Questions & Answers about Te holnap fogsz autót vezetni?
Why is te explicitly used in this sentence, even though Hungarian often drops subject pronouns?
In Hungarian, the verb form fogsz already indicates second-person singular, so you don’t strictly need te. However, including te can add emphasis (like saying you specifically) or clarity. In everyday speech, you might often hear just Holnap fogsz autót vezetni?, but using te makes it more direct or personal.
What does fogsz represent here?
Fogsz is the future auxiliary verb in the second-person singular form. In Hungarian, the future tense can be formed with fog plus the infinitive of the main verb (in this case, vezetni — to drive). So fogsz shows that the action (driving) will happen in the future.
Why is autót in this form?
Autót is in the accusative case, marked by the -t suffix. In Hungarian, direct objects generally take the accusative suffix to show that they are the direct recipient of the action. Hence, autó (car) becomes autót when it’s the direct object of vezetni (to drive).
Could I say Holnap te fogsz autót vezetni? instead?
Yes! Hungarian word order is quite flexible. You could place holnap (tomorrow) at the start, and it would still mean the same thing. The emphasis might shift slightly (you’d be focusing on the time first), but grammatically, both Te holnap fogsz autót vezetni? and Holnap te fogsz autót vezetni? are correct.
