"Two" in Hungarian
We use two words for "two": kettő and két.
Although they both mean the same, there is a little difference between their uses.Let's see some examples.
(1)
- Q: Hány autó van az utcán? = How many cars are there in the street?
- A: Kettő. = Two.
You can see that kettő is alone here with no word following it. In the next sentence,however
(2)
- Két autó van az utcán. = There are two cars in the street.
Két is followed by a noun. In such cases, két is generally used.
While in case (1), két cannot be used, it is not uncommon to hear kettő in sentences like that in case (2).
