felfogod

Felfogod is a Hungarian verb form that translates to “you understand” or “you grasp” in English. It is the second-person singular present indicative of the verb felfogni, which means to comprehend, to perceive, or to grasp something mentally. The prefix fel- combined with fogni-style roots in this word conveys the idea of grasping something fully or bringing it into one’s understanding.

Etymology and formation

The word derives from felfogni, with fel- serving as a directional or intensifying prefix and fogni (historically “to seize”) used figuratively to mean understanding. Felfogod, as the present-tense form, is used when addressing one person informally.

Grammar and usage

Felfogod is used in direct address, typically in casual speech. It can function as a direct question or a declarative assertion depending on intonation: “Felfogod, mire gondolok?” or “Felfogod, hogy ez fontos?” It may carry a blunt or challenging nuance when used to prompt confirmation of comprehension, especially if the speaker suspects the listener is not fully paying attention.

Related forms
