Foglalnia

Foglalnia is the infinitive form of the Hungarian verb foglal, which means to occupy or to reserve. In Hungarian, foglalnia is used to express the action of reserving or occupying in non-finite clauses and in constructions with auxiliary verbs that indicate necessity, obligation, or intention. The word can refer to physical occupation of space as well as to making a reservation.

The primary senses of foglal include occupying space or a position, such as a chair, seat, or territory, and the more everyday sense of booking or reserving something, like a hotel room, a table, or a ticket. The noun form foglalás conveys the act or result of reserving or occupying, and related forms such as lefoglalni (to reserve/book) are common in everyday use. Foglalni and lefoglalni are frequently encountered in both formal and informal Hungarian contexts.

Usage notes and examples:

- Meg kell foglalnia a szobát. (You must reserve the room.)

- A vállalat szeretné foglalni a konferenciatermet. (The company would like to reserve the conference room.)
