Szemlélik

Szemlélik is a Hungarian verb form meaning “they observe” or “they examine.” It is the third-person plural present indicative form of the verb szemlél, whose infinitive is szemlélni. The root szemlél is related to the concept of looking or gazing, and the word often carries a sense of attentive, deliberate observation.

In usage, szemlélik denotes careful or evaluative observation rather than a casual glance. It is common in formal, journalistic, and literary contexts where actors such as researchers, analysts, or observers are described as examining data, phenomena, or responses. The sense can extend to thoughtful consideration or appraisal of something from a particular standpoint.

Grammatical notes: szemlélik is part of standard Hungarian verb conjugation and appears with a subject in the third-person plural. The related infinitive is szemlélni, and a variety of derived forms exist, including nouns such as szemlélés (the act of observing) and szemlélő (observer).

Examples:

- A kutatók szemlélik az adatokat. (The researchers observe the data.)

- A tanácsadók szemlélik a diákok reakcióit. (The consultants observe the students’ reactions.)

See also: szemlélés, szemlélő. These terms form part of the same lexical family, focusing on observation and the act of looking.
