jär

jár is a Hungarian verb form used as the third-person singular present tense of the verb járni, meaning to go or to walk. In addition, jár is commonly used to express habitual or repeated movement between places or routines, often with an infinitive following it (járni + infinitive) to indicate regular activity.

Conjugation and forms: The present indicative forms are: én járok, te jársz, ő jár, mi járunk, ti jártok, ők járnak. The third-person singular form is jár. The past tense takes jártam, jártál, járt, jártunk, jártátok, jártak. Imperative forms include járj (singular), járjunk (first plural), and járjatok (plural), with the negative imperatives ne járj, ne járjunk, ne járjatok. The conditional mood is járna (e.g., ha járna), and the future can be formed with lesz járni or öngyötti szerkezetek nélkül, depending on context.

Usage notes: jár is used for habitual actions, such as going to work regularly (Ő minden nap jár dolgozni). It can denote movement between places in a general sense, or the act of walking. It often appears with movement verbs like séta or közlekedés, and contrasts with meg- forms like megy, which more directly indicate a single, concrete act of going. In everyday speech, jár can also be complemented by other infinitives to express routines (jár olvasni, jár tanulni).

Relation to related terms: járni as a base verb is related to other forms and compounds by root jár-, and is distinct from the noun járat, which denotes a service or route in public transport. The two share a root but belong to different parts of speech and meanings.
