Word order basics
Where the verb usually goes, and what changes it.
Typical pattern
Hungarian word order is strongly shaped by topic–focus (what you emphasize).
How to practice
Use short sentences first. If you’re unsure, copy a native-like pattern from the Speaking tab and swap one word at a time.
- Start with 3-word sentences (I / want / water).
- Record yourself, then slow down TTS and compare rhythm.
- Keep a notebook of 5 sentence patterns you can reuse.
