megkívánjuk

Megkívánjuk is a Hungarian verb that translates to "we crave" or "we desire" in English. It describes a strong, often sudden, feeling of wanting something, particularly food or a specific taste. The verb is derived from the root word "kíván," meaning "to want" or "to wish." The prefix "meg-" indicates a completed action or a more intense feeling. It is typically used in the first-person plural form, indicating a shared or collective craving. For instance, one might say "Megkívánjuk a fagyit" which translates to "We crave ice cream." This implies a mutual and perhaps spontaneous desire for this particular treat. The feeling conveyed by "megkívánjuk" is often more visceral and immediate than a simple "want." It can be used metaphorically, though its primary application is related to physical appetites. The verb is conjugated to reflect different persons and tenses, but the "megkívánjuk" form specifically refers to the present tense, first-person plural.
