Hozzáért

Hozzáért is a Hungarian verb form that denotes having the necessary knowledge or practical skill to deal with a task. It describes practical competence in a field or activity, indicating that the subject is capable of handling the matter at hand. The expression can be used in neutral descriptions as well as evaluative contexts.

In usage, hozzáért is typically followed by a complement indicating the area of expertise, such as a feladathoz, a témához, vagy a munkához. For example, "A mérnök hozzáért a vasbeton szerkezetekhez," or "Ő hozzáért a számítógépes hálózatokhoz." The phrase can appear in positive statements about professionals or in statements noting someone’s capability. In contrast, the negation "nem ért hozzá" means that someone does not know how to do something or lacks the necessary expertise.

Related forms include hozzáértés, a noun meaning expertise or know-how, and hozzáértő, an adjective or noun describing a skilled person or expert. These terms share the same core idea of practical competence, often used in professional or technical contexts. Hozzáért communicates a sense of hands-on ability, rather than general intelligence or theoretical knowledge.

In English equivalents, hozzáért can be rendered as “to be competent in/at,” “to have expertise in,” or “to know how to do.” The expression is common in everyday Hungarian and in formal descriptions of qualifications or performance.
