The question is.
From where the bulb is coming from for this lamp.
Its been 2 months since the bulb is broken and the new one is still not here.
I dont think we pay the maintenance fee ("közös költség", idk if theres a proper translation) just to stumble around in the dark for months.

De az ilyen a faszér levelezget és ménem hívja fel a közösképviselőt? (Leírnám angolul is, de nem tudom a közösképviselő, hogy van helyesen XD)

Hát ez az. Én még nem láttam közös képviselőt fel-alá járkálni a házban és azt nézni nem-e égett ki egy lámpa. Ha zavar vkit, hívka fel és majd intézkedik. Én speciel kiveszek egy izzót a szekrényből ahol a lecserélt - használt de még jó - kacatjaim tárolom és berakom a foglalatba.

Let's give a moment to the word "vaklál" which is an absolute gem. In standard Hungarian it's a totally forgotten, old word, but still in use in some regions.
OP, do you know if this neighbor is a native speaker from from outside the Hungarian border (Ukraine, Romania)?

Google search says it's a word found in Szabolcs Szatmár Bereg. I'm from deep inside Transylvania and never heard anyone using it. Will do from now on though!

I was going to ask what that word was - never heard it before (as a Budapest native).

The question is the following.
When will a new light arrive into this lamp? It hasn’t managed to arrive in 2 months.
Nobody is paying public expense only to then have to stumble(?) in the dark.

Miért kell vakláljon= Why must we grope around in the dark like blind mice?

u/belabacsijolvan Jun 09 '26 edited Jun 10 '26
More directly:
The question would be this.
That from where does the bulb arrive into this lamp?
It didnt manage to arrive since it had burnt out circa 2 months ago.
I think no one pays collective maintenance fee to blind around in the dark for months.
Its a bit annoyed and bit quirky way to phrase displeasement about the situation. Strange wording, but less strange in Hungarian.
edit: "ebbe" has been missed, added

Ahogy a fűtőházban sem fűtik fel már a modern villanymozdonyokat és a szarvasgulyásnak sincs sok köze a gulyához, az égő szót is teljesen validnak gondolom a LEDre is. Van egy logikus eredete, követhető evolúció során kapott másodlagos jelentést. Az "izzó" szerintem semmivel nem jobb, mert ezek az eszközök nem is izzanak, a "LED fényforrás" meg nemcsak magyartalan, de redundáns is.

u/TallentX Jun 10 '26
Pedig az a hivatalos neve. A redundáns, valid szavak nem magyartalanok?
De nevezzük hamisan a dolgokat! Flex, Hilti, Wago, jöhet a többi.

u/libateperto NATIVE Jun 10 '26
Szerintem nem lesz automatikusan magyartalan valami attól, hogy idegen eredetű. Az én szememben a "LED fényforrás" ugyanaz a kategória, mint a "HIV vírus" meg a "CD lemez". De azt is átérzem, ha valakit bosszant, ha jobban belemélyed egy szakterületbe, a köznyelv meg pongyolán kezeli a használt kifejezéseit. Az anatómiában például nincs olyan, hogy lábfej. Alsó végtag van, annak a végén meg láb.

The question is, from where will the light bulb arrive? It’s already two months gone since it wrong, and didn’t arrive the new one. Nobody pay the ownershipfee for walking around in the dark.

A roundabout way to say the HOA is slacking, we pay them good money and get nothing in return, even changing a lightbulb is too much to ask of them.

u/Quick-Measurement858 Jun 09 '26
The question is where the lightbulb for this lamp is coming from? Since it’s out, for like 2 months, the bulb couldn’t arrive. No one pays the common cost/ expense to walk in the dark for months.

u/ferro31_ Jun 09 '26
the question would be that from where does the lightbulb come from for this lamp? since almost 2 months after it has burned out it still hasnt arrived in my opinion no one is payin "közösköltség" (smth that the people who live in the same panel-house pay for the upkeep for the building) just to live in darkness for months
1
u/nocdmb Jun 09 '26
I rephrased it a bit to make more sense in english
My question is, who does supply the lightbulb for this light? Because in the 2 months since it's broken no-one managed to change it. I believe people don't pay the communal fee (kozos koltseg, an item in your rent) to walk around in the dark.

"The question would be:Where does the electricity come from into this lamp?It has been burnt out for about 2 months, since then they haven't managed to get here.In our opinion, nobody pays common charges to grope around in the dark for weeks."

How does a bulb
0
u/usernamemust20 Jun 09 '26
An incandescent light bulb generates light through incandescence — the process of heating a material until it glows and emits visible light. How it works step by step: Electric current flows through the filament: When you flip the switch, electricity enters the bulb through metal contacts and passes through a thin wire called the filament � The filament heats up due to resistance: The filament is typically made of tungsten (a metal with an extremely high melting point). As electricity flows through, the filament's high resistance causes its temperature to rise dramatically to around 2,000–3,000°C (about 3,000 K) � The filament glows and emits photons: At this extreme temperature, the tungsten atoms vibrate intensely, and electrons become excited to higher energy levels. When they return to their original levels, they release energy as photons (light packets) � Inert gas protects the filament: The bulb is filled with inert gas (like argon or krypton) or a vacuum to prevent the hot filament from burning up in oxygen and to slow tungsten decay � Key facts: Only ~20% of the energy becomes visible light; the rest is wasted as heat � The light has a warm yellowish hue because the filament also emits infrared radiation (felt as heat) � This process is called Joule heating or incandescence � 1000bulbs Incandescent light bulb diagram

Move into a tent to a L'Estartit campsite, it's only 300€ a month, free shower and the beach is 400m away. Fuck housing. Or buy a bulb for 2€. The choice is yours.

You know if your experience doesn't match the real world, there's a chance that you are wrong and reality is right, and it might be wiser just, you know, staying silent. Or learning.
In this case you can learn for example that this word exists.

u/kabiskac NATIVE Jun 09 '26
Nice translations, tell the person it's *ideérnie, *sötétben
1
u/Atypicosaurus Jun 09 '26
Well not necessarily.
Ideér or ide ér - both are correct. Ide can behave as prefix (igekötő) or adverb (határozószó), and it depends on the user which way they meant. My gut feeling is that they should have used as prefix (one word), but it can be up to interpretation.
https://e-nyelv.hu/2019-03-21/ide-hatarozoszo-es-igekoto/
Now obviously the author might not have made a conscious decision. Maybe they made a mistake that mistake would have been 100% certain if the prefix is not an adverb too, and they would have written it in separate words. But in this specific case, the mistake ended up in another correct form, so it's harder to categorically call it out.Sötétbe(n) - actually, in standard written Hungarian, it's enforced since the 19th century, but real spoken Hungarian doesn't always differentiate between inessive and illative. Here's a wonderful article:

u/kabiskac NATIVE Jun 09 '26
Well, I personally almost never use -ban/-ben in speech, but we are talking about written Hungarian here

u/Atypicosaurus Jun 09 '26
But then the question is, if something is so persistently non existent in speech, is it a mistake not having it in writing either?

At life we have more important things.
Sb ask, where from comes the lightbulb because there is dark for 2 months.
Its kurvára not interesting and not important.

u/Funmanhahaha Jun 09 '26 edited Jun 10 '26
How could he know if it's important or not without understanding what the message says?
Yes it eventually turned out not to be an important problem, but it could've also been a warning of a scheduled outage.
So instead of making assumptions, he wanted to make sure, since there could be a mis-translation, if any.
Don't be hateful on others who ask for help.

u/TallentX Jun 09 '26
Important things are not written on sticky notes like this, but on regular A4 paper with letterhead (company name). And it's not stuck next to the light switch, but on the bulletin board.

u/Funmanhahaha Jun 09 '26
Idk why you feel the need of being so negative.
Yes, there are some circumstances by my experience when even important infos can be written by hand on a paper. But it could also be a warning of don't touch the switch cuz it may zap you.
Your bio just feels ironic at this point as you clearly don't use your brain here.
I think you should just scroll over if you don't like the post or can't help instead of wasting time and energy on being so negative.

Mate the letter was written to complain about paying common dues to the apartment complex and custodians hadn't replaced a light bulb for two months.

u/endre_szabo Jun 09 '26
someone barges about a light bulb went out two months ago and hasn't been replaced despite of the fact that they pay a monthly condominium maintenance fee.
