helyettesíts

helyettesíts is a Hungarian verb that translates to "substitute," "replace," or "stand in" in English. It is used in various contexts to describe the act of one thing taking the place of another.

In a grammatical sense, helyettesíts can refer to substituting one word for another, such as using a pronoun to replace a noun. For example, "Én helyettesítem őt" means "I am substituting for him/her."

The verb also applies to situations where a person takes over a duty or role. If a teacher is absent, another teacher might helyettesít them. Similarly, in sports, a substitute player enters the game to replace another.

The concept of replacement extends to objects or materials as well. If a part of a machine breaks, it needs to be helyettesítve, or replaced. This can also occur in less literal situations, like replacing old habits with new ones. The general idea is that something is removed or absent and is then filled by something else. The past participle form is helyettesített, meaning "substituted" or "replaced."
