Megígérek

Megígérek is a Hungarian verb that translates to "I promise" in English. It is the first-person singular present indicative form of the verb ígérni, meaning "to promise." The verb is used to express a commitment or assurance to perform a future action or to adhere to a certain behavior.

The act of making a promise, or ígéreti, carries significant social weight in Hungarian culture, often implying a strong sense of obligation. The verb can be used in various contexts, from casual assurances between friends to more formal declarations. For example, one might say "Megígérem, hogy ott leszek" which means "I promise I will be there."

The structure of the verb conjugates according to Hungarian grammar rules. The root is "ígér," and the suffix "-ek" indicates the first-person singular. Other forms include "megígérsz" (you promise) and "megígérjük" (we promise). The prefix "meg-" often indicates the completion or perfection of an action, giving the verb a sense of finality and certainty to the promise being made. When a promise is broken, it can have social repercussions, highlighting the importance placed on fulfilling one's word.
