Elhívok

Elhívok is a Hungarian word that translates to "I invite you" or "I will call you" in English. The meaning depends on the context. If it is used in the context of a social gathering or event, it signifies an invitation. For example, "Elhívlak a születésnapomra" translates to "I invite you to my birthday."

Alternatively, "elhívok" can also mean "I will call you" or "I will phone you." This usage is more about establishing contact. For instance, "Elhívlak este" could mean "I will call you in the evening." The specific verb used in Hungarian for "to call on the phone" is often "felhív," which makes "elhívok" in this context a slightly less common but still understandable phrasing, implying the action of calling someone.

The word is derived from the verb "hív," meaning "to call" or "to invite." The prefix "el-" often indicates a completed action or a departure, but in this case, it functions to modify the base verb to convey the specific meanings of inviting or initiating a call. Understanding the context is key to correctly interpreting whether "elhívok" refers to a social invitation or the act of making a phone call. It is a versatile verb in everyday Hungarian conversation.
