"Have" is a very essential verb in English and many other languages. It has many different usages, such as indicating possession, obligation, or completed actions. In Hungarian, "have" can be expressed by several verbs with different nuances. So, let's dive in and explore them! | ||

In Hungarian, when talking about possession, we use the verb "van". It literally translates to "is/are" and "there is/there are", but can also mean "has/have" in the sense of possessing something. | |||
Let's see some examples: | |||

|} | |||
Note how the verb "van" is used in these sentences to indicate possession. | |||
== Completed actions == | |||
In Hungarian, we use the suffix "-t/-tt" to indicate completed actions. This suffix is attached to the verb if the action has been completed. If you want to use "have" to indicate completed actions in Hungarian, you can use the verb "teljesít/-ett". | |||
Let's see some examples: | |||

As you can see, we use the verb "teljesít/-ett" when we want to indicate that the action is completed. | |||
== Obligation == | |||
When we want to express an obligation in Hungarian, we can use the verb "kell". "Kell" literally means "must" or "have to", and is conjugated with the respective pronouns. | |||
{| class="wikitable" | |||

|- | |- | ||
| | | Nekem kell mennem. || /nɛkɛm kɛl mɛnnɛm/ || I have to go. | ||

Hi Hungarian learners! 😊
In this lesson, we will learn how to use "have" in the Hungarian language. "Have" is a very essential verb in English and many other languages. It has many different usages, such as indicating possession, obligation, or completed actions. In Hungarian, "have" can be expressed by several verbs with different nuances. So, let's dive in and explore them!
Possession
In Hungarian, when talking about possession, we use the verb "van". It literally translates to "is/are" and "there is/there are", but can also mean "has/have" in the sense of possessing something.
Let's see some examples:

| Van egy kutyám. | /vɑn ɛɟ kutiːaːm/ | I have a dog. |
| Van egy autóm. | /vɑn ɛɟ ɒutom/ | I have a car. |
| Van egy otthonom. | /vɑn ɛɟ otthonom/ | I have a home. |
Note how the verb "van" is used in these sentences to indicate possession.
Completed actions
In Hungarian, we use the suffix "-t/-tt" to indicate completed actions. This suffix is attached to the verb if the action has been completed. If you want to use "have" to indicate completed actions in Hungarian, you can use the verb "teljesít/-ett".
Let's see some examples:

| Idén elvégeztem az egyetemet. | /iːdeːn ɛlveːɡɛztɛm ɒz ɛɟɛtɛmɛt/ | I've finished the university this year. |
As you can see, we use the verb "teljesít/-ett" when we want to indicate that the action is completed.
