hoffst

Hoffst is primarily recognized as a German verb form. It is the second-person singular present indicative form of the verb hoffen, meaning to hope. In standard German, this form is used with the subject du (you) and appears in sentences where the subject is explicit, such as "Du hoffst auf eine bessere Zukunft."

As a conjugated form, hoffst itself does not function as a standalone lexical item; its meaning is derived from the verb hoffen. The form follows regular weak-verb conjugation patterns in the present tense. In questions or subordinate clauses, it agrees with the second person singular subject, for example: "Hoffst du auf gutes Wetter?" or "Sie sagt, du hoffst." The usage is common in everyday language, poetry, and prose alike, wherever the speaker is addressing another person directly.

Etymology-wise, Hoffst derives from the verb hoffen, which means to hope or to expect. The spelling and inflection reflect standard German orthography and grammar.

There is no widely recognized place or proper noun universally identified as "Hoffst." In most contexts, it is encountered only as a grammatical form rather than as a distinct name or term. For readers seeking linguistic detail, hoffst serves as an example of second-person singular present tense of a regular German verb.
