Reggel a pékségbe megyek friss kifliért.

Reggel means in the morning or morningtime here.

Hungarian often uses a single adverb-like word for time expressions where English uses a preposition plus a noun:

• reggel = in the morning
• este = in the evening
• éjjel = at night

So Reggel by itself is completely natural and does not need a separate word meaning in.

A is the definite article, meaning the.

So:

• pékség = bakery
• a pékség = the bakery
• a pékségbe = into the bakery / to the bakery

In this sentence, the speaker is talking about a specific bakery, or at least one that is understood from context.

The ending -be means into or to the inside of. It is a case ending showing movement inward.

So:

• pékség = bakery
• pékségbe = into the bakery / to the bakery

Hungarian often uses case endings where English uses prepositions.

A useful contrast:

• pékségben = in the bakery
• pékségbe = into the bakery

Here, because the speaker is going there, the motion ending -be is used.

Because Hungarian usually leaves out the subject pronoun when it is already clear from the verb ending.

Megyek already means I go or I’m going.

• megyek = I go / I am going
• én megyek = I go, with extra emphasis on I

So én is not necessary unless you want contrast or emphasis, for example:

• Én megyek, nem ő. = I’m going, not him/her.

Megyek is the 1st person singular present tense form of the verb menni (to go).

So:

• menni = to go
• megyek = I go / I’m going

In Hungarian, the present tense can often correspond to either English I go or I’m going, depending on context.

Here, with reggel, it could mean something like:

• I go to the bakery in the morning for fresh rolls or
• I’m going to the bakery in the morning for fresh rolls

The ending -ért means for in the sense of to get something, to fetch something, or for the purpose of obtaining something.

So:

• kifli = crescent roll
• kifliért = for a crescent roll / for some crescent rolls

In this sentence:

• friss kifliért megyek = I’m going for fresh kifli
• more naturally in English: I’m going to get fresh rolls

This is a very common Hungarian pattern:

• kenyérért megyek = I’m going for bread
• tejért megyek = I’m going for milk

Not necessarily. Hungarian often uses the singular when talking about something as a type of item or as an amount to be bought or fetched.

So friss kifliért can naturally mean:

• for fresh kifli
• to get fresh rolls

Even if English might prefer a plural, Hungarian does not always need one here.

If you specifically want to emphasize multiple individual rolls, you could use the plural:

• friss kiflikért

But the singular is very natural in this kind of sentence.

Kifli is a Hungarian bread roll, usually crescent-shaped.

It is often translated as crescent roll, and sometimes loosely as roll. It is not exactly the same as a French croissant, because a kifli is usually a regular bread roll, not the flaky, buttery pastry that croissant suggests in English.

So in learning materials, roll or crescent roll is usually the safest meaning.

Because Hungarian adjectives usually do not change to agree with the noun the way they do in some other languages.

So:

• friss kifli = fresh roll
• friss kiflik = fresh rolls
• friss kifliért = for fresh roll(s)

The adjective friss stays the same. The case ending goes on the noun:

• kifli → kifliért

That is very normal in Hungarian.

No, Hungarian word order is fairly flexible, and changes in word order often change emphasis more than basic meaning.

The sentence

• Reggel a pékségbe megyek friss kifliért.

is a natural way to say it, with Reggel setting the time first.

Other orders are possible too, for example:

• Friss kifliért megyek reggel a pékségbe.
• A pékségbe megyek reggel friss kifliért.

These versions still mean roughly the same thing, but the emphasis shifts. So learners should not expect Hungarian word order to work exactly like English word order.

The gy sound is a special Hungarian consonant.

In megyek, it is softer than a normal English g. A rough English approximation is the dy sound in words like during in some pronunciations, though it is not exactly the same.

So megyek is roughly like:

• meh-dyek

but with a very soft dy sound.

You do not pronounce it like:

• meg-yek
• or a hard g

It is one single consonant sound: gy.
