maradnánk

Maradnánk is the first-person plural present conditional form of the Hungarian verb maradni, meaning to stay or remain. It expresses a hypothetical action, equivalent to “we would stay” in English. As a finite verb form, it is used in present- or future-oriented conditional contexts and in polite or tentative statements.

Formation and forms: Maradnánk is built from the stem marad- plus the conditional mood suffix -nánk, which marks mood and the first-person plural. The base verb is maradni (to stay). Other persons form as maradnál (you would stay), maradna (he/she would stay), maradnátok (you would stay), and maradnának (they would stay). In Hungarian, the conditional can follow or accompany if clauses (ha) and is also used for polite suggestions or tentative plans.

Usage: Maradnánk appears in sentences describing a hypothetical action or offering a suggestion. Examples include: Ha maradnánk még egy napot, meg tudnánk nézni a kiállítást. Maradnánk nálatok egy éjszakára. The form can also function in dialogue as a soft proposal, for example in a question like: Maradnánk itt egy kicsit?

Notes: Maradnánk is a verb form rather than an independent lexical item; its meaning derives from maradni plus the conditional suffix. It is commonly used in everyday Hungarian to discuss possibilities, plans, or polite invitations.
