Szedni is a Hungarian verb meaning to pick, harvest, or collect, and more broadly to take or ingest something, such as medicine. It belongs to the regular class of -ni verbs and uses the stem szed-.

Common uses include agricultural or everyday gathering of fruits, berries, or flowers: for example, szedni gyümölcsöt (to pick fruit) or szedni virágot (to pick flowers). It can also mean to collect items, such as leaves or other objects found in nature or on a property.

In the context of medicine or dosage, szedni means to take something: szedni gyógyszert (to take medicine). A typical sentence might be naponta kétszer szed gyógyszert (to take the medicine twice a day).
