Nagyítanak

Nagyítanak is a Hungarian verb form: the present tense, third-person plural of nagyít, meaning they magnify or they enlarge. The verb is built from the root nagy (big) with the transitive suffix -ít, and it requires a direct object. In addition to literal enlargement, it can be used figuratively to mean exaggerating or inflating something.

The verb is commonly used with objects such as images, numbers, or statements. In scientific or technical contexts it refers to enlarging an image or a detail, for example by a magnifying lens or digital zoom: a fényképet nagyítják, hogy a részletek jobban láthatók legyenek. In publishing or accounting contexts, it can also mean inflating figures or exaggerating claims: a bevételeket nagyítják, ami félrevezető lehet.

Nagyítanak has a distinct figurative use as well. It can describe sensationalizing a story or overstating a problem: egyes beszámolók a helyzet súlyosságát nagyítják. The sense depends on the object and context, ranging from neutral technical magnification to critical or evaluative exaggeration.

Related forms include the noun nagyítás (magnification), the device called nagyító (magnifier), and the adjective/noun-based derivatives used in technical writing. The term remains common in photography, printing, optics, media, and everyday language when describing enlargement or overstatement.
