Kívánságot

Kívánságot is the accusative singular form of the Hungarian noun kívánság, which means a wish, desire, or request. The base noun kívánság derives from the verb kíván, “to wish,” with the abstract-noun suffix -ság. In everyday language, kívánság can refer to a personal wish, an expressed desire, or a formal petition.

Grammatically, kívánság is a countable noun that forms standard inflections in Hungarian. The accusative singular ending is -ot, yielding kívánságot, used when the wish is the direct object of a verb. In the plural, the accusative form is kívánságokat. Other cases and possessive forms follow regular Hungarian patterns (e.g., kívánságom, kívánságai).

Usage and examples of collocations are common in both informal and formal contexts. Phrases such as kívánságot teljesíteni (to fulfill a wish), kívánságot megfogalmazni (to express a wish or desire), and kívánságot benyújtani (to submit a wish or request) illustrate typical verb-noun combinations. The term also appears in everyday situations, for instance when people voice birthday or well-wishing sentiments; a frequent related expression is jókívánság, meaning “best wishes” or “kind regards.”

In literature and media, kívánság often appears in figurative senses to denote a character’s longing or aspiration, not merely a concrete request. The word remains a common, neutral term for discussing desires, aims, or requests in Hungarian. See also kíván (to wish) and kérése/kérés (request).
