demonstrálom

Demonstrálom is a Hungarian verb form and the first-person singular present indicative of the verb demonstrál, meaning to demonstrate, show, or prove. The form is used when the speaker performs a demonstration or provides a proof. Demonstrál is a regular verb of the -ál conjugation, so its common present tense forms are: én demonstrálom, te demonstrálod, ő demonstrálja, mi demonstráljuk, ti demonstráljátok, ők demonstrálják.

Etymology and senses: Demonstrál is a loanword in Hungarian, related to the Western European démontrer/demonstrate, and it carries senses of proving a point, illustrating a method, or showing how something works. The related noun demonstráció denotes a demonstration, which can mean either a proof in a scholarly sense or a public protest event. The noun demonstrálás refers to the act of demonstrating.

Usage notes: In academic, scientific, or argumentative contexts, demonstrálom introduces the act of proving or illustrating a claim. Example: "Demonstrálom, hogy a megoldás működik." In a political context, to demonstrate can also refer to taking part in a protest; in that sense, speakers more often use phrases like "részt veszek egy demonstráción" rather than the simple verb form demonstrálom. The distinction between the proof sense and the protest sense is usually clear from context.
