Elvárnának

Elvárnának is a Hungarian verb form. It is the conditional mood, third-person plural form of the verb "elvárni". The verb "elvárni" itself means to expect, to anticipate, or to await. Therefore, "elvárnának" translates to "they would expect", "they would anticipate", or "they would await".

This grammatical form is used to express a hypothetical or conditional situation involving a group of people. For instance, if someone were to say "Ha tudnák, elvárnának segítséget" (If they knew, they would expect help), "elvárnának" signifies that the expectation of help is contingent on them knowing something. The conditional mood in Hungarian, as in many languages, introduces an element of uncertainty or a situation that is not currently true but might be under certain circumstances.

The structure of the Hungarian verb system involves conjugating verbs based on person, number, tense, and mood. "Elvárnának" reflects this conjugation, specifically the conditional mood which is often marked by the suffix "-nának" or "-nének" in the plural. The initial "el-" prefix in "elvárni" is a verbal prefix that often modifies the meaning of the base verb, in this case, adding a sense of "away" or completion, though its precise impact on "várni" (to wait) is to enhance the sense of expectation.
