emlékezteti

emlékezteti is a Hungarian verb. It is the third-person singular definite form of the verb emlékeztet, meaning "to remind". The definite conjugation is used when the object of the reminder is specified. For example, "A régi dal emlékezteti őt a gyerekkorára" translates to "The old song reminds him/her of his/her childhood." Here, "a gyerekkorára" (his/her childhood) is the specified object.

The verb emlékeztet is derived from the noun emlék, meaning "memory" or "remembrance." The suffix "-tet" indicates causativity, so emlékeztet literally means "to cause to remember." This verb is fundamental in expressing the act of triggering a memory in someone.

When used in the indefinite form, emlékeztet (without the final "-i") would mean "reminds" in a general sense, without specifying what is being reminded of, or without a specific object. However, emlékezteti is the more common and specific form when referring to an action directed at a particular person or thing. It is frequently encountered in everyday Hungarian conversation and literature.
