Elállítja

Elállítja is a Hungarian verb form used in the present tense to indicate that someone (he/she/it) causes something to stop or come to a halt. It is the third-person singular present indicative form of the verb elállít, which is built from the prefix el- and the verb állít.

Etymology and meaning

The base állít has senses related to placing, setting, or asserting. With the prefix el-, elállít tends to convey cessation or cessation of action rather than mere placement. The exact sense of elállítja depends on the object and context, but it commonly expresses bringing a process, movement, or operation to a halt.

Common usages

- To stop or halt movement or traffic: A rendőrség elállítja a forgalmat. (The police halt the traffic.)

- To suspend a process or production: A gyár elállítja a gyártást. (The plant halts production.)

- In broader contexts, it can describe causing something to cease or be stopped by action of someone.

Grammatical notes

Elállítja is the present tense, third person singular form. It is derived from elállít with the suffix -ja, which marks the subject agreement in the definite conjugation pattern commonly used when the sentence includes a definite direct object (for example, a forgalmat, the traffic). Other person/number forms are created by standard Hungarian verb conjugation: elállítom, elállítod, elállítjuk, elállítjátok, elállítják, etc.
