bízni

Bízni is a Hungarian verb meaning to trust, to have confidence in someone or something, or to rely on them. It can take a person (bízni vkiben/vkiben) or a situation or thing (vmiben, abban) as its object. The sense ranges from general trust to reliance on someone’s abilities or on the outcome of events.

In use, bízni can express trust in a person, often with the pronoun benne or in someone’s abilities, as well as trust in a future outcome by using constructions like abban, hogy. It is usually contrasted with hinni (to believe) and with megbízni, which emphasizes entrusting someone with something or relying on their actions. The verb’s nuance is closer to confidence or reliance than to mere belief.

Conjugation and forms: én bízom, te bízol, ő bízik; mi bízunk, ti bíztok, ők bíznak. Imperative: bízz!; negative: ne bízz. Related noun: a bizalom (trust, confidence). Related verb: megbízni (to entrust, to rely on someone with a task). The phrase abban bízom abban, hogy… is commonly used to express hope about a future outcome.

Examples:

- Bízom benne, hogy megoldjuk a problémát. (I trust/hope we will solve the problem.)

- Ő mindig bízott a saját képességeiben. (He always trusted in his own abilities.)

- Abban bízom, hogy együtt sikerül. (I trust that we will succeed together.)

Bízni is a staple verb in everyday Hungarian, signaling personal confidence, reliance, and expectation.
