Igyekezve

Igyekezve is a Hungarian adverbial form derived from the verb igyekezni, meaning to strive or to make an effort. It describes the manner in which an action is performed, conveying that the subject acts with diligence, persistence, or careful effort. In sentence structure it functions as an adverb or as part of a participial phrase, often placed before or after the main verb: Igyekezve teljesítette a feladatot. Dolgozott igyekezve, amennyire csak lehetett, is a common construction. The form is neutral in tone and is used in both written and spoken Hungarian, though more common in formal or literary contexts.

Etymology: the form igyekezve comes from the verb igyekezni 'to strive' and the adverbial suffix -ve, yielding an adverbial participle-like form that modifies verbs and clauses.

Usage notes: Igyekezve expresses manner rather than outcome; it does not inherently indicate success or failure. In everyday speech speakers may choose simpler phrases such as 'nagy gonddal' (with great care) or 'keményen' (hard). The word is versatile but tends toward a more careful or earnest tone.
