A közönség még ráadást kér.

Because közönség means audience, which is a collective noun. Hungarian usually treats it as a single group, so the verb is singular too:

• a közönség kér = the audience asks / is asking

This works much like English the audience is... in singular usage.

Még is a very common word with several meanings, and here it adds the idea of still, yet, or more / another depending on context.

In this sentence, it suggests that the audience is still asking or asking for more. With ráadás in a performance context, the overall sense is that they want another piece / an encore.

So még does not simply mean one single English word here; it helps create the idea of still wanting more.

Literally, ráadás means something like:

• addition
• extra
• bonus

In everyday Hungarian, it can refer to anything extra that is added on. In the context of a concert or performance, that extra performance after the official end is an encore.

So in this sentence, ráadás is being used in that performance-related sense.

The -t marks the direct object in Hungarian.

Here, the thing being requested is ráadás:

• ráadás = encore / extra
• ráadást = encore / extra as the object

Since kér means ask for / request, it takes an object, and Hungarian marks that object with -t.

So:

• ráadást kér = asks for an encore

Kér is:

• present tense
• 3rd person singular
• from the verb kér = to ask for, request

So:

• én kérek = I ask for
• te kérsz = you ask for
• ő kér = he/she/it asks for

Here the subject is a közönség, which is singular, so kér is the correct form.

This is a very useful Hungarian grammar point.

Hungarian has two main conjugation patterns:

• indefinite conjugation
• definite conjugation

Here we get kér, the indefinite form, because ráadást is being treated as a non-specific / indefinite object.

Compare:

• ráadást kér = asks for an encore / some encore
• a ráadást kéri = asks for the encore / requests that specific encore

So the original sentence is more natural if the audience is generally calling for an encore, rather than asking for one specifically identified encore.

Because the sentence is talking about an encore in a general sense, not a specific already-identified encore.

Hungarian often leaves nouns without an article when they are indefinite in this kind of expression.

So:

• ráadást kér = asks for an encore
• a ráadást kéri = asks for the encore

The version without the article is the natural one for the general idea of calling for an encore.

Hungarian word order is flexible, but it is not random. It often reflects information structure and emphasis.

A közönség még ráadást kér is a natural neutral order:

• A közönség = subject
• még = adverb
• ráadást = object
• kér = verb

This sounds like a straightforward statement.

You may also hear other orders, but they can shift emphasis. For example:

• A közönség még kér ráadást is possible, but it feels less neutral and more marked in many contexts.

For a learner, the original sentence is a good standard pattern to remember.

It can cover both ideas.

Kér often means:

• ask for
• request

So in this sentence, it is not ask in the sense of ask a question. It means request something.

That is why ráadást kér is better understood as:

• asks for an encore
• requests an encore

not asks an encore

A rough pronunciation guide is:

• A = short aw
• közönség ≈ kuh-zurn-shayg
• még ≈ mayg
• ráadást ≈ raa-ah-daasht
• kér ≈ kayr

A few key pronunciation points:

• Hungarian stress is normally on the first syllable of each word.
• é is a long vowel, roughly like ay.
• á is also long, but more open.
• ö and ő are front rounded vowels, which do not exist in standard English.
• s in Hungarian sounds like English sh.
• zs sounds like the s in measure.

So közönség has the final ség with a sh sound at the start of that syllable.

Yes, depending on context, that is a very natural way to understand it.

Word-for-word, the sentence mentions ráadás, which is an extra / bonus / encore. But in real usage, especially after a performance, the broader sense is often:

• The audience still wants more
• The audience is still asking for an encore
• The audience is calling for another encore

So the exact English wording can vary, even though the Hungarian structure stays the same.
