Lennél

Lennél is the second-person singular conditional mood form of the Hungarian verb lenni, meaning "to be." It expresses hypothetical states and is commonly used in questions and polite requests. In English it corresponds to "you would be" or "would you be."

The form is built from the verb stem len- with the second-person singular conditional suffix -nél. The full present conditional paradigm for lenni is lennék, lennél, lenne, lennénk, lennétek, lennének.

In usage, lennél appears in two principal contexts: (1) in conditional clauses introduced by ha or in hypothetical statements, as in "Ha lennél ott, látnám" (If you were there, I would see you), and (2) in polite requests, often with the particle "szívesen" or "lennél szíves," as in "Lennél szíves, hoznád a könyvet?" (Would you be so kind as to bring the book?). It can also form questions such as "Lennél-e itt?" (Would you be here?).
