Indít

Indít is a Hungarian verb meaning to start, begin, or initiate something. It is used for a wide range of actions, from starting a process or project to triggering a device or system. In computing and technology, indít commonly refers to booting or launching software or hardware, as in be kell indítani a számítógépet (the computer must be started).

The basic form of the verb is indítani (infinitive). The event or act of starting is expressed with the noun indítás, which can mean a start-up, launch, or initiation, such as a startup sequence or the act of starting an engine. Related forms include indító, an adjective meaning starter or triggering, and indítvány, a noun used in parliamentary language to denote a formal motion or proposal to initiate consideration or action.

In usage, indít generally takes a direct object describing what is started or initiated. For example, Új projektet indítunk means “We are launching a new project.” It can also have figurative senses, such as to induce or prompt a reaction. In some contexts, the sense of incitement or acceleration can appear, depending on tone and context.

Etymology in Hungarian indicates indít is built with the derivational suffix -ít-, a productive pattern for forming causative or initiating verbs from a base root related to movement or action. The word sits within a broader family of Hungarian verbs that express starting or triggering events or processes.
