A válasz holnap várható.

Várható means something like expected, anticipated, or likely to arrive/be available.

It comes from the verb vár, which usually means to wait or to expect, plus the suffix -ható/-hető, which often gives the sense can be ... or is expected/possible.

So A válasz holnap várható is not literally about someone actively waiting; it means that the answer is expected tomorrow.

In official or neutral style, várható is very common for things like:

• Eső várható. = Rain is expected.
• Késés várható. = A delay is expected.

Hungarian often leaves out the verb to be in the present tense, especially in the third person singular and third person plural when the predicate is a noun, adjective, or adjective-like form.

Here, várható functions like an adjective/predicate, so van is omitted.

So:

• A válasz holnap várható. not
• A válasz holnap van várható. ✘

This is a very common feature of Hungarian:

• A ház nagy. = The house is big.
• A könyv érdekes. = The book is interesting.

A is the Hungarian definite article, meaning the.

So:

• a válasz = the answer

Hungarian has two forms of the definite article:

• a before most consonant-initial words
• az before vowel-initial words

For example:

• a válasz = the answer
• az iskola = the school

Unlike English, Hungarian articles do not show gender. There is no separate the for masculine, feminine, or neuter nouns.

Yes. A válasz is the subject of the sentence.

The sentence is built around:

• A válasz = the answer
• holnap = tomorrow
• várható = expected

So grammatically, the meaning is roughly:

• The answer is expected tomorrow.

Even though English often uses a passive-looking structure here, in Hungarian a válasz is simply the thing being talked about, and várható is the predicate.

In this sentence, holnap naturally comes before the predicate to specify when the answer is expected.

Hungarian word order is flexible, and it often reflects focus, topic, and emphasis, not just grammar.

A válasz holnap várható is a neutral, natural order:

• A válasz = topic: what we are talking about
• holnap = time expression
• várható = predicate

You could also say:

• Holnap várható a válasz.

That version puts more attention on tomorrow.

So the two versions are close in meaning, but the emphasis is slightly different.

Holnap means tomorrow, and here it functions as an adverb of time.

It does not have a visible case ending in this sentence. Hungarian often uses simple time words without extra endings:

• ma = today
• holnap = tomorrow
• tegnap = yesterday

So in A válasz holnap várható, holnap simply tells you when.

You may also see related forms in other contexts, such as:

• holnapra = for tomorrow / by tomorrow
• holnapig = until tomorrow

But in this sentence, the plain holnap is enough.

Not exactly. Hungarian does not use the passive voice in the same way English does.

Várható is better understood as an adjective-like form made with -ható/-hető. Depending on context, it can mean:

• can be expected
• is expected
• is likely
• is foreseeable

So while the English translation may look passive, the Hungarian structure is not a direct passive equivalent in the English sense.

That is why várható is very useful in formal, neutral, and impersonal statements.

It sounds fairly neutral and slightly formal/official.

You might hear or read it in:

• emails
• customer service messages
• announcements
• news reports
• formal communication

For example, a company might write:

• A csomag holnap várható. = The package is expected tomorrow.

In everyday speech, someone might also choose a more direct wording depending on the situation, but várható is completely natural and common.

Yes. Várható can be a little broad.

Depending on context, A válasz holnap várható could suggest:

• the answer will arrive tomorrow
• the answer will be available tomorrow
• the answer can be expected tomorrow

So it does not always specify the exact mechanism. It simply says that tomorrow is the expected time for the answer.

That slight vagueness is one reason this phrasing is common in official or practical communication.

The original sentence already starts with A válasz, which makes it the topic of the sentence.

If you want stronger contrast or emphasis, Hungarian can rearrange the sentence depending on what is being highlighted. For example:

• A válasz holnap várható. = neutral, talking about the answer
• Holnap várható a válasz. = stronger emphasis on tomorrow

In Hungarian, word order is one of the main tools for emphasis. So a learner should not expect one rigid English-style order. The words can move, but the nuance changes.
