Szervusz, Kamm!
Gyakran jársz ezen a fórumon?
I did not mean to suggest a closeness of kinship for Hungarian with either Finnish or Turkish, only that since both of those language are agglutinative and have vowel harmony, their speakers find the language easier to learn. To more than a few English speakers the idea that "in a house", "to a house", "with a house" should be all expressed by single words whose endings simply differ is not a straightforward concept to digest.
Do you know any good places to find Hungarian electronic books (whether for purchase or gratis), other than for the obvious (MEK)?
