"egy lámpa"

Translation: a lamp

[Sanktabeno]

Does it mean that "A" in Hungarian has the same pronunciation like "O" in English? I heard that it's "egy lámpo". Did I hear wrongly?

[RyagonIV]

It is a pretty deep, dark 'a' variant, sounding similar to some 'o' in English. The letter 'a' is realised in Hungarian with the open rounded back vowel. The Wikipedia entry suggest it's the sound like in "thought" or "not", depending on your dialect.

No. :´)

[MehmetAliAtc]

It is read as lámpo?

[csi]

Nope, just exactly as it is written.

[ftay98]

Feminine?

[RyagonIV]

No. Hungarian doesn't have grammatical genders.
