Számítja

Számítja is a Hungarian verb form. It is the third-person singular present tense (present indicative) of számítani when the direct object is definite. The root számít means to count, reckon, or calculate. The form számítja signals that the subject is performing a calculation on a specific, identifiable object. In Hungarian, verbs may take a definite object, and the definite-object form often ends with -ja or -je on the verb, which is the pattern seen in számítja.

The form is used across contexts where calculation or counting is attributed to a clearly defined object. This includes mathematical or statistical tasks, financial calculations, data processing, and general phrasing about counting or estimating something that has been previously specified. When the object is not definite, the non-definite form számít is typically used instead.

In practice, számítja can appear in sentences that emphasize a particular item being calculated. For example, a sentence like "Ő számítja azt" translates roughly to "He calculates that/it," with "azt" functioning as the definite object pronoun.

Relation to related forms: számít is the base verb meaning “to count” or “to calculate.” The prefix kilekhöz, kiszámít, and other related forms relate to calculating or working out results, with kiszámítja being the common everyday expression for “calculates out,” especially when emphasizing the completion of the calculation.
