dobálni

Dobálni is a Hungarian verb in the infinitive form, meaning to throw or to toss. It describes the act of propelling an object through the air, typically with a hand or arm motion. The verb is transitive and usually takes a direct object, as in labdát dobálni (to throw a ball). In everyday speech, dobálni can imply casual or repeated throwing, but it can also refer to purposeful throwing in sport or play, depending on context.

Derivatives and related forms include dobás, the noun for a single throw, and dobálás, the act of throwing or tossing. The adjective dobálható means throwable or capable of being thrown. These related terms are common in discussions of games, sports, and everyday activities involving throwing.

Usage in language and nuance: dobálni is used across a range of registers from informal to instructional. It often conveys a sense of repetition or lightness, especially when paired with nouns for objects that are easy to throw. In more formal or technical contexts, writers may use synonyms or more specific terms for particular kinds of throwing, but dobálni remains widely understood and versatile.

In sports and physical activities, the concept of throwing is often expressed with compounds or field-specific terms, such as diszkoszvetés (discus throw) or gerelyhajítás (javelin throw). The verb dobálni can appear in descriptions of training or demonstrations, or in casual remarks about athletes throwing implements during practice or competition.
