I feel like I'm really lacking Hungarian slang.
Are there any very important slang words that are used very often by Hungarians? Maybe filler words like 'like' in English and common reaction words and mild swear words that I need to know? 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I'm really not at your level, but I hear a lot "hát", as a sort of filling word. Often at the beginning of a sentence.

Yes, this is a good example. Used only in spoken language. Practically it is the same as "well" in English, but in Hungarian is considered lower style. Edited by maxval on 13 December 2011 at 8:14pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Thanks for those, that's just what I wanted.
In Czech for example many people (mainly men) say 'ty vole', it can be used in so many ways, to be really rude, to be a filler in slang sentences, to react in surprise and more. I'm sure many foreigners learning Czech outside of the Czech Republic (like me with Hungarian) would never learn it from their books, so are there any words of phrases like that in Hungarian? English words I'd like to be translated if possible - oh shit! (when you do something bad unintentionally) That's awesome (American)/wicked!/brilliant!/great! (British) (when you think something is really good) You idiot! (when your friend does something wrong and you mean it in a making fun, friendly kind of way) I just mean words that a foreigner can't really survive in Hungarian without at least understanding.

Are all these used just as fillers without meaning when thrown into the sentence? I know some of them have real meanings too. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

- Na, mi a helyzet ?
- Na, mi van ? - Mizujs ? Mizu - Mond / Mondjad - Figyelj... / Figyelj csak... / Figyuzz.../ Figyi... - Legyen szíves / Légy szíves / Légyszí / lécci - Nézd.... - Az a helyzet, hogy... - ..., Ugye ? I have others, some I learned unintentionally :). - b*ssza meg / b*szd meg / b*zdmeg (from weak to worse actually). I think it's one of the most used swear word in Hungarian (but they have so many !), it says f*ck, f*ck this/ that/ you. I don't know if it's useful and okay to put here, but anyway... - k*rva (for example k*rva jó). Thinks this is widely used in Czech. It is in Croatian :). I think this word is international in these countries. On a lighter register - király - tökjó - csucs (maybe a bit outdated) and some I particulary like, but don't know where this comes from Isten Isten ! = Egészségedre ! I have others too, but I think this will suffice. And I don't know how to say "idiot", or something like "merde" in Hungarian. In French I have the (bad) tendance (as I'm a woman) to swear "unnicely". Kisfröccs 2 persons have voted this message useful |
