Kölcsönöznek

Kölcsönöznek is a Hungarian verb form. It is the third person plural present indicative of the verb kölcsönöz, which means to borrow or to take something on loan temporarily from someone else. The infinitive is kölcsönözni. The word appears in sentences where the subjects are borrowing items, such as books or tools, from another person or institution.

Linguistic notes: kölcsönöznek is a finite form used for "they borrow." The base noun kölcsön means a loan, while the related noun kölcsönzés denotes the act of borrowing or loaning, and kölcsönző refers to a lender or a rental service. The construction generally requires an object indicating what is borrowed and, if specifying the source, a from-phrase such as valakitől (from someone) or from a place like a library.

Usage and nuance: In everyday Hungarian, kölcsönöznek describes the act of taking something on loan from another person or institution. To specify who lends, the sentence structure often includes a source phrase (e.g., valakitől, a könyvtárból). The form can be contrasted with other conjugations of kölcsönöz within different tenses and persons.

Examples:

- A diákok kölcsönöznek könyvet a könyvtárból. (The students borrow a book from the library.)

- Ők kölcsönöznek könyvet a barátuktól. (They borrow a book from their friend.)
