💡

When in doubt, be formal

If you aren't sure if you should use 'Szia' or 'Jó napot', go with 'Jó napot'. It's never rude to be polite.

Review Summary

  • Szia / Jó napot
  • Verb + kérem / legyen szíves
  • Word + -e
  • Igen / Nem

자주 하는 실수

You don't need the definite article 'a' when asking generally about existence.

Wrong: Van-e a kávé?
정답: Van-e kávé?

Mixing informal and formal greetings is confusing. Use one or the other.

Wrong: Szia napot
정답: Jó napot

Polite particles like 'kérem' are requests, not questions, so they don't take the '-e' suffix.

Wrong: Kérem-e?
정답: Kérem.
