Leírnak

Leírnak is a Hungarian verb form meaning “they write down” or “they describe in writing.” It is the third-person plural present indicative form of the verb leírni, whose infinitive is leírni. The prefix le- combined with írni gives a sense of writing out or documenting something in full.

Usage and meaning

Leírnak is a transitive verb and typically takes a direct object in the accusative, such as a text, note, or description. It can refer to writing down information exactly as it is, or to providing a written description or account. In everyday usage, leírnak often conveys the act of documenting details, steps, rules, or observations in written form. It is related to, but distinct from, the simple act of writing (írnak); leírnak emphasizes producing a written record or description.

Examples

- A diákok leírnak egy rövid összefoglalót a leckéről. (The students write down a short summary of the lesson.)

- A tudósok leírnak egy kísérletet a jelentéshez vagy egy tanulmányhoz. (The scientists describe or document an experiment in a report or study.)

Notes

Leírnak forms part of the broader verb leírni family, which includes other tenses and moods (for example leírt, leírást készít, etc.). The prefix le- signals a sense of writing out or recording something in detail.
