bezáródnak

Bezáródnak is a Hungarian verb form describing a state change in which something becomes closed or shuts on its own. It is the present tense, third-person plural form of bezáródni, a middle-voice or intransitive verb built with the prefix be-, the root zár (to close), and the suffix -ódik. The construction emphasizes that the closure occurs to the subject rather than being performed by a direct object.

Usage and meaning

The form is typically used for inanimate subjects such as doors, gates, shutters, windows, or compartments, and for mechanisms or processes that bring about a closed state automatically or as a natural result of a system’s operation. It highlights the transition from open to closed rather than an action carried out by an agent on something else. The verb can describe automatic closures, environmental effects, or mechanical shutoffs.

Grammatical notes

Bezáródnak is the plural of bezáródik in the present tense. The corresponding singular form is bezáródik (he/she/it closes itself). The verb is intransitive; a separate verb bezár (to close something) is used when a subject actively closes a specific object.

Examples

Az ajtók bezáródnak maguktól. The doors close by themselves.

Az ablakok bezáródnak a szél miatt. The windows close due to the wind.

A kapuk bezáródnak, amikor a vihar kitör. The gates close when the storm breaks.
