Igeragozású

Igeragozású is an adjective used in Hungarian grammar to describe forms that participate in the system of verb conjugation. The term is mainly employed in linguistic descriptions, grammar explanations, and language education to distinguish conjugated verb forms from non-conjugated bases or other word classes that do not undergo verb inflection.

In Hungarian, verbs are inflected for person (first, second, third), number (singular, plural), tense, mood, voice, and aspect. An igeragozású form is any form that belongs to this system—for example, futok (I run), futsz (you run), futottam (I ran), futottunk (we ran). By contrast, the infinitive form, such as futni, is not an igeragozású form; it is the base form before conjugation.

The label igeragozású is typical in dictionaries, grammar tables, and linguistic analyses to mark forms that reflect conjugation. It is also used when discussing regular versus irregular conjugation patterns; regular verbs have predictable igeragozású forms, while irregular verbs deviate from standard paradigms.

Etymology: from ige meaning "verb" and ragozás meaning "conjugation," with the suffix -ú forming an adjective meaning "having or relating to conjugation." See also Hungarian grammar, verb conjugation, and related concepts such as aspect and tense.
