معنی
Ordering coffee in a café.
زمینه فرهنگی
In Budapest, cafés are historically places of work and social gathering. Ordering 'egy kávé' often entitles you to sit for hours. Coffee is almost always served with a small glass of tap water. It is not an extra charge; it is part of the service. When paying for your coffee, it is common to round up the bill or leave about 10% if a service charge isn't included. In Hungary, 'kávé' by default means a strong, short espresso. If you want a large watery coffee, you must ask for 'hosszú kávé'.
The 'T' Rule
Always remember the -t. If you forget it, people will still understand you, but it's the hallmark of a beginner mistake.
Be Specific
Instead of just 'kávét', try 'eszpresszót' or 'cappuccinót' to sound more like a local.
