A little bit of Hungarian

This post introduces you into my obsession of Hungarian Literature,Grammar and everything which is related to our language. 

One question:

-Why do we have to love and know our language well?

-This is the answer: it's one of the most unique and most beautiful language of the world even with its slangs and obscene expressions. The grammar is hard and also hard to study it (mainly for a foreigner) but it's totally worth it! 

We have more words for just one little thing,so we can express ourselves in so many ways. And these words have melody when you say them.

1st problem: Unfortunately, many people started to forget old words and expressions which were used by our grandparents.But they belong to our Hungarian identification,so we should hear,note then pass them on to the next generation.

2nd problem: It is inevitable to use slang. These words mainly come from English and we use them because ot their simplicity. In my opinion we should think before we say something. With these,our language will fade away and then disappear. I hope none of you wants this!

3rd problem: incorrect usage. Sometimes I correct people who doesn't say well these: -ba,-be,-ban,-ben (and the sad thing is that they hate me because of this ) :( . But it is a serious mistake. The right usage of these isn't this: Voltam Olaszba' or 'nem volt a boltba' kenyér . please... it sounds like crap,doesn't it?

Try to avoid these mistakes!

The next is : Literature

I am always impressed by Hungarian poems and can't stop reading them.These are just magical,don't you think? Almost all of them can make me think,cry or laugh.Our poets and writers can play with words in a very mystical way.

One of my favourite poets is József Attila. I think his spiritual world is amazing,you can lose yourself during reading his works.

Here is a little magical preview from him :

So this is my message for everyone who reads this : never stop to speak,read and study this beautiful language! It deserves to pronounce its words clearly and understandably and speak it at a high-level!And of course: read as many books as you can! 

Try to speak well! :)

And an important thought from Kölcsey Ferenc: 

Meleg szeretettel függj a hon nyelvén! mert haza, nemzet és nyelv, három egymástól válhatatlan dolog; s ki ez utolsóért nem buzog, a két elsőért áldozatokra kész lenni nehezen fog. Tiszteld s tanuld más mívelt népek nyelvét is, s főkép ama kettőt, melyen Plutarch a nemzetek két legnagyobbikának hőseit rajzolá s Tacitus a római zsarnok tetteit a történet évkönyveibe való színekkel nyomá be; de soha ne feledd, miképen idegen nyelveket tudni szép, a hazait pedig lehetségig mívelni kötelesség.
