hagyják

Hagyják is a Hungarian verb form derived from hagyni, meaning to let, leave, or permit. It is the present tense, third-person plural form used when the subject is "they." The form can express both physical leaving (leaving a place) and the more abstract sense of permitting or allowing someone to do something.

In usage, hagyni covers several related meanings. It can describe removing or leaving something behind, as in Elhagyják a várost (They leave the city) or Hagyják ott a kulcsokat (They leave the keys there). It can also convey permission or tolerance, especially in clauses introduced by hogy, such as Hagyják, hogy a gyerekek játszhassanak (They allow the children to play).

grammatical notes: hagyják is the definite-conjugation form, which appears when the object is definite or when a clause follows with hogy. It is contrasted with the singular hagyja (he/she/it lets/omits) and other forms like hagynak (they leave/let in other contexts). The verb hagyni generally requires a direct object or a subordinate clause to complete its meaning, making hagyják common in sentences about actions affecting others.
