Kiterjesztem

Kiterjesztem is the first-person singular present tense form of the Hungarian verb kiterjeszt, meaning to extend, stretch out, or broaden. In everyday use, it expresses the speaker’s action of extending something—physically, spatially, or figuratively.

The verb kiterjeszt is built from ki- meaning outward and terjeszt, which relates to spreading or widening. The present tense forms are: én kiterjesztem, te kiterjeszted, ő kiterjeszti; mi kiterjesztjük, ti kiterjesztitek, ők kiterjesztik. The form kiterjesztem is transitive and typically takes a direct object, such as a limb, a boundary, or a scope. Related noun forms include kiterjesztés (extension) and kiterjesztő (extender or expansive).

Usage and nuance: kiterjesztem is used for physical extension as well as figurative widening of reach or influence. Examples include:

- Kiterjesztem a karjaimat, hogy elérjem a magas polcot. (I stretch out my arms to reach the tall shelf.)

- A vállalat a szolgáltatást ki fog terjeszteni, és kiterjeszti az országos hálózatát. (The company will extend the service and broaden its nationwide network.)

See also: kiterjesztés, kiterjesztő, kiterjesztési. These related forms convey the abstract notion of extension, its agents, or resulting extensions.
