cselekszi

cselekszi is the third-person singular definite present tense form of the Hungarian verb cselekedni, meaning to act or to perform. This form is used when the direct object of the verb is definite, a feature of Hungarian grammar known as the definite conjugation. In contrast, the indefinite present tense uses the form cselekszik, without the definite object suffix.

Grammatically, cselekszi is derived from the root cseleked-, with the suffix -zi marking the 3rd person singular definite conjugation in the present tense. The definite conjugation is common when the action is performed on a specific, identifiable object or in a context made definite by the sentence structure or discourse. The verb can appear with various definite objects such as ezt, azt, ezt a dolgot, or a following phrase like a következőt, illustrating how Hungarian marks definiteness on the verb itself.

Usage and nuance: cselekszi conveys that the act is directed toward or involves a definite object or outcome. It is more common in formal, literary, or instructional contexts, and it can appear in narratives or expository writing where the speaker emphasizes a specific, determinate action.

Related terms include cselekvés (action, activity) and cselekedet (deed, act), from which cselekedni and the related forms originate. The form cselekszi highlights the language’s system of definite-object conjugation, a distinctive feature of Hungarian verb morphology.
