\"kivárnok\" is mispelled, there is no \"r\" in it, but it\'s a very common mistake, since the native English speaker tends to \"hear\" the \"r\" in words that do NOT have the \"r,\" such as \"kivárnok,\" or \"körszönöm\" - in a way, it\'s logical, but nevertheless incorrect. :-)

The Hungarian phrase with the correct spelling should look like this (if ProZ supports..)
\"Jó estét kívánok\"
kivanok (Onnek) - I wish (you) ~~ (not commonly used in English)
jo - good
este - evening

jó estét
The "kivánok" part is optional. It makes the greeting a little more formal
