Expressing dislike for something.
خلفية ثقافية
Hungarians often use 'nem tetszik' as a starting point for a debate. It's not seen as a conversation ender, but an invitation to discuss tastes. In some rural areas, 'nem tetszik' can be used even more broadly to mean 'it doesn't suit the occasion' or 'it's not proper'. The slang 'nem jön be' is almost more common than 'nem tetszik' among people under 30, especially regarding music and fashion. In Hungarian business, 'nem tetszik' is often softened to 'nem tartom szerencsésnek' (I don't consider it fortunate) to avoid appearing too aggressive.
The 'Sajnos' Sandwich
If you want to be polite, always put 'Sajnos' (unfortunately) before 'nem tetszik'. It makes you sound like a cultured speaker rather than a grumpy one.
Plural Trap
If you are talking about 'them' (plural), you MUST add '-enek'. 'Nem tetszik a cipő' (one shoe) vs 'Nem tetszenek a cipők' (the shoes).

4 أسئلةYes, but it refers to their physical appearance or their 'vibe'. It's like saying 'He's not my type'.
'Nem tetszik' is for how something looks or the general idea. 'Nem ízlik' is only for the flavor of food/drink.
Not inherently. Hungarians are direct. However, adding 'nekem' (to me) makes it sound more like a personal opinion and less like a universal fact, which is more polite.
Use the past tense: 'Nem tetszett'.
