How to address teachers in Hungarian?

A map shows "teacher" for Hungary, which is tanár in Hungarian. 

Using the only the word tanár is, however, impolite. You should say the Hungarian equivalents of "Mr. teacher" or "Ms. teacher": 

  • tanár úr
  • tanárnő

Úr is Mister or Sir, while means "woman". Note that when we talk about professionals like above, úr is a separate word, but when we talk about ladies, we form compound words. This is a general rule and can be observed in other cases like,

  • igazgató úr vs. igazgatónő
  • doktor úr vs.doktornő

igazgató = director (of a company, an office, a school, but not that of a movie), doktor = MD
