Folytatom

Folytatom is the first-person singular present indicative form of the Hungarian verb folytatni, meaning to continue or to resume. In ordinary usage, folytatom expresses that the speaker will or is in the process of continuing an action, often after a pause or interruption. The form is common in both spoken and written Hungarian and can denote a simple present action or a near-future intention depending on context.

Morphology and conjugation: folytatni is a regular verb, and folytatom is formed from the stem folytat- plus the personal ending -om. Other present-tense forms include folytatod (you continue), folytatja (he/she continues), folytatjuk (we continue), folytatjátok (you all continue), folytatják (they continue). The word can function with different tenses and moods when extended (for example, folytatom majd can express “I will continue”).

Usage and nuance: folytatom is versatile in both narration and dialogue. It can indicate resuming an activity after an interruption, continuing a line of thought, or signaling the intention to persevere with a task. In conversation, it can stand alone as an assertive continuation, e.g., Folytatom. or be embedded in longer sentences like Folytatom, amit elkezdtem. Common contexts include presentations, writing drafts, and personal notes where a caller or writer wants to underscore ongoing action.

Examples:

- A beszélgetést folytatom. (I will continue the conversation.)

- Folytatom, amit elkezdtem. (I will continue what I started.)

- Most folytatom a dolgozatot. (Now I will continue the paper.)
