Fekszik

Fekszik is a Hungarian verb meaning "to lie" in the senses of reclining or being situated. It commonly denotes a stationary position (someone or something is lying down) or a location (a place lies somewhere, e.g., along a river or on a hill). The verb is part of a family of words derived from the root fek-, which relates to posture and position.

In grammar fekszik functions as an intransitive verb. It appears in everyday speech to describe physical posture (A macska a kanapén fekszik — "The cat is lying on the couch") and to indicate geographical situation (A falu a dombon fekszik — "The village lies on the hill"). The related verb lefekszik means "to lie down" (to take up a recumbent position), while derived nouns and adjectives include fekvő ("lying, recumbent"), fekvés ("position, situation"), and fekvőbeteg ("bedridden patient").

Pronunciation follows Hungarian phonology, with primary stress on the first syllable and vowel qualities typical of the language. Conjugation follows regular patterns for -szik verbs in the present tense (e.g., fekszem, fekszel, fekszik, fekszünk, feksztek, fekszenek), and related past and participial forms link to the same root.

The word is widely used in both everyday and formal contexts to describe posture, location, and related states.
