Illuminálni

Illuminálni is a Hungarian verb meaning to illuminate in both a literal and a figurative sense. Literally, it refers to providing light to make something visible, such as a room, a scene, or a object. Figuratively, it means to shed light on a topic, to clarify, explain, or reveal new understanding. The word is a loanword derived from Latin illuminare (to light up, to enlighten) and has been incorporated into Hungarian with the typical infinitive suffix -ni.

In usage, illuminálni is transitive and commonly appears with a direct object. It can denote the action of lighting with lamps or other light sources, or it can describe intellectual or documentary illumination. In everyday language, megvilágít or kivilágít are more common for physical lighting, while illuminálni may be found in technical, artistic, or stylistic contexts to emphasize deliberate or deliberate staging of light, or to emphasize enlightening an issue.

Grammatically, illuminálni follows the standard -álni verbs pattern. The present tense forms include illuminálok (I illuminate), illuminálsz (you illuminate), illuminál (he/she/it illuminates), illuminálunk (we illuminate), illuminálnak (they illuminate).
