Képezdik

Képezdik is a Hungarian grammatical form. It is not a stand-alone lexical item, but a conjugated form used with a verbal stem to express a process where the subject undergoes the action rather than performing it. In Hungarian, the ending -dik is one of the marks of the present tense for the middle-voice or passive-voice constructions, so képezdik signals that something is being formed, shaped, developed, depicted, or otherwise brought into a state by an action described by the related active verb.

Because képezdik derives from a stem such as képez-, its precise meaning varies with the active verb it accompanies. The nuanced sense depends on the context and on the meaning of the underlying verb. In scholarly or descriptive prose, képezdik is commonly used to describe processes of formation, transformation, or representation from a passive or middle perspective, rather than to indicate a direct agent performing the action.

Usage notes:

- The form is more likely to appear in formal, literary, or analytical Hungarian than in everyday speech.

- The exact English rendering of képezdik will depend on the verb stem it pairs with; possible translations include “is being formed,” “is being shaped,” “is developed,” or “is depicted.”

- Like other Hungarian verb forms, its presence conveys information about voice, aspect, and subject agreement.
