Támogatják

Támogatják is a Hungarian verb form meaning they support. It comes from the infinitive támogatatni (to support) and is the present tense, third-person plural form. In use, it describes actions carried out by a plural subject, and can refer to financial, logistical, moral, or organizational backing.

Morphology and usage notes: The stem is támogat-, and the personal ending -ják marks the third person plural in the present tense. The form is common in news reports, organizational statements, and everyday language when referring to multiple actors that provide support to a person, project, or cause. It can be followed by a direct object, as in they support something (támogatják a programot), or by a clause indicating what is being supported (támogatják, hogy...). The subject is typically a plural noun or a compound noun phrase.

Examples illustrate typical contexts: A vállalatok támogatják a kutatást. The companies support the research. A civil szervezetek támogatják a közösségi programot. The civil organizations support the community program. In political or public discourse, alike forms may describe coalition or governmental support for initiatives.

Related terms include támogatás (support, backing) and támogató (supporter, sponsor), from the same verb family. Támogatják functions as a standard finite verb form in present tense, used wherever the subject is plural and the action of supporting is described.
