Hungarian language, verb ‘to speak’

by Don  

Here we have the conjugation of the verb 'to speak' in the present tense indefinite. ‘Indefinite’ means that either it does not have a direct object or that the direct object is indefinite (a/an/some).

For the purposes of my visit to Budapest, I'm learning two words for ‘you’: te, which is the equivalent of Spanish tú, and ön, the equivalent of usted. Just as in Spanish, the latter uses a second-person singular verb, and the former a third-person singular verb, and just as in Spanish subject pronouns are usually left out. E.g.:

Beszélsz angolul?Do you (familiar) speak English?
Beszél angolul?Do you (formal) speak English?
