Létesít

Létesít is a Hungarian verb meaning to establish or set up, especially in formal or official contexts. It is a transitive verb and requires a direct object, as in létesít egy új parkot or a hatóság létesít egy ügynökséget. The action conveyed is bringing something into existence and operational status, typically by an institution, government body, or company.

In usage, létesít is common in administrative, legal, and institutional language. It often refers to creating facilities, systems, programs, or organizations, rather than to purely private or casual actions. For example, egy önkormányzat létesít egy közösségi központot or a vállalat létesít egy új logisztikai központot. The noun forms létesítés (the establishment) and létesítmény (a facility or installation) are frequently used in related contexts.

Etymology and form: létesít is formed with the causative sense from the root associated with existence (lét) and a causative/causal suffix pattern common in Hungarian. The word appears primarily in formal registers and may be paired with other verbs such as alapít or létrehoz, depending on the nuance of creation versus establishment.

Translations and nuances: in English, létesít is often rendered as to establish, to set up, or to found, depending on the object. It tends to be distinct from alapít (to found, especially organizations or companies) and létrehoz (to bring into existence in a broader sense). Overall, létesít conveys formal creation and operationalization by an authority or organization.
