Flirting

1. Nagyon vonzónak találom

   I find you very attractive

   Usage

   A polite way to express attraction to someone

   Grammar Note

   "Találom" is 1st person singular definite of "talál" (to find). "Vonzónak" is dative of "vonzó"

2. Eljönnél velem vacsorázni?

   Would you like to have dinner with me?

   Usage

   Classic phrase for asking someone on a dinner date

   Grammar Note

   "Eljönnél" is conditional 2nd person singular of "jön" (to come). "Velem" = with me (comitative)

3. Nagyon szép a mosolyod

   Your smile is very beautiful

   Usage

   Natural compliment about someone's smile

   Grammar Note

   "Mosolyod" = "mosoly" (smile) + 2nd person singular possessive suffix "-od"

4. Megismerhetlek?

   May I get to know you?

   Usage

   Polite way to start a conversation with someone you're interested in

   Grammar Note

   "Meg-ismer-het-lek" = get to know + can + I→you (object). One word packs the entire meaning

5. Nagyon jól érzem magam melletted

   I feel really good when I'm with you

   Usage

   Expressing how comfortable and happy you feel around someone

   Grammar Note

   "Magam" is the reflexive "myself". "Melletted" = beside + 2nd person singular possessive

6. Táncolnál velem?

   Would you dance with me?

   Usage

   Asking someone to dance at a party or event

   Grammar Note

   "Táncolnál" is conditional 2nd person singular of "táncol" (to dance). Conditional = polite request

7. Add meg a számodat

   Give me your number

   Usage

   Casual way to ask for someone's phone number

   Grammar Note

   Hungarian verbs conjugate differently for definite and indefinite objects. "Számodat" carries a possessive suffix and is therefore definite, so the imperative of "ad" must be the definite "add" (the indefinite form is "adj"). "Számodat" = "szám" (number) + 2nd person possessive + accusative.

8. Rád gondolok

   I'm thinking of you

   Usage

   Expressing that you are thinking about someone romantically

   Grammar Note

   "Rád" is sublative of "te" (you). Hungarian uses the sublative to express "thinking about" someone

9. Szeretnélek jobban megismerni

   I would like to get to know you better

   Usage

   Showing genuine interest in getting to know someone better

   Grammar Note

   "Szeretnélek" = conditional 1st→2nd person definite of "szeret". Encodes subject and object

10. Beleszerettem

    I fell in love with you

    Usage

    Confessing falling in love with someone

    Grammar Note

    "Bele-szeret-tem" = into + love + past 1st person. "Beleszeret" is the idiom for "falling in love"
