fogadják

Fogadják is a Hungarian verb form: it is the third-person plural present indicative form of the verb fogad, which means to receive, to accept, or to welcome. The form is used when the action is directed at a direct object, such as people or things being received or welcomed. If there is no direct object, the standard 3rd-person plural present form is fogadnak.

Morphology and usage details: fogadják is created by adding the personal ending -ják to the stem fogad-, with phonological adjustment resulting in fogadják. This form appears in sentences where the subjects welcome, receive, or host something or someone. The presence of an object is a key factor in choosing fogadják rather than fogadnak; for example, fogadják a vendégeket means “they welcome the guests,” whereas fogadnak would be used without a following object.

Examples:

- Ők fogadják a vendégeket. They welcome the guests.

- A ház vezetői fogadják az érkezőt. The hosts welcome the arrival person (with appropriate object form).

Related forms: fogadnak is the 3rd-person plural present form without a following direct object, meaning “they receive/welcome” in a more general sense. The verb fogad has other forms across tenses and moods, and is contrasted with elfogad, which more specifically means “to accept” or “to approve” a proposal or invitation.

In summary, fogadják is the present-tense, third-person plural form of fogad used when there is a direct object, most commonly translated as “they welcome” or “they receive.”
