Hungarian MemoTricks:"Beleüti az orrát"

"Sticking His Nose In" - Ever heard of this expression? Well, mastering it can really impress!

Hey there, I'm Sissi, and today we're delving into an intriguing Hungarian expression: "Beleüti az orrát", which signifies when someone intrudes into matters not concerning them, often used when someone is overly nosy. But let's explore how we can relate this to other languages!

Firstly, "beleüti" is derived from "beleütni" and in the third person singular present tense, it translates to "he/she horns in". The word "üt" means "hit", sharing a similar meaning and sound. This little parallel can aid in memorization!

Now, focusing on "orrát", "orr" translates to "nose", which sounds akin to the German "Ohr" and the English "ear", though they refer to the "ear". However, "orr" and "Ohr" or "ear" all refer to body parts. Imagine someone with a massive nose instead of ears. Just remember, the meaning differs with this MemoTrick!

How do we employ this expression?
Think about when you could say "Beleüti az orrát"? For instance, when a friend keeps prying into others' private affairs, or someone incessantly tries to meddle in your business.
