elutasítják

Elutasítják is a Hungarian verb form meaning “they reject” or “they refuse.” It is the third-person plural present indicative active form of the verb elutasítani, which means to reject or turn down. The infinitive is elutasítani. The form elutasítják is built from the stem elutasít- with the present-tense plural ending -ják.

In use, elutasítják denotes that multiple subjects are performing the action of rejecting something in the present. It commonly takes a direct object in the accusative, such as a proposal, application, or suggestion. For example: A javaslatot elutasították (They rejected the proposal) and A pályázatot elutasítják (They reject the application / The application is rejected).

The word belongs to a family of compound verbs formed with prefix el- to indicate a completed or directional modification of meaning, a common pattern in Hungarian. Elutasítani has related forms including elutasítás (rejection) and elutasító (rejecting or rejecting-type).

Usage notes: elutasítják can appear in formal contexts such as governmental decisions, administrative proceedings, and media reporting, as well as in everyday speech when describing a refusal. Its exact nuance is a straightforward act of declining or turning down something, rather than softer terms like “to refuse” or “to decline,” depending on context. See also elutasítás for the noun form and visszautasítás for different senses of denial or refusal.
