Reménykedik is a Hungarian verb that translates to "hopes" or "is hoping" in English. It conveys a sense of anticipation or expectation for something positive to occur in the future. The verb is derived from the noun "remény," which means "hope."

The usage of "reménykedik" typically implies a passive stance, where the subject is waiting for an outcome rather than actively working to achieve it, although it can be used in contexts where action is also present. It often suggests a degree of uncertainty about the outcome, but with a leaning towards a favorable result.

For example, one might say "A beteg reménykedik a gyógyulásban," meaning "The patient hopes for recovery." This phrase indicates the patient's desire and expectation for getting well. Another example could be "A gyerekek reménykednek a karácsonyban," translating to "The children are hoping for Christmas," expressing their eager anticipation of the holiday.

The verb can also be used in negative contexts, such as "Nem reménykedem benne," meaning "I don't hope for it" or "I have no hope for it." This signifies a lack of positive expectation.
