gazdagodik

Gazdagodik is a Hungarian verb meaning to become rich or to grow wealthy. It denotes a change of state in which wealth or prosperity increases for the subject. The action is intransitive, describing a process rather than an action performed on an object, and is commonly used in economic, social, or literary contexts.

Etymology and formation: the verb is derived from the adjective gazdag (rich) with the productive suffix -odik (a variant of -ődik), which forms verbs that express a gradual or ongoing change of state. Related verbs include gyarapodik (to increase, to grow) and szegényedik (to become poor). The noun form referring to the process is gazdagodás.

Usage: gazdagodik appears in both formal and everyday Czech contexts within Hungarian texts, often about the wealth of a country, city, company, or family. Examples include: "Az ország gazdagodik" (The country is getting wealthier) and "A város gazdagodik" (The city is prospering). The verb can be negated as nem gazdagodik, and it follows standard conjugation patterns for -odik verbs. The past tense form is gazdagodott.

Grammatical notes: gazdagodik is intransitive and behaves like other change-of-state verbs in Hungarian. In present tense, the third-person singular form is gazdagodik; the past tense form is gazdagodott. The verb fits within common subject–verb agreement patterns (én gazdagodom/gazdagodok, te gazdagodsz, ő gazdagodik, mi gazdagodunk, ti gazdagodtok, ők gazdagodnak), with exact forms following regular conjugation rules for this class.

Related terms: gazdagodás (enrichment, growth of wealth), meggazdagodik (to become rich, often implying significant wealth accumulation), and a range of contrasts such as szegényedik (to become poor).
