gyakorolják

Gyakorolják is a Hungarian verb form derived from gyakorolni, meaning to practice, drill, or rehearse. It represents the present tense, third-person plural, definite conjugation. In Hungarian, the definite conjugation is used when the direct object is definite, and the suffix -ják attaches to the stem gyakorol- to yield gyakorolják. When the object is not definite or omitted, the third-person plural present form is gyakorolnak.

Meaning and use

Gyakorolják expresses that a plural subject is practicing something specific. It is commonly used in educational, athletic, musical, and linguistic contexts to describe deliberate, repeated practice of particular material or procedures. The meaning can be interpreted as “they practice it” or “they are practicing (it)” depending on the sentence’s context.

Examples

Ők gyakorolják a szavakat. They practice the words.

A csapat gyakorolja a taktikai feladatokat. The team practices the tactical tasks. (note: the subject is treated as a singular group; the form may vary with subject agreement)

Relation to other forms

Gyakorolni in its base form is the infinitive; gyakorolják is one of the present-tense forms used with a definite object. If the object is indefinite or omitted, the form gyakorolnak is typically used for “they practice.”

Etymology and related terms

The verb stems from gyakorlat (practice, exercise) and the suffix -ol- plus person-number endings. Related terms include gyakorlat (practice/exercise) and gyakorlás (practice, training).
