Tips for foreigners There is one basic rule in the Hungarian language which doesn´t need to apply in other languages and cultures. You proceed from the most important thing to the less one. It may sound logical but this is the exact opposite from other languages. What you have to do is simply say, what you want to emphasize, at the beginning of the sentence. For example if you want to write the date you should follow this structure: year, month and finally day. You also write your surname first and your given name follows.
