Kiépíteni

Kiépíteni is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to build up," "to construct," "to establish," or "to develop." It carries a sense of creating something from its foundational elements, often implying a gradual or systematic process. The verb can be used in a variety of contexts, ranging from the physical construction of buildings to the abstract development of relationships or systems.

In a literal sense, kiépíteni refers to the act of building physical structures. For example, one might kiépíteni a házat (build a house) or kiépíteni egy utat (construct a road). This usage emphasizes the creation of tangible objects through labor and materials.

Beyond physical construction, kiépíteni is frequently employed to describe the establishment or development of non-physical entities. This can include building relationships, such as kiépíteni a barátságot (establish a friendship), or fostering trust. It can also refer to developing systems, like kiépíteni egy hálózatot (develop a network) or kiépíteni egy rendszert (establish a system). In these instances, the verb signifies the process of putting components together to create a functional whole, whether it be social, technological, or organizational. The core meaning remains consistent: the deliberate and often effortful creation of something that was not previously present.
