Etymology 1

From the conflation^[1] of Proto-Uralic *kontale- (compare Old Hungarian hadl (“hear”), Northern Mansi хӯнтлуӈкве (hūntluňkve), Finnish kuunnella) and Proto-Uralic *kule- (compare Northern Mansi хӯлуӈкве (hūluňkve) and Finnish kuulla).

Verb

hall

(intransitive) to hear (to perceive sounds through the ear)
(transitive) to hear (to perceive with the ear)
Hallottam egy hangot a szobából. ― I heard a sound from the room.

Usage notes

This verb is a member of one of those (few) quasi-homonymous verb pairs that exist both with and without an -ik ending. All (intransitive) 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). However, the meaning of these pairs is usually distinct, sometimes unrelated. Examples include (fel)áldoz–(le)áldozik, bán–bánik, (meg)bíz–(meg)bízik, (meg)ér–(meg)érik, esz (rare)–eszik, hajol–hajlik, (felül)múl–(el)múlik, (hozzá)nyúl–nyúlik, (el)vesz–(el)veszik~(el)vész, and tör–törik (along with their verbal prefixes), hall–hallik (archaic), érez–érzik (archaic), sometimes with some difference: (el)hibáz–hibádzik, (le)torkol–torkollik. Therefore one may well need to check the context and the arguments to ascertain which member of the verb pair is relevant.

[3] Az előszobát követő, a helyiségek előterét alkotó ablaktalan lakóhelyiség neve hall, melynek területe minimum 8 négyzetméter. Minden, amit tudni akartál a lakásokról…

[4] Ablaktalan, 8-10 négyzetméternél nem kisebb helyiség, funkciója (…), hogy a belőle nyíló szobák külön bejáratát biztosítja. Nem tévesztendő össze az előszobával, mivel a hall nem feltétlenül a bejárati ajtó mögött helyezkedik el. Régi, polgári lakások gyakori elrendezése, hogy az előszobából rövid folyosó vezet a hallba. Ingatlanos kisszótár

[5] Egy olyan ablaktalan helyiség, ahonnan ajtók nyílnak a többi szobába. (…) legalább 8‑10 négyzetméteres kell, hogy legyen, de (…) a panellakásokban ritkán érik el ezt a méretet. (…) olyan közlekedő, ami hasznosítható. Nem keverendő össze az előszobával, de legtöbbször az előszoba a hallba vezet. 20 ingatlanos kifejezés…

[6] 'A legfőbb, minden kritikában visszaköszönő érv az volt, hogy a hallos lakás teljesen alkalmatlan gyermekes családok számára, mert nem teszi lehetővé a felnőttek és gyermekek, illetve ez utóbbiak esetében a lányok és fiúk egymástól elkülönített alvását. Az 1930-as évek új lakástípusa: a hallos lakás

[7] <Városi típusú lakásokban> rendsz. a bejárat közelében levő, gyak. ablaktalan nagyobb helyiség, amelyből a többi helyiség nyílik, s amely az előszobával ellentétben tartózkodásra, vendégek fogadására is haszn. és lakható.
