gyarapít

gyarapít is a Hungarian verb meaning to increase, augment, or enrich something by adding to it. It is used when someone or something enlarges a quantity, level, or value—such as wealth, resources, population, or knowledge. The action is transitive; it takes a direct object in the accusative, and the subject performs the action. The noun form is gyarapítás, referring to the process or result of enrichment, and gyarapító can denote an agent or instrument that causes growth. Etymologically, the word is built from the verb stem gyarap- with the causative suffix -ít, and is related to gyarapodás, the intransitive noun for ‘increase’ or ‘growth.’

Typical contexts include business, economics, and demographics: a company gyarapítja nyereségét; a város gyarapítja lakosságát; a költségvetés célja, hogy gyarapítsa a tartalékokat; a tanár gyarapítja a diákok tudását. The term often carries a neutral or formal tone and can also imply steady, planned enlargement, as opposed to sudden gains.

In contrast, gyarapodik means to grow or increase on its own, while gyarapítani focuses on causing the increase. The concept is common in Hungarian-language discourse about finance, population, education, and development.
