Pronunciation edit
Verb edit
van
- (copulative) to be
- Antonym: nem…
- Boldog vagyok. ― I am happy.
- there to be, to exist
- to have; someone (-nak/-nek) has something (-a/-e/-ja/-je)
- Péternek van egy kutyája. ― Peter has a dog.
- to be made (out) of something (with -ból/-ből)
- Synonym: készült
- Ez az ajtó fából van. ― This door is made out of wood.
- (auxiliary, construed with -va/-ve (adverbial participle) of the main verb) to be (indicating the statal passive)
- A lakásom biztosítva van. (from biztosítva ← biztosít) ― My apartment (flat) is (has been) insured.

- 1846, János Arany, translated by Anton N. Nyerges, Toldi[7], canto 6, stanza 13:
- „Szakmány módra van rám mérve minden óra: / Jöttem kegyelmedhez búcsuvevő szóra.”
- “Every hour is measured as though by contract. / I come to bid you now farewell.”
Usage notes edit
The functions of this verb don’t fully overlap with the usage of corresponding verbs of other languages (compare Spanish ser, estar or Thai คือ (kʉʉ), เป็น (bpen), อยู่ (yùu)):
- Van egy törpe a zsebemben. or Törpe van a zsebemben. ― There is a dwarf in my pocket. – existence (used with an indefinite subject)
- [Nekem] van egy zsebtörpém. ― I have a pocket-dwarf. (literally, “[to me] there is a pocket-dwarf-my”) – possession
- A törpe a zsebemben van. ― The dwarf is in my pocket. – location (used with a prepositional phrase in English)
- A törpe jól van. ― The dwarf is well. – state, condition (used with an adverb in English)
- A törpe kicsi ∅. ― The dwarf is small. – copula (used with an adjective or a noun as part of the predicate)
- As we can see, the verb is omitted in the last sentence. It happens only in the given sense and only in the present-tense third-person singular and plural forms (“he/she/it” and “they”):
- 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:
- Béla okos. ― Béla is clever.
- Béla a király. ― Béla is the king.
- Béla egy ember. ― Béla is a human.
- On the other hand, if is or are answers the question where? or how?, these verb forms will appear as usual:
- Béla itt van. ― Béla is here.
- Béla jól van. ― Béla is (feeling) well.
- 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”).
- Béla van annyira erős, hogy felemelje a szekrényt. ― Béla is strong enough to lift the cupboard.
- The forms other than van and vannak are always used.
- Béla okos volt. ― Béla was clever.
- Okos vagyok. ― I am clever.
- In other senses, all forms are used:
- With adverbs and adverbial participles (suffixed -va/-ve)
- Hogy van? ― How is he? (also How are you?, formal singular)
- El van törve. ― It is broken.
- 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”).
- Nincs pénzem. ― I don't have any money.
- Itt sincs étel. ― There 'isn’t any food here 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:
- Béla nem tanár. ― Béla is not a teacher.
(exist, there is, to have): (have is expressed by there is in Hungarian):
- Van egy ház a hegyen. ― There is a house on the mountain.
- Van egy kutyám. ― I have a dog. (literally, “There is a dog-[of]-mine.”)
