpful as usual.

I am not sure, but I think that this is the same as чтобы in Russian. It is used with Past Tense Indicative Mood. But in Hungarian there is no such thing. In Hungarian the same is expressed as hogy + Imperative Mood Present Tense.
