Progresszálni

Progresszálni is a Hungarian verb meaning to make progress or to advance in a task, project, or process. It is a loanword formed from the English word progress, adapted with the Hungarian infinitive suffix -ni to yield progresszálni. The related noun progresszálás denotes the act of progressing. In more formal Hungarian, native alternatives such as előrehaladni or fejlődni are often preferred.

Usage and register: The term is common in contemporary, especially IT, business, and project-management contexts. It tends to appear in informal or semi-formal language and in multinational environments where English influence is strong. In formal writing, it is typical to substitute native verbs like előrehaladni or haladni to avoid anglicisms. When used, progresszálni can be either intransitive (the project progresses) or transitive in the sense of actively driving progress in a project or process.

Conjugation and syntax: Like other Hungarian -álni verbs, progresszálni follows standard conjugation patterns. Example forms include progresszálok, progresszálsz, progresszál, progresszálunk, progresszáltok, progresszálnak. In the perfect, one might see progresszált vagy progresszáltam depending on the aspect and auxiliary used.

Related terms: Progresszió (progression) appears in some technical or medical contexts to describe a progression of a condition, but is less common than native terms. Other synonyms conveying development or advancement include előrehaladás, előrehaladni, and fejlődni.

Examples: A csapat progresszálja a projektet. A rendszer az új funkciókkal progresszál a következő iterációban.
