Intermediate Hungarian: what does this sign say?

May 4, 2017 By Let's Learn Hungarian!

I found this sign in a restaurant in Budapest. What do you think it says? Test yourself below, then see underneath for the answer!

Also, is this in familiar or formal Hungarian?

Köszönjük, hogy visszahoztad a tálcád.
Köszönjük, hogy visszahoztad a tálcád.

Maybe this picture of the sign in a larger context will help you figure it out!

Restaurant tray holder

Answer: Thank you for returning your tray.
(in familiar Hungarian)


 

Let’s break this down word-by-word!

Köszönjük, hogy – thank you for (1st p. plural, definite conjugation, literally “we thank you for”)

visszahoztad – you returned (2nd p. singular past, familiar form, definite conjugation)

verb stem: visszahoz – return something, bring something back

a tálcád – your tray (familiar form)

noun stem: tálca – tray

Köszönjük, hogy visszahoztad a tálcád. = Thank you for returning your tray.
