Hangsúlyozom

Hangsúlyozom is a Hungarian verb meaning “I emphasize” or “I stress.” It denotes placing special emphasis on a point, idea, or fact and is typically used to draw attention to a particular element in speech or writing. The infinitive form is hangsúlyozni, and the related noun hangsúly means emphasis, weight, or stress. The term derives from hangsúly, a compound of hang (sound, tone) and súly (weight), conveying the sense of giving weight or importance to something. The verb is transitive and requires a direct object, usually in the accusative, as in the example A lényeget hangsúlyozom (I emphasize the essential point).

Conjugation and forms: In the present tense, the first-person singular is hangsúlyozom, with the full present-tense paradigm: én hangsúlyozom, te hangsúlyozod, ő hangsúlyozza, mi hangsúlyozzuk, ti hangsúlyozzátok, ők hangsúlyozzák. The spelling reflects the stem ends with -oz-, which influences the second- and third-person forms. The infinitive is hangsúlyozni, and related derivatives include hangsúlyozás (emphasis) and hangsúlyosan (emphatically).

Usage: Hangsúlyozom is common in everyday speech, journalism, academia, and public speaking, wherever a speaker or writer wishes to signal the importance of a point. It can introduce a claim with emphasis, as in Hangsúlyozom, hogy... (I emphasize that...) and is often used with explicit objects or subordinate clauses. Synonyms include kiemel, hangsúlyozni, which convey a similar sense of stressing or highlighting. The term is part of standard Hungarian and remains neutral in tone, suitable for both formal and informal contexts.
