aggódnak

Aggódnak is a Hungarian verb form meaning "they worry" or "they are worried." It is the present indicative third-person plural of the verb aggódni (to worry). The form is used to express that a group experiences concern about a person, a situation, or a future event, often with phrases that indicate the cause or object of concern.

Usage examples include referring to concern for people or outcomes. For instance: A szülők aggódnak a gyerekeikért. (The parents are worried for their children.) A diákok aggódnak a közelgő vizsga miatt. (The students are worried about the upcoming exam.) A város lakói aggódnak az energiaellátás miatt. (The city residents are worried about the energy supply.)

Grammatical notes: aggódnak is the third-person plural present tense form; the corresponding singular form is aggódik (he/she/it worries). The verb can appear with explicit objects or with case-marked phrases such as a gyerekeikért or miatt to indicate what is causing the worry. The negative form is nem aggódnak, and the past tense is aggódtak (they worried).

Related terms include aggódás (worry, anxiety) and aggódó (worried, anxious), which derive from the same root and share the concept of concern. The word is widely used in everyday Hungarian to describe concern about health, safety, outcomes, or uncertain situations.
