Questions & Answers about Képes vagyok dolgozni.
- képes = capable, able
- vagyok = I am
- dolgozni = to work
So the structure is literally Capable am I to work, which in natural English is I am able to work or I can work, depending on context.
Because vagyok is the 1st person singular form of the verb lenni (to be).
Here are the relevant forms:
- vagyok = I am
- vagy = you are (singular, informal)
- van = he/she/it is
So:
- Képes vagyok dolgozni = I am able to work
- Képes van dolgozni would be incorrect
Hungarian often leaves out subject pronouns because the verb ending already shows the subject.
In vagyok, the ending tells you the subject is I, so én is not necessary.
- Képes vagyok dolgozni = normal, natural
- Én képes vagyok dolgozni = possible, but én adds emphasis, something like I am able to work
Hungarian uses pronouns mainly for contrast, emphasis, or clarity.
