Intranszitívek, often referred to as intransitive verbs in English linguistics, are a class of verbs that do not require a direct object to complete their meaning. Unlike transitive verbs, which transfer their action to a receiver, intransitive verbs express an action or state of being that is complete in itself. For example, in the sentence "The dog barked," the verb "barked" is intransitive because the action of barking is performed by the dog and does not affect an external entity.

Many verbs can function as both transitive and intransitive, depending on the context. For instance, "to run" can be intransitive as in "She runs every morning," or transitive if it is followed by a direct object, such as "She runs the marathon." The distinction between transitive and intransitive verbs is crucial for understanding sentence structure and grammatical relationships within a language. Linguists analyze these verb types to map the syntactic and semantic patterns of a language, contributing to a deeper understanding of how meaning is constructed. The presence or absence of a direct object is the primary characteristic that defines an intransitive verb.
