felkelnek

Felkelnek is a Hungarian verb form. It is the third-person plural present indicative of the verb felkelni, which means to rise or to get up. The form is used when the subject is plural, such as a group of people or animals capable of waking or standing up.

Etymology and meaning: The prefix fel- indicates upward movement, and kelni denotes rising or waking. Together, felkelni describes the action of getting up from a resting position or waking up. In addition to literal waking, felkelni can be used in figurative contexts to describe a group of people rising up in support of a cause or in revolt.

Usage and grammar: The base verb felkelni has several present-tense forms. For example, felkelek (I rise), felkelsz (you rise), felkel (he/she/it rises), felkelünk (we rise), felkeltek (you plural rise), and felkelnek (they rise). A typical sentence would be: Minden reggel felkelnek az ágyból, és elindulnak a nap felé. This form is common in everyday speech to describe multiple subjects waking up or getting up.

Related terms: The noun felkelés means uprising or uprising event, and felkelő can refer to one who rises or a rising entity. These related forms share the same root and prefix, illustrating how a single verb concept extends into nouns and participial adjectives in Hungarian.
