helyrehozni

Helyrehozni is a Hungarian verb meaning to restore something to its proper state, to repair a fault, or to remedy a situation. It is used for both tangible repairs (objects, structures) and more abstract restorations (order, credibility, functioning). In many contexts it is close in sense to helyreállítani, but helyrehozni often emphasizes returning to a functional or intended condition.

Etymology and form: The verb is formed with the prefix helyre- derived from hely (place) and the verb hozni (to bring). It is transitive and normally takes a direct object in the accusative, for example helyrehozni a hibát, helyrehozni a rendet, helyrehozni az állapotot. It is conjugated as a regular verb: jelen időben én helyrehozom, te helyrehozod, ő helyrehozza; mi helyrehozzuk, ti helyrehozzátok, ők helyrehozzák. The past tense is helyrehozott, and the past participle is helyrehozott. The noun form is helyrehozás (restoration, repair).

Usage: Helyrehozni generally refers to bringing something back to its proper or usable condition. It applies to technical repairs, fixes of errors, or restoring order after a disruption. In formal or legal contexts the term can be used to indicate restitution, though more common terms for legal restitution include helyreállítás or kártérítés, depending on nuance.

Related terms: helyreállítani (to restore, often restoring to an original state), javítani/megjavítani (to repair), rendezni (to arrange or settle). The noun form helyrehozás is used for the act or process of restoration or repair.
