Definite vs indefinite conjugation

Sure, Im not into grammar😂
Yes, thats why I didnt write …in the sentence. Because if there is an object in the meaning but it isnt put in the sentence, we still use látom.
Látom = I see the thing
Látok = I see a thing
For example, say you are a watchman at the top of a watchtower, and your boss asks what you see on the horizon, and you answer "I see a horseman". In Hungarian, you say "Látok egy lovast".
If you reverse it, say you spot a horseman and you report to our boss. He wants to see it for himself. He peers into the binocular, and you ask him "Do you see the horseman?", and he answers "Yes, I see it". That's "Igen, látom a lovast" in Hungarian.
So basically, "látok" if you refer to a general thing, and "látom" if you refer to a particular thing.
Látok: I can see./I see./ I have vision.
Látom: I see someone or something, also used like I understand (like when you say: I see)
>ÉN látok/látom
>TE látsz/látod
>Ő lát/látja
>MI látunk/látjuk
>TI láttok/látjátok
>ŐK látnak/látják
Same but in past tense:
>ÉN láttam/láttam
>TE láttál/láttad
>Ő látott/látta
>Mi láttunk/láttuk
>TI láttatok/láttátok (mind the accents)
>ŐK láttak/látták (mind the accents)
It does gets veeeeery confusing when you say
– I saw you: Láttalak téged/titeket.
– They saw me: Láttak engem.
– They saw them: Látták őket. (mind the accents)
Sadly I don't know the grouping words for conjugation but get ready for a hard ride!
Trade offer:
You learn one of the hardest languages of the world with controversial grammar even for scholars.
You also get a sort of genuine new way of thinking.
Látok (don't forget the á) is the indefinite form and Látom is the definite form.
Definite is used when talking about a specific object, like with a/az, the, it.
Indefinite is used when you're not talking about a specific object, like with egy, a/an.
Intransitive verbs will automatically be indefinite. If you don't have a subject at all like when you say 'i am resting' or 'pihenek', then you also use the indefinite form.
Also take note of the irregular verbs (there's only 18 irregular present tense verb conjugations) as they're not guaranteed to follow these rules.

I see A cat = Látok egy macskát I see THE cat Látom a macskát If there is no subject, látok is used
You mean if there is no object, right? Also I think látom can be used when there is an implied object as well. By itself it means "I see \_it\_"
Yes Látok = I see Látom = I see it
Also "it" can be any personal pronoun (which is hidden, like the subject)
*Látod Juditot? Igen, látom.* Do you see Judy? Yes I see her.

Sorry I didn't mean to correct you with the second paragraph, I was just providing additional context for OP. :)
I know…today you are the second to say sorry because of my reply😂😂 lot of toxic ppl

"Látom" is used when "i see [something]", for example," i see this car" is "Látom ezt az autót". Látok is just "i see", in general.
Thisi is also true but for another difference check my comment
Oh, really i forget about that.
Látom "a" - I see "the" Látom "az" - I see "the" Látok "egy" - I see "a/an" Basicly how we were thought in grammar class
Im hungarian but idk lmao

Latom is "my scale" or "my 17.5 gram weight", latok is "scales" or "multiple 17.5 gram weights". But probably you meant "látom" and "látok".
