Szigorítják

Szigorítják is a Hungarian verb form meaning “they tighten” or “they are tightening.” It is the present tense, third-person plural form of the transitive verb szigorítani, which means to make something stricter or more severe. The construction typically requires an object in the accusative to indicate what is being tightened, for example szabályokat (rules), feltételeket (conditions), határokat (limits), vagy ellenőrzéseket (controls).

In usage, szigorítják appears frequently in news reports, policy statements, and official communications to describe actions by governments, agencies, or organizations that increase the strictness of regulations or practices. Common contexts include tightening immigration policies, financial or safety regulations, and enforcement practices. The form often signals ongoing or planned action rather than a completed change; past tense equivalents include szigorították (they tightened).

Etymology and related forms: The verb szigorítani comes from the noun szigor, meaning strictness or severity. The related noun szigorítás denotes the act of tightening or stiffening a rule or policy. Other related forms include szigorító (pertaining to tightening measures) and, in different persons and tenses, szigorítok, szigorítasz, szigorítja, és so on.

Examples:

- A jogalkotók szigorítják a szabályokat. (The lawmakers are tightening the rules.)

- A hatóságok szigorítják a bevándorlási politikát. (The authorities are tightening the immigration policy.)

- A vállalat szigorítja a belső előírásokat. (The company tightens its internal regulations.)

Szigorítják thus describes the act of making rules or practices more stringent, a common feature of political, regulatory, and organizational discourse.
