Hungarian → Grammar → Aspect and mood combinations

As a Hungarian language teacher, I always emphasize the importance of mastering verb tenses, aspects, moods, and their combinations. In this lesson, we will explore the different combinations of verb tense aspect and mood in Hungarian. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to understand and use these verb structures in sentences.

Verb aspect

As we have learned in a previous lesson, Hungarian verbs have two aspects: perfective and imperfective. The perfective aspect indicates that an action has been completed while the imperfective aspect indicates an ongoing action or state. To express the perfective aspect, we use the -ta/-tte suffixes while for the imperfective aspect, we use the -ni/-ani suffixes.

For example:

Hungarian Pronunciation English
Tanul-om [ˈtɒnulom] I am studying (imperfective)
Tanul-tam [ˈtɒnultɒm] I studied (perfective)

Verb mood

Hungarian verbs have three moods: indicative, imperative, and conditional. The indicative mood is used for stating facts or making declarations. The imperative mood is used for commands or requests. The conditional mood is used for expressing a condition or a hypothetical situation.

For example:

Hungarian Pronunciation English
Dolgoz-om [ˈdoʎɡozom] I work (indicative)
Dolgozz! [ˈdoʎɡoz] Work! (imperative)
Dolgoz-nék [ˈdoʎɡozneːk] I would work (conditional)

Combining aspect and mood

Hungarian verb structures can combine different aspects and moods to create specific meanings.

Imperfective mood + indicative mood

The combination of the imperfective and indicative moods expresses ongoing actions or states.

Hungarian Pronunciation English
Ír-ok [ˈiːrok] I am writing (imperfective + indicative)
Főz-öl [ˈføːzøl] You are cooking (imperfective + indicative)
Dolgoz-ik [ˈdoʎɡoziːk] He/She/It is working (imperfective + indicative)

Perfective mood + indicative mood

The combination of the perfective and indicative moods expresses completed actions or states.

Hungarian Pronunciation English
Megír-tam [ˈmɛɡiːrtɒm] I have written (perfective + indicative)
Megfőz-tél [ˈmɛɡføːztɛːl] You have cooked (perfective + indicative)
Megdolgoz-tak [ˈmɛɡdoʎɡoztɒk] They have worked (perfective + indicative)

Imperfective mood + conditional mood

The combination of the imperfective and conditional moods expresses ongoing actions or states in hypothetical or conditional situations.

Hungarian Pronunciation English
Ír-nék [ˈiːrneːk] I would be writing (imperfective+conditional)
Főz-nél [ˈføːznɛːl] You would be cooking (imperfective+conditional)
Dolgoz-na [ˈdoʎɡoznɒ] He/She/It would be working (imperfective+conditional)

Perfective mood + conditional mood

The combination of the perfective and conditional moods expresses completed actions or states in hypothetical or conditional situations.

Hungarian Pronunciation English
Megír-tam volna [ˈmɛɡiːrtɒmvɒlnɒ] I would have written (perfective+conditional)
Megfőz-tél volna [ˈmɛɡføːztɛːlvɒlnɒ] You would have cooked (perfective+conditional)
Megdolgoz-tak volna [ˈmɛɡdoʎɡoztɒkvɒlnɒ] They would have worked (perfective+conditional)

I recommend practicing these verb structures with different verbs and contexts to improve your skills in using them.
