Konvertálnak

Konvertálnak is the third-person plural present indicative form of the Hungarian verb konvertálni, meaning they convert or they are converting. The verb covers a wide range of meanings: changing something from one form to another (such as data, files or currencies) and, in a religious or belief context, adopting a different faith. The word originates from Latin convertĕre, and has become common in both technical and everyday language.

Usage and contexts include technology, finance, and religion. In technology, konvertálás refers to transforming data or file formats, for example: "A program konvertálja az adatokat" or "a fájlok formátumát konvertálják CSV-be." In finance, currency conversion is described with terms like "valuta konvertálása" or "valuták konvertálása." In religion, konvertál can mean to convert to a different faith, as in "Sokan konvertálnak egy másik vallásra." The expression is formal, and in everyday speech speakers may use konvertálni with an explicit object to specify what is being converted.

Grammar notes: konvertálnak follows the regular conjugation pattern of -álni verbs. The stem is konvertál-, and the present-tense plural ending is -nak, yielding konvertálnak. In sentences, it is common to include the object of conversion, such as "adatokat," "adatokat konvertálnak," or "fájlokat konvertálnak," to clarify what is being changed.

Related terms include konverzió (conversion), konvertálás (conversion process), and adatkonverzió (data conversion).
