Differences between two sets of Hungarian words

Answer

Esztendő mens the same as year.
Nézeget is not as serious as bámul.

Answer

Esztendő is older, folk-y (but not archaic) usage of the word “year”. It Carries more weight than “év”. Év is totally neutral.
Bámul is stare, nézeget is glimpsing at, keep looking at something but not paying much attention. It is also an action done somewhat repeatedly, for some length of time, but not intensely.
