jellemez

Jellemez is a Hungarian verb meaning to characterize or describe the characteristics or features of something. It is used to attribute distinguishing properties to a subject and to place it within a descriptive category.

The verb is transitive and typically takes a direct object. The infinitive form is jellemezni. In present usage, the verb is conjugated according to standard Hungarian patterns; the form changes with person and number.

Common uses occur in scientific, academic, and literary contexts when researchers, analysts, or writers want to outline distinguishing traits. For example: A kutató a kísérlet eredményeit jellemezte. Ez a grafikon a fejlődés fő jellemzőit jellemzi.

Related terms include jellemző (characteristic) and jellemzés (description or characterization). The distinction is that jellemez emphasizes identifying and describing distinctive traits, rather than providing a general description.
