Pronunciation & how to use these phrases
Latin alphabet; á é í ó ö ő ú ü ű are distinct letters. Long vowels matter. Device speech, when available, is only a model for that installed voice; historical and unsupported varieties have no automatic voice here.
Published: a first rule with a worked example and answer, introductory vocabulary, and basic expressions. Next: sound contrasts → inflection and sentence patterns → connected reading/listening → independent use. Szia is familiar singular; jó napot is useful with an unfamiliar adult. Formal address also affects verb forms.

Vowel harmony, case suffixes and definite versus indefinite conjugation.
The inessive ending -ban/-ben means in. Back-vowel stems commonly take -ban; front-vowel stems take -ben. Mixed stems and transparent vowels require dictionary checking; this is not a rule about the final written letter.
ház → házban; kert → kertbenhouse → in a house; garden → in a garden
Explain why the answer follows the rule. Then return to the example and identify the unchanged part. This first unit is published; the full grammar sequence remains in development.
