Variálódik

Variálódik is a Hungarian verb form meaning "it varies," "it becomes varied," or "undergoes variation." It derives from the base variál (a loanword from languages such as German or Latin relating to "vary") combined with the suffix -ódik, which often indicates inchoative or passive processes in Hungarian. The infinitive is variálódni, present third-person singular is variálódik, and past tense is variálódott.

The term is used in general language to describe processes that show variability or change in character, frequency, size, form, or intensity. In scientific contexts it can describe biological variation, statistical fluctuation, or changing experimental conditions. In music and the arts, variálódik may describe themes or motifs that are being varied. It is stylistically more specific than the common Hungarian verb változik ("to change") and often carries a nuance of deliberate or patterned variation.

Usage examples include sentences such as "A klimatikus adatok erősen variálódnak az évek során" ("The climatic data vary strongly over the years") or "A dallam a második részben variálódik" ("The melody is varied in the second part"). Synonyms and related expressions include változik, módosul, and különbözővé válik, though choices depend on context and register.
