felosztódnak

Felostódnak is a Hungarian reflexive verb form that means “they are divided” or “they split apart.” It is the third‑person plural present tense of felosztódni, which in turn derives from felosztani (“to divide”) combined with the reflexive marker -dni. The root felosztó refers to division or partitioning, while the reflexive suffix indicates that the action is performed against or upon the subject itself.

Grammatically, felosztódnak functions as a transitive verb in passive sense, often used when describing the separation of groups, territories, or objects into distinct parts. It can appear in formal contexts such as administrative documents, historical accounts, and scientific descriptions, as well as in everyday conversation to describe the division of food, responsibilities, or schedules.

Common usage examples include statements like “A terület felosztódnak két részre” (The area is divided into two parts) or “A csapatok felosztódnak a meccs után” (The teams separate after the game). It can also occur in idiomatic expressions, for instance “azon tétel felosztódnak” (that item is split up), indicating a partition of a single item into smaller parts.

In conjugation, the verb changes with person, tense, and mood: I am divided – felosztódom; you are divided – felosztódsz; they are divided – felosztódnak. The reflexive construction also allows passive voice equivalents when the subject is the object of division.

Felosztódnak is related to other reflexive forms such as felosztódik (he/she/it is divided) and deresztő (rare), and it is frequently employed in legal and statistical texts to denote the act of partitioning populations or land.
