Suwałki Joshuanák hívnak. Suwałki származom. én szeret Suwałki. Suwałki jól van és az emberek vannak szép. I'm Joshua and I'm from Suwałki. Suwałki is cool and the people are nice :) As you can see, my Hyngarian isn't really good, so at the moment that's everything I can write :D Could you explain the difference between: * által, felett and keresztül? It's all "przez" in Polish * the suffixes -ban, -nál and the word bele? It's all "w" in Polish * the suffixes -tól and -val? It's "z" * képes, lehet, tudott? - "móc" * csak, jogos? - "tylko"

Could you explain the difference between:
* által, felett and keresztül? It's all "przez" in Polish

- you use által when you say for example: Az által, hogy tanultam megértettem amit mondott. (By studying I understood what he said.) Meaning that the studying was a tool to achieve the result. 

által means roughly by, through

 

- you use felett when something is over another thing. Az asztal felett van a lámpa. (Above the table is the lamp.)

felett means over, above

 

- you use keresztül when you go through something. El se tudom hinni, min ment keresztül. (I can't believe what he went through.) It could also be in the literal sense meaning going through a crosswalk or a door.

keresztül means through

 

* the suffixes -ban, -nál and the word bele? It's all "w" in Polish

- -ban/-ben means in something. A kosárban alma van. (Inside the basket are apples.) 

 

- -nál/-nél means by. A kutyánál van a csont. (The bone is by the dog.)

 

- bele means into. Bele raktam a könyvet a táskába. (I put the book into the bag.)


* the suffixes -tól and -val? It's "z"

- -tól/-től means from. A szomszéd házától jöttem. (I came from the neighboor's house.)

 

- -val/-vel means with. Ollóval vágtam el a papírt. (I cut the paper with scissors.) It also should be mentioned that when these suffixes are used with a word that ends on a consonant the -val/-vel 'v' blends with the consonant like for example: A barátommal mentem el a moziba. (I went to the movies with my friend.) 

 

* képes, lehet, tudott? - "móc"

 

képes means capable. Képes volt arra, hogy átmenjen a vizsgáin. (He was capable of passing his exams.) 

 

lehet means may. Lehet, hogy eljön velünk. (He may come with us.)

 

tudott is the singular 3 person form in the past tense of the word tud which means can. Mindent meg tudott csinálni, amit akart. (He could do everything that he wanted.)


* csak, jogos? - "tylko"

csak means only, just. Csak egy polót veszek. (I'm just/only going to buy one shirt.)

 

jogos means legitimate, rightful. Ő volt a jogos tulajdonos. (He was the rightful owner.) A követelései jogosak voltak. (His demands were legitimate.) Or it could also mean something along the lines of you're right with what you're saying. Jogos, amit mondasz. (You're right about what you're saying.)

 

I hope these were somewhat clear to you. If you have more questions feel free to ask them. :)
