Neveznek

Neveznek is a Hungarian verb form used when the subject is plural and the action concerns naming or designating something or someone. It is derived from nevezni, the verb meaning “to name” or “to designate.” In standard Hungarian, the present tense third-person plural form of nevezni is commonly seen as nevezik, but the form part “neveznek” occurs in several compounds and prefixed variants, notably in elneveznek (to name after) and kineveznek (to appoint). Thus, neveznek can function as the stem in broader verbal constructions that express naming or designation.

Usage and meaning in context

Neveznek appears in contexts where multiple subjects perform a naming or designation action. The semantic range includes naming a person to a role, naming a place or thing by a particular name, or designating something with a name. In compound forms, the sense can shift toward specific types of naming actions, such as giving a name after someone (elnevezni) or appointing someone to a position (kinevezni).

Relation to related forms

Neveznek is part of a family built from nevezni and related verbs such as megnevezni (to identify or name), elnevezni (to name after), and kinevezni (to appoint). The common noun related to these verbs is név (name). Etymologically, nevezni traces to the root related to név, with the -ezni verb-forming pattern typical of Hungarian.
