betölti

Betölti is a Hungarian verb in its present third-person singular form, from the infinitive betölteni, meaning to fill, to load, or to occupy. The verb can denote filling a container, loading a vessel or device, or occupying a position or role. It is also used metaphorically to indicate meeting or satisfying a condition, need, or requirement.

Etymology and form: Betölteni consists of the prefix be- added to tölteni (to fill). This prefix signifies movement into or completion of an action. Betölti, betöltött, and other forms are regular in conjugation, with the present tense forms being töltöm, töltöd, betölti, betöltjük, betöltitek, betöltik for I fill, you fill, he/she/it fills, we fill, you all fill, they fill, respectively. The past tense forms include betöltöttem, betöltötted, betöltötte, etc., and the past participle is betöltött. The noun betöltés refers to filling or loading, while betöltő can denote something that fills or an occupier in certain contexts.

Usage notes: In physical contexts, betölti is used for items being filled, such as a tank or bottle. In occupational contexts, it means to occupy or fill a position, e.g., betölti a megüresedett posztot (He/She fills the vacant post). The verb can also be extended to figurative senses, such as fulfilling a requirement or meeting a need. In computing, related terms such as betöltés can refer to loading software or data into memory, though feltöltés is often used for uploading data to a server.
