He holds the degrees of Master of Arts in English and Italian (1970, ELTE); Dr. univ. in English Linguistics (1977, ELTE); and PhD in Linguistics (1994, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, MTA).[2] He speaks Hungarian (native), English, German, Italian and French.[3] He wrote a regular column in the magazine Magyar Narancs, popularizing linguistics.[2]

Nádasdy has translated plays by Shakespeare into Hungarian (often seen as ground-breaking after the "classic" translations of János Arany and others), namely The Comedy of Errors, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Taming of the Shrew, Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Twelfth Night, As You Like It, and The Tempest.[4][5] His new Hungarian translation of the Divine Comedy by Dante was published in 2016.[6]

He gave a lecture on Mindentudás Egyeteme (University of All Knowledge), a popular science TV series featuring renowned academics, in November 2003 on the topic "Why does language change?".[7]
