Introducing My Hungarian Friend Kata

Introduction:

This week, I am formally introducing you to my first Hungarian friend, Kata Deim! We were introduced online in the summer of 2024. She is one of the kindest people I have ever met. Not only did she check out my apartment on my behalf to make sure it was safe and clean, she then helped me move in on the very first day we met in person. This is a rough transcript of an interview I did with her to answer these questions.

What is your full name?:

Deim Kata. (In Hungary, it is proper to introduce yourself with your last name first.)

Where do you live? What is your house like?:

I live in Székesfehérvár. I live in a four story flat. It’s yellow. I live on the 4th floor so I can see the lake nearby. It is two smaller lakes. And because of the height I can see the pigeons because they have a nest near my window.

What is your family like?:

I live with my mother and I sometimes visit my dad who lives near the mountain, so I had a lot of walking trips when I was a kid. My mom is really nice because she helps me with my goals. And my dad is really chill. He let me walk the big dog when I was really tiny.

How do you get around?:

I used to go to Budapest a lot, so I used the buses and the trains as well. In my hometown I mostly walk. It is a lot smaller than Budapest!
