Gentlemen,
I am very happy to use mailman. Especially to see that lately
the Hungarian support was introduced.
I have switched to Hungarian for the sake of some list members.
However, with this, I have two problems.
In Hungarian, we have two forms to address the other one.
The youth and the familiy members say "te" (thou) to each other,
with related forms in the sentences, while unknown people say Ön (you)
to each other. The former form is rather unpolite when addressing an
unknown,
not young person.
The Hungarian sentences are currently all in the first form. I have had
bad moments explaining
to list members why this is so... I would be happy to contribute in
formulating
each expression in the other way. We could even have two selectable
Hungarian options:
Hungarian (Te)
Hungarian (Ön)
Moreover, the present Hungarian sentences are partly wrong, or unfinished.
A series of corrections are necessary. Is there anybody who maintains
tese texts?
Best regards
István
