Hunglish
|
|
Hunglish is a portmanteau word combining the words Hungarian and English. The phrase refers to: *specific mistakes often committed by native Hungarian speakers while speaking English. *mistakes in Hungarian because of the influence of the English language. *a hybrid of Hungarian and English used within couples where one is a Hungarian speaker and the other an English speaker. *Hungarian words or phrases being used in English language (and vice versa) either to substitute for a non-existent word or to achieve a certain effect in meaning. This practice is very common among students of bilingual high schools in Hungary (e.g. "Ne complainingelj!"). The words may or may not be subject to conjugation. |
