GermanEdit
PronunciationEdit
VerbEdit
hall
HungarianEdit
PronunciationEdit
Etymology 1Edit
From the conflation[1] of Proto-Uralic *kontale- (compare Old Hungarian hadl (“hear”), Mansi хӯнтли (hūntli), Finnish kuunnella) and Proto-Uralic *kule- (compare Mansi хӯлуӈкве (hūluňkve) and Finnish kuulla).
VerbEdit
hall
- (intransitive) to hear (to perceive sounds through the ear)
- (transitive) to hear (to perceive with the ear)
- Hallottam egy hangot a szobából. ― I heard a sound from the room.
Usage notesEdit
This verb is a member of one of those (few) quasi-homonymous verb pairs that exist both with and without an -ik ending. All (intransitive) suffixed forms of these pairs are identical (sometimes they can even have derived forms that coincide), with the exception of their dictionary form (the third-person singular indicative present, with or without -ik). However, the meaning of these pairs is usually distinct, sometimes unrelated. Examples include (fel)áldoz–(le)áldozik, bán–bánik, (meg)bíz–(meg)bízik, ér–érik, esz (rare)–eszik, hajol–hajlik, (felül)múl–(el)múlik, (hozzá)nyúl–nyúlik, (el)vesz–(el)veszik~(el)vész, and tör–törik (along with their verbal prefixes), hall–hallik (archaic), érez–érzik (archaic), sometimes with some difference: (el)hibáz–hibádzik, (le)torkol–torkollik. Therefore one may well need to check the context and the arguments to ascertain which member of the verb pair is relevant.
