Figyelmeztetés várható.

Hungarian often leaves out van (is) in the present tense, third person singular when the predicate is a noun or an adjective-like word.

So in this sentence:

• figyelmeztetés = warning
• várható = expected / can be expected / likely

The structure is basically:

• Warning [is] expected.

There is no separate word for is here, and that is completely normal in Hungarian.

Várható means something like:

• expected
• can be expected
• likely
• anticipated

It comes from the verb vár, which basically means to wait or to expect, depending on context.

In official or informational language, várható is very common for saying that something is likely to happen:

• Eső várható. = Rain is expected.
• Késés várható. = Delay is expected.
• Forgalomnövekedés várható. = Increased traffic is expected.

So it sounds a bit formal and impersonal.

Yes. Figyelmeztetés is the subject, and it is in the nominative singular.

There is no special subject ending here. The basic dictionary form is already being used:

• figyelmeztetés = warning

The predicate is várható, which describes the subject.

So grammatically the sentence is structured like:

• [Subject] + [predicate adjective/participle]
• Figyelmeztetés várható.

Hungarian often leaves out the article in short, general, headline-like, or official statements.

So Figyelmeztetés várható sounds like:

• an announcement
• a notice
• a weather/service alert
• a formal system message

If you said A figyelmeztetés várható, that would usually suggest the warning in a more specific sense, and it would sound less like a concise official notice.

So the article is omitted because the sentence is general and informational, almost like a bulletin headline.

Because Figyelmeztetés várható is a full sentence, while várható figyelmeztetés is usually a noun phrase.

Compare:

• Figyelmeztetés várható. = A warning is expected.
• Várható figyelmeztetés = an expected warning / a warning that is expected

In the second version, várható directly modifies the noun, like an adjective.

So:

• figyelmeztetés várható = statement
• várható figyelmeztetés = phrase

That is a very important difference in Hungarian.

Yes, it is possible, but it changes the feel.

Várható a figyelmeztetés is more marked and usually more contextual. It can sound like:

• The warning is indeed expected
• As for the warning, it is expected

It is less neutral than Figyelmeztetés várható.

So if you are learning the default official-style pattern, Figyelmeztetés várható is the safest model.

The difference is mainly certainty and style.

• Figyelmeztetés lesz. = There will be a warning.
• Figyelmeztetés várható. = A warning is expected / likely.

Lesz is more direct and definite: it says the warning will happen.

Várható is more cautious and institutional: it says the warning is anticipated, but it may still depend on conditions or official confirmation.

That is why várható is very common in forecasts, alerts, and formal notices.

Yes, it sounds formal, impersonal, and official.

You would commonly see it in:

• weather alerts
• transport announcements
• public safety notices
• automated system messages
• administrative or institutional language

In everyday conversation, a speaker might say something more personal or less formal, for example:

• Lehet, hogy figyelmeztetés lesz. = There might be a warning.
• Valószínűleg figyelmeztetést adnak ki. = They will probably issue a warning.

So Figyelmeztetés várható is natural, but especially in public-information contexts.

It comes from the verb figyelmeztet, which means to warn.

A simplified breakdown is:

• figyelmeztet = to warn
• figyelmeztetés = warning

The ending -és / -ás often creates a noun referring to an action or result, similar to English noun formations like warning, announcement, decision, depending on the word.

So if you know the verb figyelmeztet, it becomes easier to remember figyelmeztetés.

A simple learner-friendly pronunciation guide is:

• Figyelmeztetés ≈ FI-dyel-mez-te-taysh
• várható ≈ VAAR-ha-toe

A few important points:

• Stress in Hungarian normally falls on the first syllable of each word:
  • FI-gyelmeztetés
  • VÁR-ható
• gy is a soft consonant, somewhat like the dy in British-style duke for some speakers, though not exactly.
• á is a long vowel.
• ó is also a long vowel.
• sz is pronounced like English s.
• Hungarian spelling is very regular, so once you learn the sound values, pronunciation becomes much easier.

Yes, very often. This is a very useful pattern.

Examples:

• Eső várható. = Rain is expected.
• Havazás várható. = Snow is expected.
• Késés várható. = Delay is expected.
• Zivatar várható. = A thunderstorm is expected.
• Áremelkedés várható. = A price increase is expected.

So you can learn [noun] + várható as a productive pattern meaning:

• [something] is expected
• [something] is likely

It is especially common in formal, forecast, and announcement language.
