This was my part of an elaborate reply to :iconaw08:'s poll, and an amusing sequel to my last journal on grammar.

In Hungarian, letters are pronounced the same way all the time:

a = ah (as in British pronounciation of "can't")
á = aah (as in German "acht")
b = buh (as in "bear")
c = c (as in "tits")
cs = tsh (as in "Chester", doubled as "ccs")
d = d (as in "duck")
dz = dz (similarly as in "ads", doubled as "ddz")
dzs = j (as in "jacket", doubled as "ddzs")
e = eh (as in "elephant")
é = a (as in "lace")
f = f (as in "fog")
g = guh (as in "get")
gy = gy or dy (as in "Gehenna", doubled as "ggy")
h = h (as in "hell")
i = ih (as in "intelligence")
í = eeh (as in "sweet")
j = y (as in "year")
k = k (as in "keen")
l = l (as in "low")
ly = y (same as with "j", but for certain specific words that used to be pronounced with an "l", doulbed as "lly")
m = m (as in "meat")
n = n (as in "North")
ny = ny (as in "Nyan-Cat", doubled as "nny")
o = o (as in "stork")
ó = oh (as in "stow")
ö = uh (as in "work")
ő = öö (as in "wooork")
p = p (as in "park")
r = ~tt (as in "Russia" with a Slavic accent)
s = sh (as in "shop")
sz = s (as in "sit", doubled as "ssz")
t = t (as in "towel")
ty = ty (as in "Tuesday", doubled as "tty")
u = u (as in "wood", shortly)
ú = oo (as in "mood")
ü = ue (as in Japanese "desu", shortly)
ű = uue (as in Japanese "Yuuka")
v = v (as in "vigilant")
x = ks (as in "xylophone")
z = z (as in  "zebra")
zs = zsh (as in French "Jacques", doubled as "zzs")

Exceptions are when consonants in affixes get naturally joined into compound consonants in speaking, or shifting between voiced and unvoiced consonants due to vowels. One of our longest words is a good example:

megszentségteleníthetetlenségeskedéseitekért

"me-K-szen-CCS-é-K-teleníthetetlenségeskedéseitekért"

If you wonder what this long word translates to, it's: "for your undeconsecribiliticisms"

But let's break it down, shall we?

"meg-" means "con-" or "with", also used in our language for mathematical addition, the "applicative" quality of an action, such as in case of "solving", where the act of solving is "applied" on the problem, in a similar fashion as "piss" has a different meanings when joined with "off", "over" or "into"

"szent" means "holy"

"-ség" means "-ness", makes a noun out of an adjective

"-telen" means "-less", also makes a noun into an adjective

"-ít" means "-ate", "to make possess [quality]", creates a verb out of an adjective

"-het" means "-able", expresses potential for acquiring a condition

"-etlen" is a variant of "-telen" ("-less"), for the sake of fluent pronounciation

"-ség" means "-ness", as before

"-es" means "-y", like "sticky", "shady", "stormy" or "-ic", such as "cubic", "pragmatic"

"-ked(ik)" means "imitate", acting the same way in a caricaturistic or playful fashion

"-és" means "-ing", when it makes a noun out of a verb, such as in "the phrasing of a word"

"-eitek" means "yours", in a plural form, but actually it's a compound of "-e", a possessive affix, "-i", a plural affix for the noun and "-tek", an affix for assigning the noun to the plural second person

"-ért" means "for [someone or something]"

szent = HOLY
szentSÉG = holiNESS
szenségTELEN = UNholiness
szentségtelenÍT = unholiFY → DESECRATE
MEGszentségtelenít = deCONsecrate
megszentségtelenítHET = CAN deconsecrate
megszentségteleníthetETLEN = UNdeconsecrIBLE
megszentségteleníthetetlenSÉG = undeconsecribilITY
megszentségteleníthetetlenségES = undeconsecribilitIC
megszentségteleníthetetlenségesKEDIK = undeconsecribiliticIZE
megszentségteleníthetetlenségeskedÉS = undeconsecribiliticISM
megszentségteleníthetetlenségeskedésEITEK = YOUR undeconsecribiliticismS
megszentségteleníthetetlenségeskedéseitekÉRT = FOR your undeconsecribiliticisms

The more I learn the more I realize there is still to know.
That's why in my explorations I like to start out with the attitude that I do not already know everything there is to know on the thing I seek to know more about... so that there is room to take in and take on the new things.
:iconexploding-headplz: <- most of the time in real life this does not happen to people from too much information, I believe the fellow in Scanners had somewhat of an oversensitivity to it. :giggle:
