Másolom

Másolom is the first-person singular present tense form of the Hungarian verb másolni, meaning to copy or imitate. The word is used for duplicating physical material, reproducing data in digital form, and, in a broader sense, imitating someone’s style or behavior. In everyday language as well as computing, másolni and its forms cover both manual and automated copying.

In practice, másolom can appear in contexts such as copying a file or document, duplicating information for backup, or copying text from one place to another. For example: Másolom ezt a fájlt a célmappába. Másolom az adatokat a külső meghajtóra. In computing, the noun másoló refers to a copier or a copying program, and másolás denotes the action or process of copying.

Related forms include the infinitive másolni, the past tense másoltam/másoltál, and the participles másoló (present participle) and másolt (past participle). A closely related verb with a nuance of verbatim reproduction is lemásolni, used to emphasize copying word-for-word, though common usage often overlaps with másolni in everyday language.

Etymology of másolni is not typically traced to a single source in concise dictionaries, but the term is firmly established in Hungarian core vocabulary and is widely used in both spoken language and technical contexts.
