• Hyphenation: bán

From a Turkic language.

bán

1. (transitive) to mind, to object to, to be bothered by (chiefly in negative constructions)

   Nem bánod, ha kinyitom az ablakot? ― Do you mind if I open the window?

   Nem bánnám, ha néha segítenél kitakarítani. ― I wouldn't mind if you helped me clean the house once in a while.

2. (transitive) to regret

   Synonym: sajnál

• This verb is a member of one of those (few) quasi-homonymous verb pairs that exist both with and without an -ik ending. All suffixed forms of these pairs are identical (sometimes they can even have derived forms that coincide), with the exception of their dictionary form (the third-person singular indicative present, with or without -ik), the transitive forms if one of them is transitive (if either, it is the one without -ik) as well as an optional first-person singular indicative present indefinite form of the -ik verb. However, the meaning of these pairs is often unrelated. Examples include bán–bánik, (el)vesz–(el)veszik, ér–érik, nyúl–nyúlik, (meg)bíz–(meg)bízik and tör–törik (the latter two pairs with related meanings; tör[ik] along with their verbal prefixes). Therefore one may well need to check the context and the verb arguments to ascertain which member of the verb pair is relevant.
