fogadsz

Fogadsz is the second-person singular present tense form of the Hungarian verb fogad. The root fogad has several related meanings, including to receive or accept something offered, to host or welcome guests, and in some contexts to wager or bet. The exact sense of fogadsz depends on the object and the surrounding words.

In everyday Hungarian, the sense “to accept” a proposal or invitation is more commonly expressed with elves, as in elfogadni. Fogad is used when emphasizing the act of receiving or hosting, especially in contexts of hospitality or direct, spoken interaction. The form fogadsz is used when addressing someone informally and often appears in questions or statements about accepting or hosting something, for example fogadsz el ezt az ajánlatot? or fogadsz vendéget?

Grammar notes: fogad is a regular verb; the present tense 2nd person singular form is fogadsz, with other common forms including fogadok (1st person), fogadunk (we), fogadtok (you plural), and fogadnak (they). The verb can pair with a direct object to indicate what is being received or hosted, and with particles to shift nuance (for example, adding el- to form elfogad- for a stricter sense of acceptance).

Examples:

- Fogadsz el egy meghívást? Do you accept an invitation?

- Fogadsz vendéget? Are you hosting a guest?
