üdvözölni

"Üdvözölni" is a Hungarian verb. It primarily translates to "to greet" or "to welcome" in English. The verb is used in various social contexts to acknowledge the arrival of someone or to initiate an interaction.

The basic form of the verb is "üdvözölni." Its conjugation follows standard Hungarian verb patterns. For instance, in the present tense, first-person singular, it would be "köszöntök" (I greet). In the past tense, first-person singular, it is "köszöntöttem" (I greeted). The future tense would be "köszönteni fogok" (I will greet).

The verb can be used in both formal and informal settings. When welcoming guests to one's home, one might say "Önt/téged üdvözöllek" (I greet you, formal/informal). It is also used to express general salutations, such as at the beginning of a speech or public address. The root of the word, "üdv," relates to well-being or salvation, suggesting an older, more profound sense of wishing someone good.

Beyond the literal act of greeting, "üdvözölni" can also imply offering good wishes or expressing a positive sentiment towards someone. For example, one might "üdvözölni" a new initiative or a successful outcome. The nuances of its usage depend heavily on the context in which it is employed.
