hiszek

Hiszek is the first-person singular present indicative form of the Hungarian verb hinni, which means to believe or to trust. It expresses the speaker’s belief or faith in someone or something and is commonly used with prepositional phrases or dependent clauses, for example: Én hiszek benned (I believe in you) or Én hiszek abban, amit mondasz (I believe in what you say).

Conjugation and usage details: In the present tense, the verb pairs with the subject pronouns as follows: én hiszek, te hiszel, ő hisz, mi hiszünk, ti hisztek, ők hisznek. The form is typically used without an explicit subject pronoun, since the verb ending already marks the person. It often appears with objects or complement clauses, such as benned, benne, abban, or hogy-clause constructions like hogy igazad van.

Nuance and related forms: Hiszek conveys belief, trust, or faith rather than a mere opinion or guess. For a more tentative conclusion or opinion, Hungarian tends to use other verbs such as gondol vagy hiszen a frázi úgy hiszem (I think so) depending on context. The base verb hinni is related in meaning and usage to other expressions of belief and confidence in Hungarian.

Etymology and classification: The word belongs to the Hungarian lexicon as a conjugated form of hinni, a core verb meaning to believe. The form hiszek illustrates how Hungarian marks person and tense on the verb stem, a pattern shared across many present-tense forms in the language.
