gondolnak

Gondolnak is a Hungarian verb form that expresses the idea of thinking or assuming, equivalent to "they think" in English. It is the present indicative, third-person plural form of the verb gondolni, meaning "to think" or "to suppose." The base form gondolni is a regular verb, and its present tense forms are: én gondolok, te gondolsz, ő gondol, mi gondolunk, ti gondoltok, ők gondolnak. Thus, gondolnak is used whenever the subject is plural.

In use, gondolnak typically conveys belief, opinion, or consideration about something. It can introduce a clause with hogy to report what is thought, for example: "Gondolnak, hogy ez jó ötlet" or more fully, "Gondolnak, hogy ez egy jó ötlet." It can also pair with direct objects or prepositional phrases, as in "Gondolnak rá" (they think about it) or "Gondolnak valamire" (they think about something).

Beyond the present tense, related forms include gondoltak for the past tense (they thought) and gondolnának for the conditional (they would think). The verb also participates in common constructions such as "Gondolkodnak" (they think in the sense of reasoning), which is a related but distinct verb.

Gondolnak is a basic, frequently used verb in Hungarian, appropriate for describing collective thinking, beliefs, or considerations among multiple subjects.
