tervezne

Tervezne is the third-person singular conditional form of the Hungarian verb tervez, meaning "to plan" or "to design." It is used to express hypothetical or potential actions ("he/she/it would plan") and, in polite address, to form courteous questions or offers when speaking to a single interlocutor (Ön tervezne? — "Would you plan?").

Phonology and formation: tervezne is pronounced with stress on the first syllable (TER-vez-ne). The base noun terv ("plan") forms the verb tervez with a verbalizing suffix; the conditional mood is marked by the suffix -ne/-ná combined with person-number endings. For tervez, the conditional third-person singular appears as tervezne, while other persons follow the regular conditional paradigm (terveznék, terveznél, terveznénk, terveznétek, terveznének).

Syntax and usage: As a conditional, tervezne appears in subordinate clauses and main clauses that convey possibility, desire, or hypothetical scenarios (Ha lenne több időm, tervezne egy nagyobb projektet — "If he had more time, he would plan a larger project"). In polite speech it softens requests or invitations (Mit tervezne a következő lépésként? — "What would you (polite) plan as the next step?").

Etymology and related forms: tervez derives from the noun terv and is part of a productive class of Hungarian verbs formed from nouns. Related forms include tervezés (planning), tervező (planner/designer), and tervezett (planned).
