Questions & Answers about Elolvasom a hozzászólást.

Why is the verb elolvasom one word?

Because el- is a verbal prefix attached to olvas (to read).

• olvas = read
• elolvas = read through, read completely

In Hungarian, these prefixes are often written together with the verb when nothing pulls them apart. So:

• Elolvasom = I read it / I will read it through / I’ll finish reading it

The prefix can separate in other sentence types, for example:

• Nem olvasom el. = I’m not reading it / I won’t read it through.

So in your sentence, it is one word because that is the normal neutral form.

What does the prefix el- add here?

Here el- usually gives the idea of completion or reading something through to the end.

Compare:

• olvasom = I am reading it / I read it
• elolvasom = I read it through / I’ll read it completely / I finish reading it

With actions like reading, writing, eating, etc., prefixes often make the verb feel more bounded or completed.

So Elolvasom a hozzászólást suggests not just the activity of reading, but the whole comment being read.

Why does the verb end in -om?
