In Hungarian do you hear a difference in the fact that right now as we speak we are not playing the violin, or that in general (not necessarily right now) we are not playing the violin?
Huh, three years ago, but no reply. No, we don't. Hungarian has simple tense system: past, present and future. It's possible that some structures are more likely to be translated to present continuous in English, but usually you can't tell without context.
