kivárni

kivárni is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to wait for" or "to await" in English. It is often used to express the act of patiently anticipating an event, a person, or a certain outcome. The verb can also imply a sense of endurance or perseverance while waiting for something to happen. For example, one might kivárni a buszt (wait for the bus) or kivárni a döntést (await the decision).

The nuance of kivárni suggests more than just a passive waiting; it can carry a connotation of deliberate patience and the understanding that the desired outcome will eventually materialize. It is commonly used in situations where time is a factor and a period of anticipation is necessary. The verb is derived from the root "vár," meaning "to wait." The prefix "ki-" can add a sense of completion or thoroughness to the act of waiting, implying that one will wait until the very end or until the situation is fully resolved. This makes it a versatile verb in expressing various shades of waiting and anticipation within the Hungarian language.
