Gyengítem

Gyengítem is the first-person singular present tense form of the Hungarian verb gyengít, which means to weaken, debilitate, or diminish. It is a transitive verb, used to indicate that the speaker is actively causing something to become weaker, whether in a physical, strategic, or figurative sense. The subject is typically the speaker (én), but Hungarian often omits the pronoun when the verb form already carries the person.

Morphology and conjugation: Gyengít belongs to the regular class of Hungarian verbs formed with the causative suffix -ít. The present indicative forms include gyengítem (I weaken), gyengíted (you weaken), gyengíti (he/she weakens), gyengítjük (we weaken), gyengítitek (you all weaken), gyengítik (they weaken). The noun form for the action is gyengítés (weakening), and a related agentive form is gyengítő (weaken-er or weakening agent).

Usage and nuance: Gyengítem is used to describe an act of making something weaker. It requires a direct object in the accusative to specify what is weakened: például, Én gyengítem a védelmet. The form can be used in various contexts, including physical, strategic, or metaphorical weakening, such as weakening a position, an argument, or a structure. Hungarian often conveys aspect through tense and context rather than a separate continuous form.
