Abbahagyják

Abbahagyják is a Hungarian verb form meaning "they abandon" or "they give up" something. It is the present indicative, third-person plural form of the verb abbahagyni, which means to abandon, to give up, or to cease doing something. The form is used when a plural subject decides to stop a course of action, habit, project, or activity.

Form and usage notes:

Abbahagyják is built from the infinitive abbahagyni and carries the typical present-tense ending for third-person plural: -ják. The corresponding singular present form is abbahagyja. The past tense forms are formed with the usual -ták/-ték endings, for example abbahagyták (they gave up). The word belongs to standard, non-archaic Hungarian and is commonly used in everyday and formal contexts.

Typical contexts:

It can refer to quitting a habit (for example, smoking), abandoning a plan or project, or ending an ongoing activity. Common collocations include abbahagyni a dohányzást, abbahagyni egy projektet, abbahagyni a tanulmányokat, with the form abbahagyják appearing when the subject is plural.
