Igyekeztet is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to strive for," "to endeavor," or "to make an effort." It describes the act of actively pursuing a goal or trying to achieve something, often implying a degree of difficulty or challenge. The verb conveys a sense of earnestness and persistent action in the face of obstacles.

The root of the word, "igyekez," means to try or attempt. The "-tet" suffix is a causative one, meaning "to cause to" or "to make." Therefore, "igyekeztet" literally means "to cause oneself to try" or "to make oneself endeavor." This grammatical structure emphasizes the intentional and self-directed nature of the effort.

In common usage, "igyekeztet" can be applied to a wide range of situations, from personal goals like learning a new skill to broader objectives such as improving a community. It suggests a conscious decision to invest time and energy into achieving a desired outcome. The verb often appears in contexts where encouragement or motivation is being expressed, urging someone to put in their best effort. For example, one might say "Sokat igyekeztem a vizsgára" which translates to "I strove/endeavored a lot for the exam," indicating significant effort was put into preparation.
