Elolvasom

Elolvasom is a Hungarian verb form meaning “I read through” or “I finish reading.” It is the first-person singular present indicative form of the verb elolvasni, formed with the prefix el- attached to olvasni (to read). The el- prefix signals completion or thoroughness, so elolvasom typically implies that the speaker intends to read the whole text and understand it, rather than merely skim it. The construction requires a direct object, as in elolvasom a konyvet (I read through the book).

In usage, elolvasom is common when someone commits to reading something in full, for example: Ma delutan elolvasom a jelentest (I will read through the report this afternoon). The past tense form is elolvastam (I read through / I finished reading), used to describe completed reading. The form elolvasom el is the standard way to negate the action: nem olvasom el (I will not/ I have not read through it). A related distinction is with felolvasni, which means “to read aloud,” not “to read through quietly.”

Related terms include vegigolvasom (to read through to the end) and olvasas (reading, as a noun). Elolvasom is primarily a present-tense statement of intent or current action, while its other forms convey completed actions or different modalities of reading.
