Politeness & formality (sound respectful fast)
Formality is one of the fastest ways to sound natural in many languages.
What matters most
Formal address exists; you’ll often use polite phrases rather than special pronouns.
- When in doubt, choose the more polite form.
- Memorize one polite question pattern and reuse it everywhere.
Beszél Ön angolul?
Do you speak English? (formal)
Nem értem.
I don't understand.
Beszélsz angolul?
Do you speak English? (informal)
