Áthelyezni

Áthelyezni is a Hungarian verb meaning to move something from one place to another, to relocate, or to transfer. It is a transitive verb used for both physical relocation (objects, furniture, equipment) and more abstract transfers (employees between positions, data between storage locations, resources between units). In many contexts it denotes a deliberate repositioning to a different place or role.

Etymology and related forms: The word is built from the prefix át-, indicating crossing or moving across, combined with helyezni, to place. From this verb family derive nouns such as áthelyezés or áthelyezés, both used to express relocation, transfer, or reassignment. These noun forms are common in administrative, logistical, and IT contexts.

Usage notes: Áthelyezni requires a direct object representing what is moved, and it is typically followed by information about the destination or new arrangement (such as az új helyszínre, egy másik részlegbe). The term can cover both physical moves and non-physical transfers, and it is compatible with various tenses and moods in regular conjugation.

Examples:

- A bútorokat áthelyezték a földszintről a felső szintre. (The furniture was relocated from the ground floor to the upper floor.)

- A dolgozókat az IT osztályról az értékesítési részlegbe helyezték át. (The employees were transferred from the IT department to the sales department.)

- Az adatokat áthelyezték egy másik szerverre a biztonsági mentés érdekében. (The data were moved to another server for backup.)
