Kultureller Hintergrund
In Hungary, the surname comes first in the address and the signature (e.g., Kovács János). This applies to all letters. Formal letters often use the 'Ön' or 'Maga' forms of address, which require third-person singular conjugations. The date format is strictly YYYY. MM. DD. and is usually placed at the top right or bottom left of a letter. Handwritten letters are still highly valued for birthdays and name days (Névnap), a tradition as important as birthdays.
Vowel Harmony
Always check if your noun is front-vowel or back-vowel before adding the object marker.
Stem Change
Don't forget that 'levél' becomes 'levelet'. The 'é' turns into 'e'.
