"Our interpreter was wonderful; she assisted with calling multiple Hungarian-speaking patients. She was so kind and made sure our patient understood and were able to communicate back."

"Marcia was absolutely wonderful and professional. Not only did she help the patient, she helped me understand the order of the patients name to correct it in the system. Probably one of the best interpreters I’ve ever had!"

Hungarian, or Magyar, is a Uralic language spoken by over 13 million people, primarily in Hungary, with significant communities in Romania, Slovakia, Serbia, and the Hungarian diaspora worldwide. Unlike most European languages, Hungarian is not Indo-European but is related to Finnish and Estonian. It has a complex grammar system with 18 cases, vowel harmony, and a unique word order, making it one of the more challenging languages for non-native speakers to learn.

With formal vs. informal speech distinctions, idiomatic expressions, and intricate sentence structures, effective communication in Hungarian requires more than direct translation. Whether for business, healthcare, legal matters, or travel, Jeenie’s professional Hungarian interpreters provide accurate and culturally sensitive language support, ensuring smooth and professional interactions in any setting.

Hungarian culture is shaped by a rich history, deep-rooted traditions, and a strong sense of national identity. The country is famous for its folk music, thermal baths, and contributions to art, science, and literature, with figures like Franz Liszt, Ernő Rubik, and Sándor Petőfi leaving a global impact. Traditional Hungarian cuisine, featuring goulash, paprika-rich dishes, and chimney cakes (kürtőskalács), plays a central role in social and family gatherings.

Hungarians value direct communication, politeness, and respect for traditions, especially in formal settings. Greetings often include a firm handshake, and addressing people with their titles is a sign of respect. Understanding Hungarian customs, etiquette, and social norms can help strengthen relationships in both personal and professional interactions. With Jeenie’s expert Hungarian interpreters, you get more than just translation—you get cultural expertise, ensuring effective and meaningful communication in any situation.

How much does Hungarian interpreting cost?

Across the industry, Hungarian interpreting is typically charged on a per minute rate. With Jeenie, our rates are some of the best in the industry. Your per minute rate will depend on which Jeenie plan you have. See our Pricing page for more details.

Note: Jeenie offers the same rate for Video and Audio-only. Why?
Because we know that video sessions get better outcomes. Video captures non-verbal cues (75% – 93% of most interactions) – making it more efficient and more effective in critical interactions.

Are Hungarian translators and Hungarian interpreters the same thing?

We get this question a lot.

Hungarian interpreters help with spoken interactions. They are present in-the-moment to help people with different languages to communicate (Hungarian into English and English into Hungarian). Interpreters serve as communication and are experts at cultural nuance. They help to ensure that both parties understand each other.

Hungarian translators help with written documents. Translators convert written text into the needed language.

How are Hungarian interpreters on Jeenie different from other services?

Jeenie attracts the best interpreters in the world. Truly. We constantly hear from clients that they have NEVER had such amazing interpreters on other services. That skill saves our clients time and minimizes their risk of costly miscommunications. Here's how we excel at quality:

We treat interpreters well.
Jeenie offers linguists great compensation (often the best in the industry), work-life flexibility, ongoing learning to improve their craft, and our heart-felt respect. For this and many other reasons, the best interpreters want to be on the Jeenie platform.

We have extremely high standards.
Unlike most of our competitors who outsource huge chunks of their interpreting needs, Jeenie has created a vetted network of global talent who are active within our platform. This gives us direct oversight on quality and skills assessment. Jeenie interpreters must pass our rigorous skills evaluations, have several years of experience, maintain 4.0 average client rating, and pass ongoing quality tests.
