Signification
Asking for the location of a store.
Contexte culturel
Small shops often have a sign saying 'Csemege' or 'Élelmiszer'. These are all 'boltok'. The term 'Közért' is still widely used by older residents to refer to any grocery store. In villages, the shop is often closed for a long lunch break or closes very early (e.g., 4 PM). Non-stop shops (éjjel-nappali) are common in cities and are often the only 'bolt' open late.
Use 'Elnézést'
Always start with 'Elnézést' to sound polite to strangers.
Check the time
If you ask this on a Sunday evening, the answer might be 'Minden zárva van' (Everything is closed).
