Mindenképpen beszélni akarok a szakemberrel.

Mindenképpen is an adverb meaning definitely, in any case, one way or another, or sometimes at all costs, depending on context.

In this sentence, it adds a strong sense of determination: the speaker really wants to make sure the conversation with the specialist happens.

It is built from:

• minden = every, all
• képpen = in a way / manner

So the literal idea is something like in every way.

Because akarok means I want, and after akar Hungarian normally uses the infinitive, just like English uses to + verb.

So:

• beszélni = to speak / to talk
• akarok beszélni or beszélni akarok = I want to speak

Using beszélek here would be wrong, because beszélek means I speak / I am speaking, not to speak.

Akarok is the 1st person singular form of akar, which means to want.

So:

• akar = he/she wants
• akarok = I want

The ending -ok tells you the subject is I, which is why Hungarian does not need a separate word for I here.

Hungarian often leaves out subject pronouns when they are already clear from the verb ending.

Here, akarok already means I want, so én is not necessary.

You could say:

• Én mindenképpen beszélni akarok a szakemberrel.

But that would add extra emphasis to I, as if contrasting yourself with someone else.

It means with the specialist / with the professional.

Breakdown:

• a = the
• szakember = specialist, professional, expert person
• -rel = part of the suffix meaning with

So the phrase refers to speaking with the specialist.

The basic suffix is -val / -vel, which means with.

However, when this suffix is added to a word ending in a consonant, the v often assimilates to that final consonant, and the consonant gets doubled in writing.

So:

• szakember + vel
• becomes szakemberrel

This is a very common pattern in Hungarian.

A few similar examples:

• ház + val → házzal = with a house
• kéz + vel → kézzel = with a hand
• ember + vel → emberrel = with a person

Hungarian has two forms of the definite article:

• a before consonant sounds
• az before vowel sounds

Since szakember begins with sz, which is a consonant sound, the correct article is a.

So:

• a szakember
• but az orvos

Yes, akarok beszélni is also possible. Hungarian word order is more flexible than English word order, and it often reflects emphasis rather than strict grammatical rules.

Both can mean the same basic thing:

• beszélni akarok = I want to speak
• akarok beszélni = I want to speak

But the feel can shift slightly depending on context and emphasis. The version in your sentence is very natural and idiomatic.

For a learner, the important point is:

• after akar, Hungarian uses an infinitive
• the exact position of the infinitive can vary

Because Hungarian often puts an important or emphasized element near the beginning of the sentence.

Starting with mindenképpen highlights the speaker’s determination. It gives the sentence a sense like:

• Definitely, I want to speak with the specialist
• I absolutely want to speak with the specialist

So the sentence does not just state a wish; it stresses that this really matters.

Not exactly, though they overlap.

• szakember usually means a trained professional or specialist, often someone working in a practical field
• szakértő usually means an expert, with more emphasis on expertise or authority

So szakember often feels a bit more like professional/specialist, while szakértő leans more toward expert.

In many translations, though, both can end up as expert or specialist in English.

A few key pronunciation points:

• Stress is always on the first syllable of each word:

  • MIN-den-kép-pen
  • BE-szél-ni
  • A-ka-rok
  • A szak-em-ber-rel
• sz is pronounced like English s
• s by itself is pronounced like English sh
• é is a long vowel, roughly like the vowel in say, but cleaner and more pure
• the double rr in szakemberrel is pronounced a bit longer than a single r

So szakemberrel should not be rushed; the doubled consonant is part of the word’s sound.
