Beginning Hungarian – what does this sign say?

April 26, 2016 By Let's Learn Hungarian!

I found this sign on the wall of a building in Budapest. What could it mean?

Take your best guess under the picture by taking the poll, then look underneath that for the answer!

sign in Hungarian
Jegyek itt kaphatók
What does the sign say?

Answer:  “Tickets available here.”

This sentence is only three words, so it should not have been too hard to understand!

Jegy means “ticket,” but since this is plural, jegyek = tickets.

Kapható means “available,” but since jegyek is in the plural, we also have to put kapható in the plural! So it becomes kaphatók.

jegyek = tickets

itt = here

kaphatók = available (in the plural)

Jegyek itt kaphatók = “Tickets available here.”
