Megtestesítik

Megtestesítik is a Hungarian verb in the third-person plural present tense of megtestesíteni. It means to embody, incarnate, or materialize a concept, value, or role in a tangible or concrete form. The prefix meg- indicates realization or completion, and the stem testesít relates to giving form or substance to something abstract.

The term is commonly used with abstract objects such as ideals, values, or principles, as well as with roles or identities that are expressed through concrete actions or institutions. It can appear in literary, political, and social discourse when describing how ideas are projected into reality or how individuals or groups exemplify certain characteristics.

Usage notes: megtestesítik typically requires a direct object in the accusative, naming what is being embodied. The form contrasts with megtestesíteni in the singular (megtestesíti) and with related nouns such as megtestesítés, the embodiment or realization of an idea. The construction is neutral and widely applicable, though most natural in contexts discussing ideology, leadership, or cultural symbolism.

Examples:

- A hősök megtestesítik az önfeláldozást.

- Az eszmék megtestesítik a társadalom vágyait.

- A program megtestesíti a várospolitika legfontosabb értékeit.
