I am looking for the phrase "Many Years/Mnohaja L'ita" in Hungarian. If someone out there knows it and can post it, please do! Thanks.
Dave

Dave Éljen (éljenek) soká; éljen (éljenek) soká; számos éven át, éljen (éljenek) soká! From Az Én Kis Imakönyvem compiled by Grigassy published in Braddock, PA, in 1945, with the imprimatur of BASIL TAKACH.

XB! Thanks, Tony!
Is the parenthetical "eljenek" feminine or plural?

Dave BB! Dave, I am not sure. When I have heard it sung, only a few times, I think it was the first option. The standard word for year seems to be év(es). In any event -ek is one of the plural markers. I'll drop a line to Hungary to a GC priest friend of mine and let you know as soon as I get a reply. Tony

Dave, Here is the verbatim reply from Hungary: 1. Mnogaja leta...
Éljen (éljenek) soká, éljen (éljenek) soká, éljen (éljenek) soká, számos éven
át!
Egészségben, békességben éljen (éljenek) soká, számos éven át!
The music (melodia) is in Hungary as a Carpato-Rusin melodia.
The text is same...
Éljen = to be (imperativus sing.)
Éljenek = to be (imperativus pluralis)
soká = many years
számos = many
év = year
át = during
Egészségben = in good health
békességben = in peace (in harmony)
He knows language is my interest hence he provides a parsing. Anything else, let me know.

Just a note, there is no masculine or femine gender in Hungarian, unlike the Slavic or other Indo-European languages.In fact in Hungarian, there is one word for he, she, or it., "o",but with those two marks above the o.The two distant european cousins of Hungarian ,Finnish and Estonian, are likewise genderless, as are all the Uralic languages.I have studied Finnish and Hungarian, though I regret that I am not fluent in either.I wish I'd studied them at a younger age.
