állaggal

Állaggal is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to hold," "to have," or "to possess." It is commonly used in everyday language to indicate ownership or the state of something. For example, "Van egy házam" translates to "I have a house," where "van" is the third-person singular present tense of "állaggal." The verb can also be used to express a condition or characteristic. "Az étel jó állagú" means "The food has a good consistency," implying that the food possesses a desirable texture.

The conjugation of "állaggal" follows typical Hungarian verb patterns, changing endings based on person, number, and tense. In the present tense, common forms include "van" (he/she/it has), "vannak" (they have), "vanok" (I have - archaic/dialectal), and "vagyok" (I am - though this is a separate verb, its usage can sometimes overlap in colloquial speech when expressing states of being). In the past tense, forms like "volt" (he/she/it was/had) and "voltak" (they were/had) are used. The future tense is often formed using auxiliary verbs or specific modal constructions.

Beyond simple possession, "állaggal" can also imply maintenance or preservation. For instance, "Az épület jó állagban van" means "The building is in good condition," suggesting that its state or "állag" is well-maintained. The noun form "állag" itself refers to condition, state, or consistency. Therefore, understanding "állaggal" provides insight into how Hungarians express possession, existence, and the characteristics of objects and people.
