köszönöm szépen! This clarifies it more than what I had originally read, though I can already see there are exceptions, like so many rules in languages: Mikor jössz? I think it's only with a lot of practice and exposure to different questions spoken by native speakers and/or corrected by them that I will get the hang of it!

You're welcome. I wasn't very sure about this, so I also had to do a little research, because the fact that Hungarian is my native language doesn't make me a linguist to observe it with a scientific approach. I managed to come upon the following website: http://www2.ku.edu/~magyar/courses/103/unit1/introducing.shtml It states that "In yes or no questions your intonation will suddenly rise on the one before the last syllable, then drops on the last syllable". I guess this is what you mentioned. On the other hand, "In questions with a question word your intonation starts high and then is gradually falling till the end of the sentence." So it seems that this is the case we're talking about. As for the notebook language issue, when writing an entry, scroll down the page and click on "This notebook entry is written in:" to choose Hungarian from the list.

Thank you for detailed response! I will continue working on the stress. Is the recording you made the regular pattern for asking questions? I put the stress on évES because I read that in questions, the stress is on the second to last syllable, is this inaccurate? You seem to put the rising stress on the first syllable of the sentence. And thanks for the detail about the notebook language, I didn't know how it worked. :-)

Perhaps an own sound recording clarifies it more: http://vocaroo.com/i/s1QByhL99DfI

It sounds good. If I may point out to one possible mistake, you put the stress on the second syllable in "éves". Stress is always on the first syllable of every Hungarian word. The intonation of a question rises and then at the end falls in Hungarian. If I could hear it right, you used a rising intonation in the word "vagy". An other tip: listen to the difference between "éves" (years old) and "evés" (eating) using the following website: http://hu.forvo.com/search-hu/%C3%A9ves/ PS.: You submitted this comment in the English notebook entries. It means that no Hungarians will be able to see it, only those who follow you. I hope my comment was useful. Have a good time learning Hungarian!
