feszülnek

Feszülnek is a Hungarian verb that translates to "they are tensing," "they are stretching," or "they are becoming tense." It is the third-person plural present indefinite indicative form of the verb "feszül." The root of the word is "fesz," which relates to tension, pressure, or stretching.

The verb can be used in various contexts. In a physical sense, it describes muscles tensing before an action or a rope being stretched taut. For example, "Az izmai feszülnek a rajtvonalon" means "His muscles are tensing at the starting line." It can also refer to the stretching of materials, such as fabric or a piece of metal.

Figuratively, "feszülnek" can describe a state of emotional or psychological tension. This might refer to people being anxious, nervous, or under pressure. For instance, "A két fél között a viszony feszül" (though this uses the singular form) illustrates a tense relationship. In the plural, "A hangulatok feszülnek a teremben" could mean "The moods in the room are becoming tense."

The verb implies a process of becoming tense rather than a static state of being tense, which would often be conveyed by other related words or phrases. It suggests an increase in tension or strain.
