Usage notes
- Omission of the present-tense third-person singular and plural forms:
- When used with an adjective (qualification) or a noun (whether with the definite or the indefinite article), i.e. when it answers the question who? or what? (including what …… like?) or which?, the (indicative present third-person) forms van and vannak are omitted:
- On the other hand, if is or are answers the question where? or how?, these verb forms will appear as usual:
- It also appears if van/vannak is the focus of the sentence. This happens when the sentence means that the property described by the adjective (e.g. strength) reaches or exceeds some specified level and this is emphasized by the speaker. In this case, the adjective is preceded by a word like olyan (“such”), annyira (“that much”), elég (“enough”).
- The forms other than van and vannak are always used.
- In other senses, all forms are used:
- With adverbs and adverbial participles (suffixed -va/-ve)
- When used with an adjective (qualification) or a noun (whether with the definite or the indefinite article), i.e. when it answers the question who? or what? (including what …… like?) or which?, the (indicative present third-person) forms van and vannak are omitted:
- The negative form is nincs or nincsen and sincs or sincsen (the latter two expressing 'is not … either').
- If the predicate includes an adjective or a noun, that is, if it answers the question who, what etc. (see above), the third person present forms are omitted again, only nem remains:
(exist, there is, to have): (have is expressed by there is in Hungarian):
