Szenvedi

Szenvedi is not a widely used standalone entry in Hungarian dictionaries. In most contexts, the base verb associated with suffering is szenvedni, meaning to suffer, endure, or undergo hardship. The form szenvedi, when it appears in texts, is typically treated as a inflected or analytical form related to the verb szenvedni rather than as an independent lexeme. Because Hungarian verbs are highly inflected, many finite forms of the verb are discussed in grammars and morphology notes rather than listed as separate dictionary entries.

Linguistic usage and meaning

The core semantic field of szenvedi overlaps with themes of pain, hardship, endurance, and affliction. In ordinary speech and writing, one would normally use the infinitive szenvedni or the conjugated forms of szenved (for example, szenvedek, szenvedsz, szenved), depending on the subject and tense. When szenvedi appears in texts, it is usually within a grammatical discussion, an example in a paradigmatic table, or in older or more literary constructions. It is not commonly used as a base form for everyday communication; instead, speakers rely on the standard infinitive or the present/ past tense conjugations of szenved.

Other uses

Outside of grammar and lexicography, szenvedi can occur as a surname or place name in rare cases. When encountered as a proper noun, it is treated as a name rather than a verb, and its meaning is determined by context and etymology of the name rather than by a direct lexical sense.
