Questions & Answers about Csatlakoztatom és újraindítom a modemet.

Why do both verbs end in -om?

Because both verbs are in the 1st person singular definite present form.

In this sentence, the speaker is doing something to a specific object: a modemet = the modem. When Hungarian verbs take a definite direct object, they usually use the definite conjugation.

• csatlakoztatom = I connect it / I am connecting it
• újraindítom = I restart it / I am restarting it

That -om ending tells you:

• the subject is I
• the object is definite

Why is there no word for I in the sentence?

Hungarian usually does not need subject pronouns when the verb ending already shows the subject.

So:

• csatlakoztatom already means I connect it
• újraindítom already means I restart it

You could add én for emphasis:

• Én csatlakoztatom és újraindítom a modemet.

But without emphasis, leaving out én is more natural.
