elrendezni

Elrendezni is a Hungarian verb meaning to arrange, organize, or settle a matter. It is used for both physical actions, such as putting items in order, and more abstract tasks, such as planning a sequence or resolving a dispute. The action is transitive, typically taking a direct object, and refers to bringing something into a desired or orderly state.

The word is formed from the root rendezni, “to arrange,” with the prefix el-, which in many contexts conveys a sense of completion, realization, or bringing to a final state. With el-, the verb often denotes making the arrangement concrete or achieving a settled condition, rather than merely starting the process.

Common usages cover several senses: arranging objects or spaces (furniture, seating, a room), organizing schedules or orders of events (the agenda of a meeting, the layout of an exhibition), and resolving or settling issues or disputes (elrendezni egy vitát, egy ügyet). The exact interpretation depends on the object and context.

Examples:

- A szobát elrendeztem. (I tidied the room.)

- Az ülés napirendjét elrendeztük. (We arranged the agenda for the meeting.)

- A vitát elrendezték. (They resolved the dispute.)

In everyday Hungarian, elrendezni is versatile and commonly used in both practical and formal contexts to indicate bringing something into order, completion, or resolution.
