behelyettesítjük

behelyettesítjük is a Hungarian verb form that means "we replace" or "we substitute." It derives from the verb behelyettesíteni, which itself combines the prefix be- (meaning "into" or "in") with the root helyettes (from helyettes, meaning "substitute" or "alternate") and the infinitive suffix -íteni. The conjugation shown here is the first‑person plural present tense of behelyettesíteni.

In everyday usage, behelyettesítjük is employed when speaking about substituting one thing for another within a set, process, or location. For example, a teacher might say, "Ha emdést nincs, behelyettesítjük a könyvvel," meaning "If we don’t have a textbook, we will replace it with the book." Corporate contexts also use the verb when describing product updates, such as, "A régi szervert behelyettesítjük új, biztonságosabb berendezéssel."

Grammatically, the form ends in -jük, the standard Hungarian first‑person plural marker. Related forms include behelyettesítek (I replace), behelyettesítünk (we replace in a more general sense), and behelyettesítés (replacement). The verbal noun behelyettesítés is frequently used in technical documentation to refer to the act of substitution.
