Gyengítek

Gyengítek is a Hungarian verb form meaning “I weaken.” It is the first-person singular present indicative of the verb gyengít, which means to weaken, diminish, or impair something. The form is used to describe an action carried out by the speaker on a direct object.

Etymology and morphology: gyengít is derived from the adjective gyenge, meaning weak, with the causative suffix -ít-, producing a verb meaning “to cause to become weak.” The present tense form gyengítek is built on the stem gyengít- and the first-person singular suffix -ek. In the third person singular, the form is gyengít, and other persons are formed by the usual Hungarian present-tense patterns for -ít verbs.

Usage and meaning: gyengítek is a transitive verb, requiring a patient noun in the accusative when specifying what is being weakened. The meaning can be literal (reducing physical strength or integrity) or figurative (weakening an argument, a position, a defense, or an influence). As with other Hungarian finite verbs, its tense and aspect are determined by context and sentence construction.

Related forms: gyengítés (the noun form meaning “weakening”), gyengítő (the adjective meaning “weaken­ing” or “weakening agent”). These related forms are commonly used in technical, analytical, or descriptive writing to discuss processes of reduction or diminishment.

See also: gyenge (weak), gyengítő hatás (weakening effect). The term is a standard example of -ít verbs in Hungarian, illustrating regular present-tense conjugation and transitive use in both literal and figurative contexts.
