More False Friends

False friend of the week: csok (pronounced
like choke). It means kiss... oh, well. Also fog
(unfortunately, not pronounced like English) means
tooth.

Our Hungarian is fairly good for two weeks of class,
but we still only speak in the present tense and it
takes us so long to form sentences that people
sometimes get impatient with us... my new favorite
sentence that I constructed: Én kilépek a lakásból és
az Országházhoz setálok. It means, "I step out of the
flat and walk to the Parliament." Not much, but it is
progress.
