Gyújtódik

Gyújtódik is a Hungarian verb that translates to "ignites," "catches fire," or "starts burning" in English. It is the third-person singular present tense form of the verb gyújtódik. This verb is used to describe the process of something beginning to burn. For example, one might say "A fa gyújtódik" which means "The wood is igniting."

The verb can be used in both literal and figurative senses. Literally, it refers to the physical act of combustion. Figuratively, it can describe the start of an emotion or a situation, such as "A vita gyújtódik" (The argument is igniting). The root word is "gyújt," meaning "to light" or "to ignite." The "-ódik" suffix indicates a reflexive or passive action, suggesting that the subject itself is undergoing the process of ignition, rather than being directly ignited by an external agent, although it can also imply an external cause. For instance, a campfire might gyújtódik on its own if conditions are favorable, or it might gyújtódik because someone lit it. The context typically clarifies the specific nuance.
