igazítunk

Igazítunk is the first-person plural present tense form of the Hungarian verb igazítani, meaning to adjust, align, or calibrate, and by extension to make something correct according to a standard. The root igaz- carries the sense of truth or correctness, and the suffix -ít forms a transitive causative/ applicative verb. As a transitive verb, igazítunk takes a direct object, for example a setting, a component, or a measurement, when we say we adjust it.

Usage and scope: igazítunk is common in technical, industrial, and everyday contexts. In manufacturing or engineering, it refers to fine-tuning parts so they meet required tolerances. In optics and metrology, it means aligning instruments or calibrating readings. In software or consumer electronics, it denotes configuring settings to desired values. The noun igazítás, closely related in meaning, denotes the act or result of adjustment or calibration. An adjective form igazítható is used to describe something that is adjustable or calibratable, though more frequently the noun is used.

Grammar and variations: Hungarian distinguishes definite and indefinite conjugation. The present indicative forms include igazítunk (indefinite object) and igazítjuk (definite object). Other tenses and moods are formed from igazítani, e.g., igazítottuk (we adjusted), igazítanánk (we would adjust). The term is primarily a technical or procedural verb, but it can be used metaphorically to mean making adjustments to plans, policies, or strategies.
