elvárnám

elvárnám is a Hungarian verb that translates to "I would expect" or "I would count on" in English. It is the conditional form of the verb elvár, which means "to expect" or "to anticipate." The suffix "-nám" indicates the first-person singular conditional mood.

The verb elvárnám is used to express a desire, a hope, or a reasoned expectation for something to happen, often in a polite or indirect manner. It implies that the speaker believes a certain outcome is reasonable or justified. For example, someone might say "elvárnám, hogy megérts" which translates to "I would expect you to understand." This suggests that understanding is a reasonable expectation in the given situation.

It can also be used to express a personal wish or a request that is framed as an expectation. For instance, "elvárnám a segítségedet" means "I would count on your help." This implies that the speaker is relying on the other person's assistance.

The nuance of elvárnám lies in its conditional nature, suggesting that the expectation is contingent on certain circumstances or that it is a polite way of stating a desire rather than a direct demand. It carries a tone of anticipation and often implies a sense of entitlement or a belief in fairness.
