Nevet

Nevet is a Hungarian verb meaning to laugh. It is used to describe the act of laughing, either aloud or as a reaction to something humorous.

The past tense is formed with standard Hungarian endings; a common first-person singular form is nevettem, meaning "I laughed." Other persons and numbers follow the same bony of the language’s conjugation rules, producing forms such as nevettél, nevetett, nevettünk, nevettetek, nevettek. The verb also has a present participle form nevető and an adverbial form nevetve, used to describe someone who is laughing.

Related forms include nevetés, the noun for laughter, and nevető, an adjective meaning laughing or smiling. Nevetés can refer to the act or result of laughter, while nevető describes a person or moment characterized by laughter. The meanings can be extended metaphorically in humor, storytelling, or casual speech.
