Hiteleznél

Hiteleznél is a Hungarian grammatical form used to express the conditional action of lending money. It is the second-person singular present conditional form of the verb hitelelezni (to lend money) and is commonly employed in informal spoken Hungarian to pose a hypothetical or conditional request.

The main use of hiteleznél is to ask someone to lend money, typically in a direct question such as would you lend me…? Examples include: Hiteleznél nekem 5 000 forintot? (Would you lend me 5,000 forints?), Hiteleznél nekem egy hétre? (Would you lend me for a week?). The form signals a conditional or tentative scenario rather than a definite action, and it is often accompanied by a dative pronoun like nekem to indicate the beneficiary.

Formation and related forms: hiteleznél is formed from the verb hiteleezni/hitelelezés stem with the second-person singular conditional suffix -nél. It contrasts with hiteleznék (I would lend), hiteleznénk (we would lend), or hiteleznél-e (polite or formal variants in some contexts). The negative form is nem hiteleznél. In formal writing, more neutral or clearer constructions might be preferred, such as a direct request using a different mood or phrasing.

Usage notes: hiteleznél is primarily used in everyday speech when someone is asking for a loan in a casual context. It can carry a sense of caution or negotiation, reflecting the conditional nature of the request. In more formal or written Hungarian, a speaker might choose a less direct formulation or specify repayment terms to clarify obligations.
