सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
The 'Antikvárium' is a cultural institution in Hungary. Unlike simple second-hand stores, they often employ experts who can appraise 'régi könyvek' from the 15th century. Many 'régi könyvek' in Hungarian were printed in Transylvania during the Reformation, which was a golden age for Hungarian-language publishing. In Hungarian universities, 'Régi Magyarországi Nyomtatványok' (RMNY) is a famous multi-volume bibliography of old Hungarian prints. Old family Bibles ('régi családi Biblia') were often used to record births and deaths in Hungarian villages before official state records existed.
The 'é' vs 'e' distinction
Make sure to pronounce the 'é' in 'régi' long. If you say 'regi', it's not a word.
No 'idős' for books!
This is the #1 mistake. Always use 'régi' for inanimate objects.
