Szabják

Szabják is a Hungarian verb form. It is the third-person plural present indicative of the verb szabni, which means to tailor, to fit, or to regulate. The form is used when the subject is plural, conveying actions such as “they tailor,” “they fit,” or “they regulate,” depending on context.

In everyday language, szabják most commonly appears in tailoring or clothing contexts. For example, A szabók szabják a ruhát means “the tailors tailor the dress.” The same form can also appear in contexts of setting or determining standards, rules, or measurements, as in sentences where a group defines criteria or regulations, such as a szervezet szabályait szabják meg (the organization sets the rules). The exact sense is determined by the surrounding words.

Morphology and related forms: Szabják derives from szabni (infinitive). The past tense form is szabták (they tailored or they regulated in the past). The present infinitive is szabni, and other person-number forms align with standard Hungarian conjugation patterns for this verb class.

Notes: Szabják is primarily a verb form, not a standalone noun. In onomastics, Szabják may also appear as a Hungarian surname, linked etymologically to Szabó, the occupational name for a tailor. However, as a surname, it is a distinct use rather than a direct verbal form.
