feladom

Feladom is the first-person singular present indicative form of the Hungarian verb feladni. The verb carries several related senses, including to surrender or give up, to hand in or mail something, and more broadly to deliver or submit. The prefix fel- attaches to adni (to give), creating verbs that emphasize delivering to a recipient or completing an action.

Common uses include:

- surrender or yield in a contest or struggle, as in Feladom a harcot.

- abandon an attempt or effort, as in Feladom a kísérletet.

- hand in or post an item, as in Feladom a levelet (I post the letter).

- with a figurative sense, to give up hope or resolve, as in Feladom a reményt.

Conjugation in the present tense (indicative) is as follows:

- én feladom

- te feladod

- ő feladja

- mi feladjuk

- ti feladjátok

- ők feladják

Usage notes:

- Feladom frequently appears with a direct object in the accusative case, such as a levelet (the letter) or a harcot (the fight).

- The phrase can stand alone as a short admission of defeat, for example, Feladom.

- In other contexts, the same verb root appears in compounds or with different prefixes (for example, feladni a levelet to post a letter, or megadni a választ to provide an answer).

Etymology:

Feladni derives from adni (to give) with the prefix fel-, which adds nuances of delivering, submitting, or completing an action.
