Készítek

Készítek is a Hungarian verb form meaning “I make” or “I prepare.” It is the first-person singular present indicative of the verb készíteni, which means to make, to prepare, or to create. The present tense stem is készít-, and the final form adds the personal ending -ek, resulting in készítek.

Grammar and usage notes: The verb készíteni is transitive and takes a direct object, typically in the accusative case. It can refer to cooking, making objects, or creating something in a broader sense. In everyday speech, the more informal equivalent often used is csinálok, but készítek appears in more formal, precise, or deliberate contexts, or when the focus is on the act of preparation itself. The related forms include készítem (emphasized I prepare), készítettem (I prepared), and készítés (the act of making).

Common contexts: Készítek ételeket or vacsorát to say “I am making dishes or dinner.” I can also say, for example, “Ma vacsorát készítek” (Today I’m preparing dinner). The verb can extend beyond cooking to making plans, documents, crafts, or any case where something is being produced or arranged.

Examples:

- Készítek teát. (I am making tea.)

- Ma egy tortát készítek a ünnepre. (Today I am making a cake for the celebration.)

- Délután kicsit dolgozom, aztán vacsorát készítek. (In the afternoon I’ll work a bit, then I’ll prepare dinner.)
