Ady was born in ?rmindszent, Transylvania into an impoverished noble family. (Today ?rmindszent is called Adyfalva ? Ady Village). Endre was the eldest of two children. He attended a protestant school in Zilah, then studied law in Debrecen. After finishing his studies he became a journalist, and published his first poems in a volume called Versek (Poems) in 1899. He soon got tired of Debrecen (the town later became the symbol of backwardness in his poetry) and moved to Nagyv?rad (today Oradea, Romania), a city with rich cultural life.
