I've been on a Hungarian music kick lately, listening more to hits from the 30s to the 50s, and so naturally I had to learn some. I dusted off a book I'd picked up on Hungarian for Finnish language learners, thinking that the Uralic connection might mean that things were organized in a way I can learn more efficiently. It seems to be true so far, and I'm finding some interesting things about Hungarian syntax, particularly the verbal prefixes which are discussed here. All following examples are taken from Unkarin kielioppi (Csepregi, 1991). Note that in the following glosses, only definiteness is marked in verb conjugations, otherwise assume that verbs not marked with +Def are indefinite.
