elhárítja

The Hungarian verb *elhárítja* is the third-person singular present tense form of the verb *elhárít*. The root verb *elhárít* means "to avert," "to ward off," or "to prevent," and is derived from the prefix *el-* (meaning "away," "off," or "prevent") combined with the verb *hárít* ("to deflect" or "to turn aside").

The verb *elhárít* is commonly used in contexts where an action or negative outcome is successfully prevented or blocked. For example, it can describe deflecting an attack, avoiding a problem, or mitigating harm. In a broader sense, it may also refer to psychological or emotional strategies used to avoid distress or discomfort.

The conjugation of *elhárít* follows standard Hungarian verb patterns. In addition to *elhárítja* (third-person singular present), other common forms include *elhárítom* (first-person singular present), *elhárítod* (second-person singular present), and *elhárítjuk* (first-person plural present). The past tense forms, such as *elhárítottam* (first-person singular past), indicate completed actions.

This verb is often used in both literal and figurative contexts. Literally, it might describe physical actions like blocking a projectile or redirecting a flow of water. Figuratively, it can refer to avoiding emotional pain, sidestepping a difficult situation, or preventing a negative consequence. The verb is versatile and appears in various fields, including military strategy, conflict resolution, and personal coping mechanisms.

While *elhárít* is a transitive verb, meaning it requires a direct object, its usage depends on the context to convey the intended meaning clearly. The verb’s prefix *el-* emphasizes the idea of removal or prevention, distinguishing it from verbs like *hárít*, which lacks this nuance.
