engednek

Engednek is a Hungarian verb form meaning "they allow" or "they permit." It is the third-person plural present indicative form of the verb engedni, which means to permit or to allow. As a finite predicate, engednek marks that the subject performing the action is plural and that permission is being granted by that subject.

Grammatical role and usage patterns: Engednek is used when describing a group or multiple entities giving permission. It often appears in sentences where the subject is a plural noun or pronoun, such as organizations, authorities, or groups, and it can govern subordinate clauses introduced by hogy (that) or be combined with infinitive constructions to express what is permitted. In formal contexts, engednek can convey a sense of sanctioned or official permission; in everyday speech, it may be used more casually to indicate allowance by multiple people.

Relations and related forms: Engedni is the base verb from which engednek derives; related forms include engedem (I permit) and engedték (they permitted) in other tenses. The noun engedés denotes permission or permit as a concept. The form engednek is part of a larger paradigm used to express permission by plural subjects across different tenses and moods, with other persons and numbers formed by corresponding verb endings.

Etymology and usage notes: The root enged- traces to the Hungarian verb engedni, with engednek representing a standard present-tense plural form. It is commonly found in formal or institutional contexts, but its meaning remains straightforward: a group grants permission.
