Answer:
“STUDENT CREDIT – Help in acquiring knowledge”
Apparently this is advertising loans that students can take out for their education.
Explanation:
The first part is easy:
- diák = student
- hitel = credit
The second part isn’t too hard either. Here’s the word-by-word breakdown:
- segítség = help
- a = the (left out in the English)
- tudás = knowledge
- megszerzés = acquisition, acquiring
The last part is an example of the Hungarian possessive case:
a tudás megszerzése = acquiring knowledge, the acquisition of knowledge
Finally, we add the ending -hez to megszerzése to reflect the English preposition “in”:
a tudás megszerzéséhez = in acquiring knowledge
“DIÁKHITEL – Segítség a tudás megszerzéséhez” = “STUDENT CREDIT – Help in acquiring knowledge”
