The sense includes missing a deadline, missing an appointment, or neglecting an obligation.

Morphology and usage: Elmulasztják requires a direct object referring to the action or event that was not completed, for example a deadline, meeting, or opportunity. The infinitive is elmulasztani, and the form is built with the prefix el- added to mulasztani. The present tense forms include elmulasztom, elmulasztasz, elmulasztja, elmulasztjuk, elmulasztjátok, elmulasztják. The past tense forms are elmulasztottam, elmulasztottad, elmulasztotta, elmulasztottuk, elmulasztottátok, elmulasztották. The negation is formed with nem, as in nem elmulasztják (they do not miss).

Nuances and context: Elmulasztják often conveys that something should have been done or attended to, but was not, potentially with negative consequences. It can express both accidental omissions and negligent actions, depending on context. It is commonly used in formal and informal writing, news reports, and everyday speech.
