javítanak

Javítanak is a Hungarian verb form meaning "they repair" or "they fix." It is the present indicative, third-person plural form of the verb javít, which means to repair, fix, or improve. The form is used with a plural subject, and it can describe ongoing, habitual, or general actions. For example, "Ők javítanak" translates to "They are repairing" or "They repair," and "A mérnökök javítanak szoftvert" means "The engineers repair software."

The present tense forms include javítok (I repair), javítasz (you repair), javít (he/she/it repairs), javítunk (we repair), javítotok (you all repair), and javítanak (they repair). The verb typically requires a direct object to specify what is being repaired, such as "hibát," "szoftvert," or "gépet." The same form can express either a present, ongoing action or a habitual action, depending on context and temporal adverbs.
