Visszaállítanak

Visszaállítanak is a Hungarian verb form meaning “they restore” or “they reinstate.” It is the present tense, third-person plural form of the verb visszaállítani, which means to bring back to a previous state, to reestablish, or to reinstate something that has been changed or removed. The form can be used for actions affecting systems, policies, configurations, or conditions, as well as for more metaphorical restorations.

Etymology and construction: The word is built from the prefix vissza- (meaning back, again) combined with állítani (to set up, to establish). The combination yields visszaállítani, with visszaállítanak functioning as the present-tense plural form. The 3rd-person plural can appear in slightly different orthographic variants in everyday usage, such as visszaállítanak or visszaállítják, both conveying the same basic meaning.

Usage and contexts: Visszaállítanak is common in technical, political, legal, and everyday language. It is used when describing actions that return a system, configuration, or policy to a prior state, or when reestablishing order or norms after a disruption. Examples include restoring a software configuration, reinstating a former policy, or returning a device to its original settings. The term can also be used metaphorically, such as restoring trust or a social condition to what it was previously.

Grammar notes: It is a finite verb in the indicative mood, active voice. The infinitive is visszaállítani, and past tense forms include visszaállítottak (they restored). In practice, visszaállítanak is widely understood and used with plural subjects such as vállalatok (companies), hatóságok (authorities), vagy emberek (people) acting collectively.
