Helyezni

Helyezni is a Hungarian verb meaning to place, to put in a location, or to position something. It is formed from the noun hely, meaning “place,” together with the suffix -ezni, which creates transitive verbs that denote performing an action on an object. The basic use is to move or set an object to a specific position or arrangement.

Helyezni valamit valahova is the core construction. Common examples include: A dobozt az asztalra helyeztem. Helyezze a papírokat a fiókba. In imperative form one can say: Helyezze el a lámpát a polcon. The verb is transitive and often combines with direction or location indicators such as fel, le, in, on, to express where the item is placed or positioned.

Elhelyezni is a closely related verb with a slightly more formal or deliberate nuance, meaning to place something in a particular place or to position something thoughtfully. It is commonly used when discussing placement in a space, a layout, or a system, and is often preferred in technical or architectural contexts.

Helyezés is the noun derived from the verb, meaning placement or ranking. In sports or competitions, helyezés refers to the result in the ranking, for example első helyezés means first place. The phrase helyezést ér(el) is used to describe achieving a certain rank.

Conjugation and tenses follow standard Hungarian patterns for -ni verbs. Present indicative forms include: én helyezek, te helyezel, ő helyez, mi helyezünk, ti helyeztek, ők helyeznek. Past tenses use the usual endings (helyeztem, helyezted, helyezte, etc.), and future is typically formed with fog (helyezni fogok). Related forms such as elhelyezni and helyezés expand the range of meanings to placement and ranking in various contexts.
