It’s a bit like -er. It can be used for objects, as well. Based on the word, it can end with ó or ő.
Vezet (drive, lead, etc) -> vezető (driver, leader).
Hűt (cool [verb]) -> hűtő (cooler, fridge).
Üt (hit) -> ütő ([sports] bat, [sports] paddle).
Olvas (read) -> olvasó (reader).
Úsz(ik) (swim) -> úszó (swimmer, fishing float).All these might also mean -ing (as in, the continuous participle, NOT the noun), depending on the context.
…which sounds surprising to me, because AFAIK Polish also has separate he/she words (on/ona).
Neither does Polish. I know at least one polaka who confuses the/a(n) 15% of the time.
While Massive Attack is a great band within their genre, I also absolutely misjudged them by the name.
You were so close. I just fold it back so that the end of the tape sticks to itself on the last 2mm. Next time you need it there will be an easy to find tab.
I wonder how it works in Finnish and Estonian - the two distant relatives to Hungarian. I can’t think of anything else within the language family.
Sounds like someone speaks the language here : ). No and no. Plural of tea: teák. The ‘is’ is still not needed, but the plural gets added to the adjective, too: a teák biszexuálisak.
For I, you (singular), we and you (plural) we actually use the appropriate form of is/be (but note that pronouns are not needed, unless you want to emphasise them). ‘Be’ gets inclined accordingly to the person/pronoun, therefore:
I am bisexual -> biszexuális vagyokYou (s) are bisexual -> biszexuális vagy
We are bisexual -> biszexuálisak vagyunk
You (p) are bisexual -> biszexuálisak vagytok
I can’t wait for the future recommended words by my keyboard app now.
Nope: ‘the tea is bisexual’ -> ‘a tea biszexuális’.
It’s fine either way 👌.
Weird stuff about Hungarian: we don’t use a form of ‘be’ when saying name+(is)+adjective. If you want to say ‘Jucika is modern’, in Hungarian you just say ‘Jucika modern’.
In this case (since they are written with different fonts) you can consider the two words as main title - subtitle, as the post title says.
They, however, also work as a full title, meaning ‘Jucika is courteous’.
fuck the meet industry
It all started going downhill with Zoom.
Thanks, I must be a titan then.
Meh. Do I regret some of my inactions? Hell, I do. Do I regret some of my awful moves/decisions 400% more? I fucking do. The amount of cringeworthy brain cramps I get for just thinking of them for a split second make me wish they were just another one of my regretful inactions, instead.

Around the selfish gene. The thing that guaranteed we survive and “emerge” became the guarantee our own combined greed and lack of empathy will be our undoing. You or I might be fine making sacrifices for the betterment of humanity; the ones who are the end result of aeons of racism, aggression, selfishness and hubris will make sure that their selfish genes get passed on, they gain wealth and power, and they ignore everyone else around, except maybe the closest friends and family. Even when they are actually burning up the planet in the process.
This is how it has worked since the dawn of humanity, even before that as animals. Most mammals ostracize their peers with albinism, leave behind or eat the weak, and the greediest fledgling will become the largest one.
We are past that. We don’t need this behaviour anymore. Survival isn’t an everyday challenge for the most of us. But similarly to leg hair, the tailbone or your ability to move your ears, they can’t just disappear as quickly as the environment, circumstances and society have changed around us. Little children are still mostly suspicious with strangers, or people who look different from what they are used to. Our built-in vestigial BIOS settings are also the reason those greedy, aggressive human fledglings are eating up everything from others, shitting the nest, and ruining the planet for everyone.
I think there isn’t a definite point where we’ve gone wrong. It’s been a looong process.
