Folytatódni

Folytatódni is a Hungarian verb that expresses the continuation of a process, event, or narrative. It is intransitive, describing that something goes on or continues by itself rather than being continued by an external agent. The infinitive form is folytatódni, and the present indicative is folytatódik.

Usage examples and notes:

The verb is commonly used with subjects that denote developments, such as a sorozat (the series), a történet (the story), a projekt (the project), or a beszélgetés (the conversation). For instance, “A sorozat folytatódik a jövő héten” means the series continues next week. It often appears in news reporting and literary contexts to indicate ongoing action or progression. The transitive counterpart folytatni means “to continue something” and takes a direct object, e.g., “folytatni egy projektet” (to continue a project).

Grammar and forms:

Folytatódni is used across tenses in its intransitive sense. Present: folytatódik; past: folytatódott; future can be expressed with folytatódni fog or a future form like folytatódik majd. Subjunctive: folytatódjon; conditional: folytatódna. The present participle is folytatódó, used attributively as in “folytatódó folyamat” (continuing process). The verb is formed from folytat, with the intransitive suffix -ódni, signaling a continuing state rather than an action performed on an object.
