beszúródik

Beszúródik is a Hungarian intransitive verb that describes the act of something penetrating and becoming lodged in another substance, typically by a sharp object. The focus is on the thing that is pierced rather than on the agent performing the action. Examples include a needle or nail becoming embedded in skin or material, or a splinter sticking into wood or flesh. The term is commonly used for physical punctures and injuries, and it can also be used for mechanical punctures where an object penetrates a surface.

Etymology and form: the verb is formed with the prefix be- (indicating motion into the interior) and the root szúr (to stab or pierce), with the suffix -ódik marking an intransitive, passive-like form. It belongs to the class of -ódik verbs, which describe a state or event affecting the subject.

Usage notes: the subject of beszúródik is usually the thing that becomes penetrated. A typical construction is X beszúródik Y-ba/ba, or simply X beszúródik a Y-be, depending on the case. Common contexts are medical or mechanical: "A tű beszúródik a bőrbe" (The needle has pierced the skin). In past narration one would use beszúródott. The verb contrasts with beszüri or beszúrni (both meaning to stab into something in a transitive sense); beszúródik emphasizes the result—the object is stuck or embedded.

Overall, beszúródik conveys a passive or accidental insertion where a sharp object remains lodged in a surface or tissue, rather than an intentional act performed by a subject.
