Etymology and grammar: The verb felolvasni combines the prefix fel- with the root olvasni (to read). The prefix adds a sense of performing the action aloud. In present tense, the main finite forms are: felolvasom (I read aloud), felolvasol (you read aloud), felolvas (he/she reads aloud), felolvasunk (we read aloud), felolvastok (you read aloud), felolvasnak (they read aloud).

Usage: Felolvasnak describes the act of reading a text aloud to others. It is common in educational settings, public readings, theatre rehearsals, and informal storytelling. The verb is transitive and typically followed by a direct object in the accusative, for example, felolvasnak egy fejezetet (they read aloud a chapter). It can also appear in narratives to describe characters performing an audible reading.

Notes: Felolvasni is the base form, a transitive verb. The related noun felolvasás means "reading aloud." The construction is a standard example of a Hungarian prefixed verb, where the prefix fel- accompanies the root olvasni to indicate the specific action of reading aloud.
