behozni

Behozni is a Hungarian verb formed with the prefix be- attached to hozni, meaning to bring or carry something into a space or to bring something in a figurative sense, such as revenue. The primary sense is physical: to bring an object indoors or into a specified location. A secondary, common sense is economic or evaluative: to generate or bring in money, profit, or other measurable results.

Etymology and usage

The word combines the spatial prefix be- (into, inside) with hozni (to bring). In everyday language it governs transitive constructions, typically with a direct object in the accusative case: someone brings something into a place (behozni valamit) or brings money or results into a situation (behozni bevételt, profits, or data). The prefix emphasizes movement toward the interior or accumulation within a system.

Examples

- A postás behozta a levelet. (The postman brought the letter in.)

- Behoztam a holmimat a nappaliba. (I brought my clothes into the living room.)

- Ez a projekt sok bevételt hozott be. (This project brought in a lot of revenue.)
