Kérdés Dirty talk
Hi guys, I’m a Hungarian who’s lived in England for a while now. I’m wondering how dirty talk sounds in Hungarian? I can think of a few things to say but they all sound very very vulgar to me? Specifically the phrase ‘I wanna fuck you so bad’ sounds just straight up like a douchebag thing to say if I say it like ‘annyira meg akarlak baszni’. Is there a more nice way to say it, or am I just misjudging the phrase because I don’t hear it said in Hungarian enough. I’m not sure if people understand what I’m trying to say, basically to me ‘I wanna fuck you so bad’ can sound sexy/romantic in English, but in Hungarian it sounds way too aggressive. Might be just me though.
Edit: Sorry, since when have people become illiterate? The first thing I mention in my post is how I’m Hungarian, insinuating that I have a good understanding of the culture and language. Why are people twisting my words to make it seem like I’d go up to some stranger and say I wanna fuck them? Where did that come from? Please have some common sense and stop projecting. It doesn’t take an Einstein to know that in any language, that isn’t appropriate. This is obviously with a partner, and to assume otherwise speaks more about you to be honest.

Idk why but dirty talk in Hungarian sounds so weird for me as a Hungarian.

So I guess It's common among central-eastern European languages, because personally to me as a Pole dirty talk in Polish sounds weird and cringe lmao

Thank you! I thought it was just me. I think it’s also got to do with how we don’t hear it in media as much compared to English

Holy fuck i thought I was the only one as well. Almost any sexual thing said in Hungarian is ultra cringe, while in English it sounds smooth. I think this is no joke partly why dating is so aids here.

Talking about anything sexual or other related topics in my main language (Hungarian) just feels awkward enough that I just cannot get myself to do it.
Somehow, it feels way more comfortable to have these conversations in English, possibly because the closest people in family/the friend circle have far less likelyhood to come across it if written, or will not associate you with that information as clearly when heard.

Perhaps it’s to do with culture or values? I’m not sure but for me personally, the only people who speak Hungarian around me are my family, and everyone else is English. Because I’m more likely to speak about vulgar things with my friends instead of family, maybe it being in English has made me more comfortable to hearing vulgar words in English rather than Hungarian, because I associate that with my family.
I think it’s also got to do with cultural differences of the two countries. I feel that Hungary in general is more conservative in those aspects

Depends on Your skills and your partner's. You can def tell a shitton of fucked up stuff to your partner (partners?) to tease her. If she is 1. Native 2. Into that

So you’re telling me that the average Hungarian person thinks that ‘Meg akarlak baszni’ is a sexy or even normal thing to say?
Edit: I think people are misinterpreting what I mean by ‘normal thing to say’. I obviously don’t mean it’s a normal phrase to use in everyday talk with strangers, I mean with a partner it’s not too aggressive sounding (relating to my original post).

That's rather creepy.

This person didn’t say anything useful. Obviously a partner who loves sexy talk would love anything that’s being said. Obviously if she speaks the language she’s going to understand it. I’m asking if in Hungary in general dirty talk is as common as in the western world, and examples of it. Nothing creepy here, just curiosity.

I mean saying that to someone is creepy and I can't imagine any woman really wanting to hear that. This is rather a sentence from some drunken street fight and not from a bed scene.

Some people are into that. Whilst I’ve never said or had it said to me,I feel that generally in English it isn’t that creepy when your partner says it. I’m obviously not talking about some drunk stranger in a bar telling you this. No one does dirty talk with a stranger, and even when they do with a partner, they would do it with one that enjoys that kind of talk. Why are u nitpicking this post? My question wasn’t whether it’s creepy in English, but whether dirty talk exists in Hungarian in a way that isn’t so aggressive and weird sounding, like in English. This isn’t for personal gain, I’m not going to ever use these examples. It’s a question about the language and culture.

It's not creepy in English, it just require the right situation. I am exactly trying to say that I don't think it exists in Hungarian, because it becomes creepy.

I think I understand what you’re trying to say now, that the phrase is too aggressive right? I feel the same way, are there alternatives to it?

I have no idea tbh, for me even in porn movies sounded cringe.

Fair enough, I’ve never watched anything like that in Hungarian so I wouldn’t know

That phrase can be used to your sexual partner. If you say to a stranger, it is very bad.

I’m actually Hungarian, but I’ve only had sex with foreigners, so I can relate.
I think most people would say “megdug” instead of “megbasz” to sound less aggressive. I guess you could also say “nagyon kívánlak” or something like that to say you want someone, and it can sound sexy without sounding cringey.

u/NauticaChan 7d ago
Interesting, to me ‘megdug’ actually sounds quite funny and unserious. I think you’re right with the ‘nagyon kívánlak’, it sounds more sexy and genuine!

Kibaszottul kívánlak? Someone said this to me once and I think this was the sexiest dirty talk I’ve ever heard.

Hungarian dirty talk uses a lot of euphemisms and rarely use the word fuck.
