Imádkoztok

Imádkoztok is the Hungarian word for "you (plural) pray" or "you (plural) are praying". It is the second-person plural present tense indicative form of the verb "imádkozni", which means "to pray" in Hungarian.

The verb "imádkozni" itself is derived from "imádni", meaning "to adore" or "to worship". Thus, the act of praying in Hungarian inherently carries a connotation of reverence and devotion. The plural form "imádkoztok" is used when addressing a group of people who are praying or are being asked to pray.

In a religious context, "imádkoztok" refers to the act of communicating with a deity or deities, often involving supplication, thanksgiving, confession, or adoration. It can be performed individually or communally. The specific rituals, prayers, and beliefs associated with "imádkoztok" would vary significantly depending on the religious tradition being observed in Hungary, which is predominantly Roman Catholic, but also includes Calvinist, Lutheran, and other Christian denominations, as well as a small but growing number of other faiths.

Outside of a strictly religious context, the phrase "imádkoztok" can sometimes be used more colloquially to express a strong hope or wish, essentially meaning "you are hoping earnestly" or "you are wishing fervently". However, its primary and most direct translation remains "you (plural) pray".
