Here is the last part of the lesson about Finnish-Hungarian grammatical relationship. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

1. We use suffixes instead of prepositions to express adverbial circumstances in Hungarian. It works as same as in the other languages of phylum 'finnugor'.

2. More interesting part of the evidences [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]. Most important Hungarian words has finnugor origin (about 1200 words). We've translated some words to Finnish with Elenglin and discovered similarity, many times in pronunciation only but in some cases there is analogy in writing as well.

én = minä (me)
mi = me (we)
három = kolme (three)
száj = suu (mouth)
szív = sydan (heart)
vér = veri (blood)
hall = kuulla (to hear)
anya = äiti (mother)
atya = isä (father)
nő = noinen (woman)
víz = vesi (water)
tavasz = kevat (spring)
ősz = syksi (automn)
tél = talvi (winter)
fa = puu (tree)
méh = mehiläinen (bee)
puszi = pussata (kiss)
név = nimi (name)

Thanks for your attention! [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]
Where are you, Elenglin?
