Létezik

Létezik is a Hungarian word that functions as the third-person singular present indicative form of the verb létezni, meaning "to exist." In sentences it is used to assert that something exists, for example: "Ez létezik" (This exists) or "Ez a jelenség létezik" (This phenomenon exists).

Létezni, the infinitive of which létezik is a form, is derived from the noun lét, meaning existence, with the verb-forming suffix -ezni. Related nouns include lét (existence) and létezés (existence as a state or act of existing). The word is common in both everyday language and philosophical or analytical contexts when discussing the presence or reality of objects, ideas, or phenomena.

As a general-purpose existential verb, létezik appears in a wide range of registers—from casual speech to formal writing. While it is most often used to state that something exists, it also participates in more complex existential constructions, such as questions about existence or discussions of what is real. In Hungarian, the form létezni and its inflected forms are part of a broader set of verbs tied to existence and being, contrasted with terms like létezés, which emphasizes the concept of existence itself.
