Beer? Beer! (Hungarian/English)

Shortly into my year as an exchange student in Hungary, I was given the opportunity to sit down and drink with my host father. Despite knowing what my host father was saying, I would still instinctively respond to him in English, thus the experience would begin with him asking ²õö°ù?, beer? And me answering 'sure!' which sounded to my host father's ear just as ²õö°ù: Beer? Beer! A nice to note to self: a simple igen, yes, can save you wonderous confusion ... or possibly bring more on.
