Kinyílik

Kinyílik is a Hungarian verb meaning to become open or to open up. It is an intransitive verb, and the subject of a sentence is typically something that opens on its own or changes from a closed to an open state. Common subjects include doors, windows, flowers, buds, or lids.

In use, kinyílik describes a change of state rather than an act performed by a specific agent. For example: "Az ajtó kinyílik, amikor belépsz" (The door opens when you enter). "A virág kinyílik tavasszal" (The flower opens in spring). The prefix ki- conveys outward movement or completion of the opening, combined with the root nyílik (to open/become open).

Grammatical notes: kinyílik is the present indicative form for the third-person singular. The past tense is formed as kinyílt (for example, "A kapu kinyílt reggel"). The word is related to nyílik (to open) and nyílás (opening, aperture). There is also a related transitive form used when a subject actively opens a specific object, typically expressed with a different verb construction, such as a transitive counterpart of open.
