Indokolja

Indokolja is a Hungarian verb meaning "to justify" or "to explain the reasons for something." The infinitive is indokolni; the third-person singular present indicative form is indokolja, as in "A kormány indokolja a döntést." The verb is transitive and typically takes a direct object referring to what is being justified (for example "a döntést" or "az intézkedést") and can introduce a subordinate clause with "hogy" or "miért" to specify the reasons, e.g., "indokolja, hogy miért van szükség a változtatásra."

Etymology and related forms: Indokolja is derived from the noun indok meaning "reason," with the verb-forming suffix -ol-. Related nouns include indoklás and indokolás, both used to denote a justification or rationale, while indokoltság or indokolt lehetőségek describe justification or justification-worthy conditions in different contexts.

Usage: Indokolja tends to appear in formal or written contexts, such as legal, administrative, or political discourse, where a decision, policy, or action must be defended with reasons. In everyday speech, verbs like magyaráz vagy megmagyarázza may be used for general explanations, but indokolja emphasizes justification based on explicit reasons.

Examples: "A minisztérium indokolja a javasolt költségvetési intézkedéseket." "A döntést indokolja a vizsgálat eredménye." "A jogszabály indokolja a tiltás szükségességét." See also: indok, indoklás, indokolás.
