Befizet

Befizet is a Hungarian verb meaning to pay in or to deposit funds into an account or to submit payment to an organization. It is used for money that is delivered to a recipient rather than transferred to another person, and it often refers to paying bills, tuition, taxes, or contributions. The action is transitive and commonly appears in banking, administration, and everyday financial transactions.

Etymology: The word combines the prefix be- with fizet, "to pay." The related noun befizetés denotes the payment itself, and the verb’s conjugations follow standard Hungarian patterns (for example befizetek, befizetsz, befizet).

Usage: Befizet is typically used with a destination, such as a bank account, a company, or a government authority. Examples include befizetni a bankszámlára (to pay in to a bank account) or befizetni a tandíjat (to pay the tuition). It can indicate cash, check, or electronic payments, and is often contrasted with kifizet, which means to pay out to someone else.

Notes: While similar to fizet, befizet emphasizes putting funds into a recipient’s account or paying in through a designated channel. The noun befizetés refers to the act or the payment itself.
