A feladat valójában könnyű.

In Hungarian, the verb to be is usually left out in the present tense, third person singular when the predicate is a noun or adjective.

So:

• A feladat könnyű. = The task is easy.
• literally: The task easy.

This is completely normal in Hungarian. But in other persons, van is not omitted in the same way:

• A feladat könnyű. = The task is easy.
• A feladatok könnyűek. = The tasks are easy.
• Én fáradt vagyok. = I am tired.

So the missing is is not a mistake; it is standard Hungarian grammar.

Word by word:

• A = the
• feladat = task, exercise, assignment, or problem, depending on context
• valójában = actually, in reality, in fact
• könnyű = easy (it can also mean light in other contexts)

So the sentence structure is:

• A feladat = the task
• valójában = actually
• könnyű = easy

A is the definite article, meaning the.

So:

• A feladat = the task
• Egy feladat = a task
• Feladat by itself would usually not work as a normal complete noun phrase here

Hungarian uses definite and indefinite articles much like English does, although there are some differences in usage.

Also note that a and az are both forms of the:

• a before consonant sounds
• az before vowel sounds

Since feladat starts with f, you use a:

• a feladat

Valójában means something like:

• actually
• in reality
• really
• in fact

It often adds a sense of correcting an assumption or revealing the true situation.

For example:

• A feladat valójában könnyű.
  The task is actually easy.

This suggests that maybe it seems difficult at first, but in reality it is easy.

Compared with English actually, valójában is often a bit more like in reality or in fact, and can sound slightly more formal depending on context.

Yes. Hungarian word order is fairly flexible, and changing it changes the focus or emphasis.

For example:

• A feladat valójában könnyű.
  Neutral: The task is actually easy.

• Valójában a feladat könnyű.
  Emphasis on actually / in reality

• A feladat könnyű valójában.
  Less common in neutral speech, but possible in certain contexts

Hungarian word order is not just about grammar; it is also about what information is new, emphasized, contrasted, or already known.

So this sentence is not the only possible order, but it is a natural one.

Könnyű is an adjective meaning easy.

In this sentence, it is used predicatively: it describes the subject a feladat.

A useful thing to know is that Hungarian adjectives do not agree with the noun in the way they do in some other languages.

So:

• a könnyű feladat = the easy task
• a könnyű feladatok = not correct for the easy tasks
• a könnyű feladatok would need correct plural marking elsewhere depending on structure

More importantly for predicative use:

• A feladat könnyű. = The task is easy.
• A feladatok könnyűek. = The tasks are easy.

Here, in the plural, the adjective becomes könnyűek.

So yes, predicates can show plural in this kind of sentence.

The final ű is a Hungarian vowel: a long ü sound.

So könnyű is pronounced with:

• ö in the first syllable
• ny as a single consonant sound
• long ű at the end

The accents in Hungarian are important because they usually mark vowel length or a different vowel quality.

So:

• u and ú are different
• ü and ű are different in length
• o / ó, ö / ő, a / á, etc. are also distinct

You should learn the spelling exactly as written, because Hungarian spelling is quite regular.

A rough pronunciation guide:

• A = short aw / uh
• feladat = FEH-law-dawt
• valójában = roughly vaw-loy-aa-ban
• könnyű = roughly KER-nyuu or KUR-nyuu with rounded lips

A few important sound notes:

• j is pronounced like English y
• ny is like the ny in Spanish señor, or like the ny sound in canyon
• ö and ű do not exist as standard English vowels, so they need practice
• stress in Hungarian is almost always on the first syllable of the word:
  • FEladat
  • VAlójában
  • KÖNNYŰ

Not always exactly. Feladat is a broad word that can mean:

• task
• exercise
• assignment
• problem
• duty

The best translation depends on context.

For example:

• in school: exercise or assignment
• in a test: question or problem
• at work: task
• in a general sense: duty or job

So even if the sentence is translated one way in your material, keep in mind that feladat is flexible.

It is natural, but it can sound a little more formal or deliberate than some everyday alternatives.

Other common words include:

• igazából = actually / really
• tényleg = really / actually
• valóban = indeed / really / actually

Examples:

• A feladat valójában könnyű.
• A feladat igazából könnyű.
• A feladat tényleg könnyű.

These are similar, but not identical:

• valójában = in reality
• igazából = actually / really
• tényleg = really
• valóban = indeed / truly

So valójában is correct and useful, but not the only option.

Yes. Because feladat can mean task, exercise, assignment, or problem, the sentence could be translated in several ways depending on context:

• The task is actually easy.
• The exercise is actually easy.
• The assignment is actually easy.
• The problem is actually easy.

Hungarian often relies on context for the most natural English equivalent.
