Emelkedik

Emelkedik is a Hungarian verb meaning to rise, ascend, or increase. It is used intransitively to describe upward movement or growth of a subject, whether concrete (a folyó vízszintje emelkedik; the water level rises) or abstract (a hőmérséklet emelkedik; the temperature rises, az árfolyam emelkedik; the exchange rate rises, a vérnyomás emelkedik; blood pressure rises). The form is common in meteorology, economics, health, and everyday reporting of changes.

The verb is closely related to emel- (to lift). A common derivative with a stronger sense of a noticeable rise is megemelkedik, which is used for more pronounced or sudden increases, such as megemelkednek az árak or a vízszint megemelkedik.

Grammatical notes: emelkedik is typically used with a subject that undergoes the change, and its tense is formed like other Hungarian intransitive -dik verbs. The noun forms related to this concept include emelkedés (the rise, increase) and emelkedő (rising, ascending as an adjective or noun).

Other related terms include a rise in spirit or mood in colloquial use, though more common expressions for mood improvement might use different phrasing. Antonyms include csökken or süllyed, referring to decreases or falling levels.

In summary, emelkedik is a versatile Hungarian verb for upward movement or growth across physical measurements, prices, temperatures, and similar contexts, with megemelkedik used for more substantial increases and emelkedés as the corresponding noun form.
