Késik

Késik is a term derived from the Hungarian language. It is most commonly used as a verb and translates directly to "is late" or "arrives late." The word itself is a conjugation of the verb "késni," meaning "to be late." In everyday conversation, "késik" is used to describe situations where a person, object, or event has failed to arrive or occur at the expected or scheduled time. For instance, one might say "A vonat késik" which means "The train is late." Similarly, if a person is running behind schedule, they might explain their tardiness by stating "Már késik" or "I am already late." The concept of lateness is universal, and "késik" provides a specific linguistic expression for this phenomenon in Hungarian. Its usage is straightforward and frequently encountered in daily communication within Hungarian-speaking communities.
