eltörik

eltörik is a Hungarian verb meaning "to break." It is the third-person singular, present tense, indicative form of the verb "eltörni." This verb describes a physical object or substance fracturing or shattering into pieces. It can also be used metaphorically to describe the breaking of a promise, a spirit, or a rule. The past tense is "eltört" and the future tense is "eltörik" (though the future tense is often formed with the auxiliary verb "fog" as "el fog törni"). The verb is commonly used in everyday conversation to describe everyday occurrences. For instance, one might say "Az üveg eltörik" (The glass breaks) or "A biciklim eltört" (My bicycle broke). The root of the word is "tör," meaning "to break." The prefix "el-" often indicates completion or a change of state, suggesting that the breaking is a completed action. The verb is transitive when it implies an external force causing the break, and intransitive when the object breaks on its own. Understanding the nuances of "eltörik" is important for comprehending Hungarian sentences related to breakage and failure.
