Kiszámítják

Kiszámítják is the third-person plural present indicative form of the Hungarian verb kiszámít, meaning to compute, to work out, or to determine by calculation. It is used when the subject is plural, for example, A statisztikusok kiszámítják a várható élettartamot.

Etymology: The verb is formed from the prefix ki- attached to számít (to count, to compute). Szám is the root meaning number; the infinitive is kiszámítani, and the present-tense third-person plural ending is -ják, yielding kiszámítják.

Usage notes: In everyday language, kiszámítják can refer to concrete calculations or to more general estimates. It often appears with plural direct objects, such as a piaci trendeket or a költségvetéseket. The verb also appears in other tenses: kiszámítom (I calculate), kiszámítod (you calculate), kiszámította (he/she calculated). In compound tenses, it may be used with auxiliary constructions to express future or perfect aspects.
