"I kiss you."

Translation: Megcsókollak.

[JohnWeber786406]

Megcsókollak - is not really covered very well here. This is apparently the ending used when the target is "you". There should be a whole lesson on this, but there isn't!

Látlak - I see you
Várlak - I wait for you.
Nézlek - I am watching you.

[vvsey]

Add to it that the subject is "I".
And the clue: the suffix has an "L" in it.

[MariaFMas]

Why do we need to add meg in that verb and not in others , like latom . I can't understand

[bbigblue]

These additions alter the meaning.

Látlak - I see you, in general, for example, i am on the second floor window and we are talking on the phone and i tell you that i see you in the crowd.
Meglátlak - It is more about, i just caught sight of you, like i am driving, and i suddenly see you.

Nézlek... I am sitting here and I am watching you as you cook and i am learning from it.
Megnézlek... hm... If we are talking and you are telling me that you will have a performance in the theater, then i can say, sure, i will go and watch you in the theater (megnézlek a színházban).

Why is this the answer?

[RyagonIV]

Hmm, could you elaborate your problem a bit more?

[SamanthaGasmire]

does the meg part of the word indicate that it will happen in the future? or can meg indicate something will happen in the future?

[RyagonIV]

The meg- prefix usually denotes that an act is finalised. If you're familiar with the principle of aspects, it'll help a bit. Meg- puts a verb basically in the finshed aspect, meaning it puts focus on that one kiss instead of referring to kisses I give you in general. It's a bit complicated and I don't understand it fully yet as well (I'm not a native), but I can give you an example to give you an idea of what meg- does:
ért - to understand; megért - to comprehend, to grasp a concept.

So megcsókollak pretty much means that I'm going to full-on kiss you and not just because that's what I usually do. The English translation, though, leaves some room for interpretation, and just csókollak is a valid answer as well.

[SamanthaGasmire]

Wow! Thanks for the explanation. It is helpful.

What about megpuszílak?

[RyagonIV]

The proper form would be "Megpuszillak" (the base verb is puszil ). It may be closer to "nuzzling", but it should be acceptable as well.

[SusanRankin1]

Okay I do not know this verb but shouldn't it have om as the conjugation ending?

[mizinamo]

If the subject is "I" and the object is "you", then the verb takes a special ending -lek / -lak.

[Nicola357618]

I put csokolok..which is of course wrong (but close!!) It was marked correct but with a typo csókolom..and then here on the discussion page, the correct answer above is Megcsókollak. I'm confused

[vvsey]

"Csókolom." is a greeting, usually by children or younger people to adults. So that is one possible translation.
The other is the more literal translation, "megcsókollak", "megpuszillak", etc.

I hear old men say that to young women
