Reagálna

Reagálna is a Hungarian verb form that represents the conditional mood of reagálni, meaning to react or respond. It is used to express hypothetical or conditional actions, often in polite requests, hypothetical statements, or indirect speech.

Morphology and usage: The base stem reagál- combines with the conditional suffix to produce reagálna, which corresponds to “he/she would react.” The form is commonly encountered in written and spoken Hungarian to frame a potential action. Other persons have their own conditional forms, such as reagálnál (you would react) and reagálnánk (we would react). The conditional mood helps convey nuance such as doubt, politeness, or consideration of alternate outcomes.

Examples:

- Ha reagálna a felkérésre, meg tudnánk beszélni a részleteket. (If he would respond to the invitation, we could discuss the details.)

- Reagálna-e a e-mailre, amit küldtem? (Would you respond to the e-mail I sent?)

Etymology and related forms: Reagálni and reagál- derive from the Hungarian vocabulary for response or reaction, with reagálna as the conditional form. The noun reagálás means a reaction or response, and related adjectives include reagáló (reactive). The verb belongs to the broader family of international terms for “to react,” often borrowed into Hungarian from European languages and integrated with Hungarian morphology.
