Fonják

Fonják is the present tense, third-person plural form of the Hungarian verb fonni, which means to spin, weave, or braid fibers into yarn, thread, or cloth. In addition to its literal textile meaning, fonni can also be used metaphorically to describe things that are intertwined or interwoven. Fonják is used when the subject performing the action is plural.

A typical example is: A nők fonják a fonalat. (The women are spinning the thread.) The form can occur in various contexts, from everyday conversations about textile work to descriptions of people coordinating their efforts in a shared task.

Grammatical note: Fonni is a regular Hungarian verb, and the present tense 3rd-person plural ending is -ják, attached to the stem fon-, yielding fonják. Like other Hungarian verbs, it agrees with its subject, not with the object, and may appear in different syntactic positions within a sentence depending on emphasis.

Etymology and usage: The verb fonni is a native Hungarian verb with long-standing presence in both practical and literary language. It appears in discussions of traditional crafts as well as in figurative language that describes people or events as being interwoven or connected in complex ways. Related terms include fonás (spinning), fonal (thread), and összefonás (intertwining).
