Lazítják

Lazítják is a Hungarian verb meaning "they are lazy" or "they are idling." The term originates from the Hungarian word *laz* (lazy) combined with the verb ending *-ítják*, which indicates a passive or reflexive action performed by a third-person plural subject. In Hungarian grammar, *-ítják* is a conjugation of the verb *tenni* (to do/make) in the present tense, used to form passive constructions or to indicate that someone is causing an action to occur.

The phrase is commonly used in everyday speech to describe a situation where a group of people is not actively engaged in work or productive activities. It can also be employed humorously or colloquially to suggest that someone is avoiding responsibility or effort. For example, in a workplace setting, one might say *Lazítják a munkát* ("They are idling at work") to imply that colleagues are being unproductive.

In Hungarian linguistics, *-ítják* is part of a broader pattern of verb conjugation where the suffix *-ít-* transforms the meaning of the base verb, often indicating an action performed by an external agent. This construction is distinct from the simple present tense of *lazik* (to be lazy), which would be *lazik* (he/she/it is lazy) or *laznak* (they are lazy) without the passive implication.

The term reflects broader cultural attitudes toward work and leisure in Hungary, where discussions about productivity and laziness are common in both formal and informal contexts. While the phrase itself is straightforward, its usage can vary depending on tone—ranging from neutral observation to mild criticism.
