Várnak

Várnak is the third-person plural present indicative form of the Hungarian verb várni, meaning to wait or to expect. It indicates that multiple subjects are currently waiting for something or are in the act of expecting a particular outcome. The form often takes a direct object in the accusative to specify what is awaited, for example várnak egy választ or várják a vendégek érkezését.

Common usage notes:

- Várnak can denote physical waiting or more abstract expectancy, such as awaiting a decision, outcome, or result.

- The phrase generally follows a subject in the sentence, with the object that is being waited for appearing after the verb, often without a preposition, e.g., A csapat várják az eredményt (they are waiting for the result).

Distinction from other forms:

- Várnak is not related to the noun vár (castle). The noun’s plural is várak, not várnak.

- The verb várni is an irregular in the sense of its personal endings, with várok (I wait), vársz (you wait), várunk (we wait), vártok (you all wait), várnak (they wait).

Examples:

- A vendégek érkezését várják. (They are waiting for the guests’ arrival.)

- Mindenki a választ várja. (Everyone is waiting for the answer.)

In summary, várnak is a standard present-tense form used for plural subjects, conveying ongoing waiting or anticipation for something specified by the accompanying object.
