Usage tips
Word family
The word 'Ungar' (Hungarian man) is directly connected to the country name 'Ungarn' (Hungary). The feminine form is 'die Ungarin' (Hungarian woman), and the corresponding adjective is 'ungarisch' (Hungarian).
EXAMPLE
Die ungarische Küche ist für ihr Gulasch bekannt.
Hungarian cuisine is known for its goulash.
Common mistake: N-declension
'Der Ungar' (the Hungarian man) belongs to the N-declension. This means it takes the ending '-n' in the accusative, dative, and genitive singular. A common mistake is forgetting this ending.
EXAMPLE
Ich habe gestern mit dem Ungarn gesprochen.
I spoke with the Hungarian man yesterday.
Use with adjectives
When you describe a Hungarian man with an adjective, the word is declined like an adjective. You then say, for example, 'ein Ungar' (a Hungarian man) but 'der Ungar' (the Hungarian man).
EXAMPLE
Ein Ungar hat das Turnier gewonnen.
A Hungarian won the tournament.
