vágyni

Vágyni is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to long for," "to crave," or "to desire" in English. It expresses a strong, often persistent, feeling of wanting something that is absent or unattainable. The verb can be used in a wide range of contexts, from simple desires for food or comfort to deep emotional yearnings for love, success, or a different life.

The intensity of the feeling conveyed by "vágyni" can vary. It can describe a mild wish or a profound ache. The object of the longing can be anything – a person, a place, an experience, or even an abstract concept like peace or freedom. For instance, one might "vágyni" for home when far away, or "vágyni" for a lost loved one. It can also be used in a more general sense, such as "vágyni a jobbra" (to crave a job) or "vágyni a nyárra" (to long for summer).

The grammatical usage of "vágyni" typically involves a preposition, often "után" (after), to indicate what is being longed for. For example, "Vágyom a szabadság után" means "I long for freedom." However, it can also be used transitively with a direct object in certain literary or poetic contexts. The verb carries a sense of emotional weight and is a common expression of human wants and aspirations.
