Dirty Hungarian - by Mark Adamsbaum & Réka Lengyel (Paperback)

About the Book

No body speaks in strictly formal address anymore. Especially in the new Eastern Europe, where the common expressions tossed around in ultra trendy cities like Budapest are far from textbook Hungarian. This all-new, totally-up-to-date book fills the gap between how people really talk and what Hungarian language students are taught.

Book Synopsis

GET D!RTY!

Next time you're in Hungary or just chattin' in Hungarian with your friends, drop the textbook formality and bust out with expressions they never teach you in school, including:

- cool slang
- funny insults
- explicit sex terms
- raw swear words

Dirty Hungarian teaches the casual expressions heard every day on the streets of Hungary:

What's up?
Mi a helyzet?
Your boyfriend is hot shit.
Állat jó pasi a barátod.
Dude, I'm so wasted.
Öcsém, ugy betintáztam.
I gotta take a dump.
Mennem kell szarni.
Go fuck yourself!
Menj a halál faszára!
Can I get a blowey?
Lecidázol?
I'd love to hit that.
Szeretném megdöngölni.
