Garantálom

Garantálom is a Hungarian verb in the first-person singular present tense, meaning "I guarantee." It is formed from the infinitive garantálni (to guarantee) with the standard Hungarian present tense suffixes. The term is used to express a firm assurance or commitment regarding a statement, action, or result. It is common in everyday speech, business communication, marketing, and customer service, where a speaker wants to affirm reliability or verify accuracy.

Etymology and related forms: The verb derives from the noun garancia or the concept of a guarantee, itself a loanword from Western European languages (through German or French influence). The infinitive is garantálni, and the present 1st person form is garantálom. Like other -álni verbs, it follows regular conjugation patterns. Related forms include garantálod (you guarantee), garantálja (he/she/it guarantees), garantáljuk (we guarantee), garantáljátok (you all guarantee), and garantálják (they guarantee). Derived nouns include garancia (guarantee, warranty), garantálás (guaranteeing), and garantált (guaranteed). A related adjective is garantált.

Usage notes: Garantálom is a strong, explicit commitment and is often used when the speaker takes personal responsibility for a result or claim. It can appear in formal statements, advertisements, customer communications, and assurances in everyday dialogue. It is distinct from more tentative expressions of promise, signaling a clear guarantee rather than a mere promise.

Example sentences:

- Garantálom, hogy időben elküldöm a megrendelést. (I guarantee that I will send the order on time.)

- Garantálom a termék minőségét. (I guarantee the quality of the product.)
