Elvégzik

Elvégzik is a Hungarian verb form meaning “they complete” or “they finish.” It is the present tense, third-person plural form of the infinitive elvégezni (to finish, to complete), formed with the prefix el- attached to végezni. The prefix signals completion or thorough execution of an action. The verb is transitive and commonly used with a direct object, such as a task, course, project, or examination.

Etymology and nuance: elvégzés expresses the notion of fully carrying out a task as prescribed or expected. The prefix el- emphasizes completion beyond merely starting the action. In everyday language, elvégzik often refers to finishing a concrete, bounded activity within a given context or obligation.

Usage and examples: The form appears with plural subjects. For example, A diákok elvégzik a feladatokat. (The students finish the assignments.) A csapat elvégzi a projektet a határidőre. (The team completes the project on time.) The same verb in other tenses or with different subjects exists under elvégezni, such as elvégzem (I finish), elvégzi (he/she finishes), elvégezte (he/she finished), elvégezték (they finished).

Related forms and synonyms: Elvégzés relates to the act of finishing, and elvégezni is the infinitive. Common synonyms or near-equivalents include befejezni and végrehajtani in some contexts, though each carries its own nuance. The prefix el- generally marks completion, while végezni covers performing or finishing actions more broadly.
