tanulnának

tanulnának is the conditional tense, plural form of the Hungarian verb tanulni, meaning "to learn". It describes an action that would happen or be possible under certain conditions, but is not currently happening.

The structure of the conditional mood in Hungarian involves adding the suffix -n to the verb stem, followed by the personal pronoun endings. For the verb tanulni, the stem is "tanul". Thus, the conditional stem becomes "tanuln". Adding the plural ending "-nak/-nek" (which becomes "-nának" in this context) and then the third-person plural ending "-nak/-nek" results in the form "tanulnának". This translates to "they would learn" or "they would study".

This form is used in hypothetical sentences. For example, "Ha lenne idejük, tanulnának" translates to "If they had time, they would learn." The conditional mood expresses a degree of uncertainty or a hypothetical situation, differentiating it from the indicative mood which states facts or definite actions. The meaning of "tanulnának" is therefore intrinsically tied to the conditional nature of the sentence in which it appears.
