Rakják

Rakják is the third-person plural present tense form of the Hungarian verb rakni, meaning to place, put, or lay. It functions as a finite verb used when the subject is they or an implied plural. The form is formed from the stem rak- with the present-tense suffix that marks the third-person plural, commonly written as -ják. It may appear with a definite direct object and with spatial or directional elements.

Usage and examples: Rakják is used to describe actions performed by multiple subjects. For example, in the sentence “Ők a könyveket az asztalra rakják,” it means “They place the books on the table.” The object can be definite or indefinite, and rakják often appears in everyday narration to indicate placement or arrangement of items.

Grammatical notes: Rakják conveys present action by a plural subject. It is the finite verb form and is inflected for number and person, not for tense alone. In many contexts, the sentence order may vary, with the object or directional phrases preceding or following the verb, depending on emphasis and sentence structure. Past and future meanings are expressed with other tenses or auxiliary constructions (e.g., rakták for past, or future forms with appropriate markers).

Related terms and derivatives: rakni (to place), rakás (a pile), raktár (warehouse), be-/fel-/le-rakni (to place into, onto, or onto/away as part of phrasal verbs). These terms share the same root and fundamental sense of placing or arranging items.
