New English words I have learned today #1 (2017.07.31)
As I read and write the articles on Steemit, I have to use a translator (online translator/dictionary) to understand (and sometimes to remember) certain words because I am not a native English speaker. Today I decided to start writing a personal diary to document my own development.
This blog series is about the new words I have learned today.
I will write a blog post every day about this if am learning a new word.
I hope I can help improving my (and other people's) English usage and English learning progress by writing this diary.
Today's new English words for me:
| English word | Hungarian word(s) |
|---|---|
| Appraisal | Becsült/Értékelés/Felmérés |
| Deteriorates | Leromlik/Megromlik |
| Dilated | Kitágult/Megnyúlt |
| Moisture | Nedvesség/Páratartalom/Csapadék/Nyírkosság/Nedv |
| Rot | Korhadás/Rothadás |
| Spatula | Spatula/Szedőlapát |
| Lime | Lime/Mész |
| Gratifying | Kielégítő/Örömteli |
Notes:
- Some of the words can have other meanings depending on the context. Some of the words can have multiple meanings in English but one in Hungarian. For example the word "Lime" can mean the material and the fruit as well as the color in English but in Hungarian. we only use this word to the fruit. We also refer to the fruit by "savanyú citrom" or "zöldcitrom". We refer to the material by "Mész". We refer to the color by "zöld" which is "green" in English.
- As you can see some of the words can be the same in English and in Hungarian. (For example the word "Spatula".)
- Although I saw a "Spatula" before, I didn't know it's name. I never heard this word before. Not in English nor in Hungarian.
- We also refer to the "Spatula" by the word "Szedőlapát" which I think it's more common (idiomatic) in (the) Hungarian vulgar tongue (vernacular language) than the word "Spatula".
- The (English and the Hungarian) pronunciation is different in this case (Spatula) but in some cases (words) the pronunciation can also be the same in English and in Hungarian.
Thank you for reading!

Padahal komentarnya juga gak ada maksud apa-apa dan agak gakbermutu, oleh sebab itu saya mengomentari status andatidak panjang dan juga tidak lebar yang akan membuat anda marah dan kesal atas komentar saya ini… padahal saya bermaksud baik kepada anda agar andatidak merasa marah dan kesal atas komentar saya yang tidak panjang dan lebar ini… karna saya tahu anda pasti marah dan kesal dengan komentar yang sayaberikan ini, padahal saya hanya mengingatkan anda.. karna saya pernah mendengar kata-kata dari kakek saya yaitu “berbicara panjang dan lebar, membuat orang lain marah dan kesal” maka dari itu saya membuat komentar yang tidak panjang dan tentu tidak lebar seperti tetangga sebelah,.. dan saudara saya juga pernah mengatakan “berbicara panjang dan lebar itu tidak baik” maka dari itusaya mengingatkan anda kembali agar ketika anda berkomentar tidak panjang dan lebar yang berisi basa-basi yang gak bermutu… karna bisa membuat orang lain marah dan kesal pada anda dan mungkin anda akan dipringati oleh orang lain yang melihat komentar anda yang panjang dan juga lebar… mungkin komentar saya ini tidak panjang dan tidak lebar-lebar yang bisa menutupi bola bumi dan mungkin juga bisa untuk membuat jalur jalan TOL yang bisa dilewati oleh orang-orang dan terkadang bisa macet ditengah jalan yang akan membuat semua orang marah dan kesal, pasti andaakan merasa pusing dengankemacetan jalan TOL, terutama bagi pengendara mobil yang sering memasukijalan TOL.. karna sepeda motor hehee
Sorry, but I can't understand what are you trying to say.
(I only understand three words in you comment: "komentar", "mobil" and "motor".)
I don't even know what language are you speak.
I can only understand and speak English and Hungarian.
Please write in English or Hungarian. Thank you!
It's just a spam saying :D " I won't really comment that much" but as you can see it is probably more than 500 words saying the same damn thing. I don't even bother to check anyway. English is not my native language either or maybe it is, because I am not even sure about that :D I mean given I live in Asia, I don't speak the language fluently either.
Keep up the good work !, it'll be worth it oh and if you're confident enough with your English, why don't you try to be a translator ( Hungarian-English) maybe start off from fiverr?
Szia! En pont arra hajlok, hogy csak magyarul írjak... te mit gondolsz, érdemes közösséget építeni? Hogy könnyebb legyen?
Merre élsz?
Szia!
Ahogy észrevettem nem sok magyar van az oldalon, ennek ellenére érdemes lehet vele megpróbálkozni.
Én Magyarországon, az Észak-Alföldön élek egy kis faluban, Szolnoktól körülbelül 27-30 km-re.
Szép napot és sok sikert kívánok!
