javítják

Javítják is a Hungarian verb form: the third-person plural, definite present tense (used also for near future) of the verb javít, meaning “to repair, to correct, to improve.” As a definite conjugation, javítják is used when the object is definite or is a clear, specific entity (for example, “az autót” — the car). In English it is usually translated “they repair it,” “they fix it,” or “they correct it.”

Grammatical notes: the form combines the stem javít- with the definite third-person plural ending, and it functions for present-time statements as well as planned or imminent actions. Negation is formed with nem (nem javítják — “they do not repair it”), and questions are formed by intonation or with question words (Javítják ezt? — “Do they repair this?”).

Examples:

- A szerelők javítják az autót. — The mechanics are fixing the car.

- Javítják a hibákat. — They are correcting the errors.

Pronunciation is approximately “yah-VEET-yaak” (IPA: /jɒviːtjaːk/). Etymologically, javít is derived from a verbalizing formation based on a stem related to jó/ jobb (good/better) with the suffix -ít that creates causative or transitive verbs; the exact historical development is within Hungarian verb morphology.
