=== In Hungarian === {{Unreferenced-section|date=July 2020}} [[Hungarian language|Hungarian]] is sometimes misunderstood to have transitive and intransitive conjugation for all verbs, but there is really only one general conjugation. In present and future, there is a lesser used variant – a definite, or say emphatic conjugation form. It is used only when referring to a previous sentence, or topic, where the object was already mentioned. Logically the definite article {{lang|hu|a(z)}} as reference is used here—and due to verb emphasis (definite), word order changes to VO. *If one does not want to be definite, once can simply say: :{{lang|hu|házat látok}} — I see (a) house – (general) :{{lang|hu|látom a házat}} — I see the house – (The house we were looking for) :{{lang|hu|almát eszem}} — I eat (an) apple – (general) :{{lang|hu|eszem az almát}} — I eat the apple – (The one mom told me to) :{{lang|hu|bort iszom}} — I drink wine – (general) :{{lang|hu|iszom a bort}} — I drink the wine – (That you offered me before) In English, one would say 'I do see the house', etc., stressing the verb – in Hungarian, the object is emphasized – but both mean exactly the same thing.
