Meghívni

Meghívni is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to invite" in English. It is a fundamental word used in everyday social interactions, signifying the act of asking someone to join an event, a place, or an activity. The verb is conjugated according to the subject performing the action and the tense of the invitation. For example, "meghívlak" means "I invite you," while "meghívtunk" means "we invited."

The act of inviting is a significant part of Hungarian culture, often involving detailed planning and consideration for the guest. Invitations can be formal, such as for weddings or official ceremonies, or informal, like a casual invitation to a friend's home for dinner or a gathering. The context of the invitation dictates the level of formality in both the request and the expected response.

Beyond literal invitations to events, "meghívni" can also be used figuratively. For instance, one might say a particular situation "meghívja" a certain outcome, implying that the situation naturally leads to or encourages that outcome. This broader usage highlights the verb's versatility in expressing a sense of drawing something or someone in. The concept of "meghívni" therefore encompasses a range of social and even abstract invitations.
