When I was in Budapest on a school trip in 2002, I remember being so relieved upon realizing that our tram stop was pretty much pronounced the way it was written: Nepliget
EDIT: Now that I think about it, maybe the T was silent? It feels like a lifetime ago, so I don't remember.
Loved the city and the street food, by the way. Sausages were a dirt cheap and delicious snack when just loafing around the city.
Yeah Népliget lol. The t isnt silent. Hungarian doesnt really have silent letters but some letter combinations have rules for easier pronounciation like adta is pronounced atta usually. Sometimes the n on the end of a word is left off in speech but in places where this is common they sometimes even call this a dialect and write it that way because if you dont hear it you wont write it down.
Good ol' Knee-Ply-Get.
