Hozzátennék is a Hungarian verb form. It translates to "I would add" or "I would like to add" in English. It is the first-person singular conditional mood of the verb "hozzátesz," which means "to add." The conditional mood in Hungarian is used to express hypothetical situations, wishes, or polite suggestions.

The structure of "hozzátennék" can be broken down into its components. "Hozzá-" is a verbal prefix that often indicates adding something to something else, or making an addition. "-tesz" is the root verb meaning "to put" or "to place," and in this context, it functions as "to add." The "-nnék" ending is the first-person singular conditional suffix. This suffix signifies that the action is being performed by "I" and that it is in a conditional or hypothetical state.

This form is commonly used in conversational Hungarian when someone wants to offer an additional piece of information, express a suggestion politely, or make a hypothetical statement. For example, one might say "Én még egy dolgot hozzátennék" which translates to "I would add one more thing." It conveys a polite and nuanced way of contributing to a discussion or adding to a statement.
