elkapja

elkapja is a Hungarian verb. It is the third-person singular, definite present tense form of the verb "elkapni". The verb "elkapni" has multiple meanings, depending on the context. One common meaning is to catch something, such as catching a ball or catching a train. It can also mean to catch a disease, as in "elkapta a náthát" (he/she caught a cold). Another usage is to apprehend or capture, often in the context of law enforcement. For example, "a rendőrség elkapta a tolvajt" means the police caught the thief. In a more figurative sense, "elkapni valamit" can mean to pick up a habit or a trend, or to grasp an idea. The definite conjugation, "elkapja", indicates that the action is directed towards a specific, known object. For instance, if someone is trying to catch a specific bird, they might say "elkapja a madarat" (he/she is catching the bird). The root of the verb is "kapni", meaning to get or receive, with the prefix "el-" often indicating completion, removal, or a directional aspect. Therefore, "elkapni" generally implies a more active and successful act of catching or acquiring compared to just "kapni".
