Interferálnak

Interferálnak is the third-person plural present tense form of the Hungarian verb interferál, borrowed from English to interfere. It denotes involvement in a matter in a way that influences outcomes, often in a manner seen as intrusive or unwelcome. In everyday use, interferál describes meddling or external influence in decisions, processes, or events. The term can carry a negative nuance, but the exact shade depends on context. In formal or technical writing, more neutral alternatives such as beavatkozik or közbeavatkozik may be preferable, depending on the sense intended.

Interferál can also appear in scientific or technical contexts to describe interference between signals, waves, or channels; in those contexts the related noun is interferencia. Phrases such as a jel interferál may be used, though in Hungarian the terms zavar or interferencia are also common, depending on the field and nuance.

Etymology and form: interferál is a borrowed verb from English interfere, adapted to Hungarian phonology and morphology. It forms a regular -ál conjugation class. Present tense forms include interferálok, interferálsz, interferál, interferálunk, interferáltok, and interferálnak for the third-person plural.
