Kontrollalják

Kontrollalják is the third-person plural present indicative form of the Hungarian verb kontrollál, meaning they check, monitor, or control. It is used when the subject performing the action is plural and the action is transitive, typically taking an object, as in “A csoportok kontrollálják a folyamatot” (The groups control the process). The form is built from the stem kontrollál- plus the infinitive suffix -ni, with the 3rd person plural ending -ják.

Etymology and form: Kontrolál is a loanword in Hungarian from the broader family of words derived from control. The base meaning aligns with controlling, supervising, or verifying. The suffix -ál- forms the verb stem, and -ni marks the infinitive; -ják marks the 3rd person plural present tense.

Usage and nuance: Kontrollálják is common in technical, administrative, and regulatory contexts, where active supervision or verification is involved. It conveys ongoing oversight or enforcement of a process, standard, or set of rules. In practice, kontrollálja- compounds are often used alongside synonymous verbs such as ellenőrizik or megvizsgálja, with kontrollál having a stronger emphasis on supervision and compliance.

Examples:

- A laboratóriumban a minőségbiztosítási csapat kontrollálja a teszteredményeket.

- A hatóságok kontrollálják a határforgalmat.

- A cégvezetés gyakran kontrollálja a projekt előrehaladását, hogy biztosítsa a megfelelőséget.
