معنی
Asking for someone's name informally.
زمینه فرهنگی
Hungarians are generally reserved but warm up quickly. Asking a name is the first step to building a 'te' relationship. In many Central European cultures, the 'te/ön' distinction is vital. Using the wrong form can cause immediate social friction. Young Hungarians often skip the formal 'ön' entirely, making 'Hogy hívnak?' the default for almost everyone under 30. In modern tech startups in Budapest, the informal 'Hogy hívnak?' is becoming more common, even among colleagues.
Smile!
Hungarian is a friendly language. A smile makes 'Hogy hívnak?' sound much more natural.
Watch the register
Don't use this with your boss unless they explicitly say it's okay.
