kívánnál

Kívánnál is a Hungarian verb form. It is the conditional mood, second-person singular conjugation of the verb "kíván," which means "to wish" or "to want." The "-nál/-nél" ending signifies the conditional tense in Hungarian, indicating a hypothetical or possible situation. Therefore, "kívánnál" translates directly to "you would wish" or "you would want."

This form is used in sentences that express a desire or a wish that is dependent on certain conditions. For example, "Ha gazdag lennél, mit kívánnál?" translates to "If you were rich, what would you wish for?" Here, "kívánnál" is used because the act of wishing is conditional on being rich. It can also be used in polite requests or suggestions, softening the imperative. For instance, "Ide hoznál egy pohár vizet?" means "Would you bring me a glass of water?" employing "hoz-" (to bring) in its conditional, second-person singular form.

The usage of "kívánnál" is integral to expressing nuanced desires and hypothetical scenarios within the Hungarian language, reflecting the grammatical structure of conditional statements. It is a common and fundamental conjugation encountered in everyday conversation and written Hungarian.
