böngészek

Böngészek is the first-person singular present indicative form of the Hungarian verb böngész, meaning “I browse.” It denotes the act of perusing or scanning through information, such as documents, data, or web pages. In everyday usage, böngészek describes a personal, ongoing activity of looking through content rather than a specific object.

Böngész, böngészés, and böngésző are related terms. The infinitive böngészni refers to the act of browsing, while böngészés is the noun for that activity (the act of browsing). The word böngésző is the standard noun for a program or device that performs browsing, i.e., a web browser. These terms are widely used in the context of information retrieval and computing, with phrases like interneten böngészni or webböngésző used to describe online browsing.

In modern Hungarian, böngészés is commonly applied to internet use, where a user navigates between websites, searches for information, and reads content. The form böngészek is primarily a grammatical person form in speech and writing; it is not a thematic noun or a standalone label for a group. The corresponding plural or other persons are böngészel (you browse), böngészik (he/she/they browse), and so on, while the software-based browser remains böngésző.

Overall, böngészek sits within a family of terms centered on the activity of browsing and its tools, distinct from the hardware or software noun böngésző. See also böngészés and böngésző for related concepts.
