Csoportosulnak

Csoportosulnak is a Hungarian verb meaning "to cluster" or "to group together." It is the third-person plural present tense form of the intransitive verb csoportosulni, which denotes the process of turning into or forming a group. The infinitive csoportosulni is built from the noun csoport ("group") plus the suffix -osulni, which signals a change of state or becoming.

Usage and contexts: The term describes how individuals or objects become arranged into a group or cluster. It is used in sociology and journalism to describe crowds, in biology to describe cellular or organismal aggregation, and in urban planning to describe spatial clustering of people or activities. The nuance is emphasizes a forming or coalescing dynamic rather than a static state.

Examples: A diákok csoportosulnak az udvaron. (The students cluster in the courtyard.) A város lakói csoportosulnak a rendezvény körül. (Residents cluster around the event.)

Related terms and notes: Related verbs include gyülekezik (to gather) and tömörül (to coalesce). In Hungarian, csoportosulnak remains a common descriptive expression in reporting, analysis, and narrative contexts when noting how groups form or organize themselves.
