Szervusz, Mátyás. Hogy van?
Jó ...
At the most basic level of Text-to-Speech, you can insert "pausing"
punctuation, even between words where normal punctuation would not be found.
[This is most useful when a text is spoken but not read by humans.]
The comma ( , ) will insert a pause into the speech.
You can use a dot ( . ) for a longer pause.
==
say "hello gary" -- no pause
say "hello, gary" -- short pause
say "hello. gary" -- longer pause

There used to be a whole range of phoneme codes and prosody symbols which
could be used to control PlainTalk's speech.
I have tried some of these and they do not appear to work in OS X. (They
used to work under earlier MacinTalk Pro.)
The breathing phoneme codes are (were?)
% silence
@ breath intake
I hope that helps (some).
