Visszaviszi

Visszaviszi is a Hungarian verb form meaning “takes back” or “returns (something) to its owner or to its previous location.” It is the third-person singular present tense of the verb visszavisz, which combines the root visz (to carry, to take) with the prefix vissza- meaning back or again.

Grammatical notes: The prefix vissza- attaches to verbs to indicate movement toward the starting point. Visszaviszi denotes a completed action of returning something. The infinitive form of the prefixed verb is visszavisz, and the form visszaviszi is used specifically for third-person singular present. Other forms exist for different subjects and tenses, such as visszaviszem (I take back) or visszaviszed (you take back).

Usage: Visszaviszi is used when describing someone returning a thing they previously took or borrowed. The object typically follows the verb in the sentence, while the destination or return location is expressed with a directional phrase. Examples include: “Ő visszaviszi a kölcsönadott könyvet a könyvtárba” (He will return the borrowed book to the library) and “A futár visszaviszi a csomagot a címzetthez” (The courier takes the package back to the addressee).

Related terms: visszavisz (to take back, in base or infinitive sense), visszaküld (to return to a sender/owner), visz (to carry). The prefix vissza- is productive in Hungarian and appears with many verbs to indicate movement back to a prior place or state.
