Én - Me/I
Te - You
Ő - He/She/It
Mi - We
Ti - You all
Ők - They
Note: in hungarian sentences, we mostly 'hide' the subject in the predicate. For example:
I take the ball. Megfogom a labdát.
You take the ball. Megfogod a labdát.
He/She/It takes the ball. Megfogja a labdát.
We take the ball. Megfogjuk a labdát.
You all take the ball. Megfogjátok a labdát.
They take the ball. Megfogják a labdát.
You can say the sentence like this too:
I take the ball. Én megfogom a labdát.

Turkish Grammar Lesson
this will be quite a weird way to start a grammar lesson with, but you cannot believe how many times i've been asked the very same question so i'll have to clear this point: turkish has no connection with the arabic alphabet! it uses latin alphabet. there are some words taken from arabic as well as persian due to historical and geographic closeness but i can assure you that the quantity of those words is no bigger than that of the words taken from languages such as french or greek. so PLEASE don't go and demand the version of your name written in arabic letters from a turk! i don't know, do something, go find an arab!

HUNGARIAN GRAMMAR LESSON - Alphabet and Pronunciation
Consonants
The following are pronounced and written as in English:
b, d, f, g, h, k, l, m, n, p, r, t, v, z
Notes:
g is always hard as in 'gun', never soft as in 'gem'
r is rolled off the tongue, though not really trilled
t is pronounced with the tongue touching the back of the teeth (dental)
The following consonants are pronounced and/or spelled differently than
in English, and require special attention:
c is pronounced like the ts in 'bats'
cs is the English ch as in 'check'
gy is one sound pronounced like dy, or the d in 'adulation'
j, ly are both pronounced as y like 'yes

FINNISH - SUOMEN KIELI
The Finnish language is spoken nowhere else besides Finland itself; there are no 'dialects' of Finnish as such (though languages like Saami can be considered products of Finnish), but there are a multitude of accents which I won't go into here. What needs to be remembered is that textbook-Finnish (called 'kirjakieli, 'book-language') is extremely formal compared to what is used in everyday situations (this normal mode is called 'puhekieli', 'speech-language'). Many of the phrases taught below are in kirjakieli, though the regular ('realistic') forms will also be given in places. Finnish is a very 'mobile' and flexible
