bezáródik

Bezáródik is a Hungarian verb that means to close itself or to become closed. It is the intransitive, middle-voice form derived from bezárni (to close) with the prefix be- and the suffix -ódik. The focus is on a change of state experienced by the subject rather than on an agent causing another object to close.

The verb is commonly used with inanimate subjects such as doors, windows, gates, shutters, or compartments, when they close on their own or as a result of a process. It can also describe closures of institutions or services in terms of hours or access, for example: “A bolt bezáródik este hatkor” (The shop closes at six in the evening). In broader or figurative usage, bezáródik can refer to things that become sealed or blocked, or to closures in a metaphorical sense (“bezáródnak a lehetőségek” — the possibilities close).

Grammatical notes: bezáródik expresses a change of state and is used with a subject in the nominative case. It typically appears in the third-person singular present tense as bezáródik (it closes by itself). Other tenses are formed regularly with the same root, e.g., bezáródott (closed, has closed). If the intention is to close a thing directly, the transitive verb bezárni is used, as in “bezárta az ajtót” (he closed the door).
