Kedvem

Kedvem is a Hungarian word that translates to "my pleasure" or "my liking." It is commonly used in informal contexts to express personal satisfaction, enjoyment, or a feeling of wanting to do something. For example, someone might say "Ezt szívesen megteszem, kedvem szerint" which means "I'll do this gladly, as I like" or "It's my pleasure."

The word "kedvem" is derived from the Hungarian word "kedv," meaning liking, mood, or spirit. The suffix "-em" indicates possession, specifically the first-person singular possessive, hence "my liking" or "my mood."

In everyday conversation, "kedvem" can be used to indicate one's desire or inclination. If someone asks if you want to go somewhere, you might reply "Megyek, ha kedvem tartja," meaning "I'll go if I feel like it." It conveys a sense of personal will and preference.

Beyond expressing personal desire, "kedvem" can also be used to soften a request or offer. Saying "Tennyél nekem egy szívességet, ha kedved van" translates to "Do me a favor, if you feel like it," making the request less demanding. It's a versatile word that adds a nuance of personal feeling to Hungarian speech.
