távollév

távollév is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to be far away" or "to be absent." It is a compound verb formed from the adverb távol, meaning "far," and the verb lév, which is a form of lenni, meaning "to be." The verb expresses a state of physical distance or lack of presence from a particular location or person.

The verb távollév conjugates like other Hungarian verbs, with endings indicating person, number, and tense. For example, in the present tense, "én távol vagyok" means "I am far away," and "te távol vagy" means "you are far away." In the past tense, "ő távol volt" means "he/she/it was far away." The future tense is formed using the auxiliary verb fog, such as "mi távol leszünk," meaning "we will be far away."

The concept of távollév can be applied to both literal and figurative distances. Literally, it describes being physically distant from a place, as in "A barátom távol él" (My friend lives far away). Figuratively, it can refer to a lack of emotional connection or attentiveness, such as "A gondolatai távol voltak" (His thoughts were far away). The term is also used in legal or official contexts to denote absence, for instance, in relation to a court hearing or a work schedule. Its usage emphasizes the absence or remoteness of a subject from a specified context.
