Elterjesztenek

Elterjesztenek is a form of the Hungarian verb elterjeszteni, meaning to disseminate or spread something widely, such as information, news, opinions, or propaganda. The prefix el- conveys outward spreading or thorough dissemination, while terjeszt- is the root related to spreading or propagating. The infinitive elterjeszteni is used for the general action, and elterjesztenek appears as a conjugated form used with a plural subject in the present tense.

In usage, elterjesztenek is typically transitive, requiring a direct object in the accusative (for example, a piece of information, a statement, or a rumor) and describing an act carried out by a group or multiple agents. It is common in journalism, political discourse, and media contexts, where organizations, agencies, or coalitions seek to distribute a message to a broad audience. The verb can carry connotations of intentional and organized spread, as opposed to natural or incidental diffusion.

Grammatical notes: elterjesztenek is the present tense, third-person plural form of elterjeszteni. The more standard and widely used third-person plural form in everyday language is often terjesztik, but elterjesztenek appears in some dialects, registers, or stylistic choices. The root family also includes terjesztés (dissemination), terjesztő (disseminator), and related nouns describing the act of spreading.
