javítom

Javítom is the first-person singular present indicative (definite conjugation) form of the Hungarian verb javítani / javít, commonly translated as "I fix it" or "I correct it." It is used when the action has a definite direct object (for example, "the book," "that phone") and corresponds to a transitive sense of repairing, correcting, or improving something.

Pronunciation is typically rendered in IPA as [ˈjɒvitom], with Hungarian stress on the first syllable. Because Hungarian uses present-tense forms for both ongoing and near-future actions, javítom can mean "I am fixing it," "I fix it (habitually)," or "I will fix it," depending on context.

Usage contrasts with the indefinite conjugation javítok, which is used when the object is indefinite or absent (e.g., "I am repairing something" or "I repair" in general). Examples:

- Javítom a számítógépet. — I am fixing the computer / I will fix the computer.

- Javítok egy hibát. — I am fixing a mistake.

Related forms include the noun javítás (repair, correction), the agentive javító (repairer), the past tense javítottam (I fixed), and conditional javítanék (I would fix). The verb is a common and productive term in Hungarian for technical repairs, editorial corrections, and metaphorical improvement.
