Kifejezem

Kifejezem is the first-person singular present indicative form of the Hungarian verb kifejezni, meaning "to express." It marks that the speaker is currently expressing something—an opinion, feeling, or idea—rather than simply stating information. The related infinitive is kifejezni; the noun kifejezés means "expression." The form kifejezem belongs to the regular conjugation pattern of -ni verbs in the present tense for the "én" subject.

In usage, kifejezem appears in both formal and informal language to indicate the act of expressing. It is common in personal statements and written prose when emphasis on expression is intended. Example sentences include: "Én kifejezem a véleményemet." and "A beszéd során kifejezi a gondolatait." The second sentence uses a different person form, but demonstrates the concept.

Conjugation note: While this article focuses on the first-person singular, kifejezni conjugates regularly across persons, yielding forms like kifejezed, kifejezi, kifejezzük, and so on.

Etymology: the verb originates from kifejezés meaning "expression" plus the infinitive suffix -ni. Semantics: kifejezni stresses the act of giving outward form to an inner thought or feeling, as opposed to merely reporting information or repeating words.
