Also wanted to ask: I noticed one of the commenters above mentioned that she doesn’t know how to knit socks yet and I wanted to offer a link to her and to anyone else for a free beginner’s pattern. I wrote it during my own experience learning how to knit socks because there didn’t seem to be one available at that time and I was getting soooo frustrated. Anyway, if Larissa is reading this, here is the link:

The cool thing about Hungarian is that there’s no “correct” word order- word order determines emphasis. So if I say “to knit socks”, “kötni zokni” the emphasis is on the “knit”, but if I said “zokni kötni”, the emphasis would be on knitting socks as opposed to sweaters. So if you wanted to have leafy socks in Hungarian, the question would be if the leafy part was more important than the socks- “Leveles Zokni” or if the sock was more important than the leafy- “Zokni Leveles”.

(The first time I read the post, I read “zokni” as “zonki.” I think it’s stuck in my head that way. Zonki Socks!)
