It seems like a lot, but it isn’t. 1,000 forint is ~$3. So when you see this picture, you can smile when you think of the English equivalent:

Apa, tudsz adni egy ezrest?

Dad, could you give me a grand?

The word being conjugated here is “tud.” It is a helping verb, so the phrase to look at really involves the word “adni” (to give).

If I ask my dad if he could give me THE or THAT 1,000 bill to me, the helping verb (“could”) takes the definite conjugation (tudod).

But since I am asking for ANY 1,000 bill, the helping verb is indefinite (tudsz).
