követekezik

Következik is a Hungarian verb that translates to "follows," "ensues," or "results" in English. It is a common and versatile verb used in various contexts to indicate a sequence of events, a logical conclusion, or a consequence.

The verb is derived from the root "követ," meaning "to follow." The suffix "-kezik" indicates a reflexive or inchoative aspect, suggesting that something begins to follow or that something follows as a result of a previous action or state.

In its most literal sense, "következik" describes physical following, such as one object following another in a procession. For example, "Az autó következik a teherautót" means "The car follows the truck."

More abstractly, it signifies a logical or temporal sequence. "Az eső után következik a napos idő" translates to "The sunny weather follows the rain." It can also indicate a consequence or outcome. "A rossz döntéséből következett a kudarc" means "His failure resulted from his bad decision."

The verb is frequently used in conditional sentences to express what will happen if a certain condition is met. "Ha sokat tanulsz, jól fogsz teljesíteni. Ez következik" translates to "If you study a lot, you will perform well. This follows."

"Következik" can also be used in expressions of obligation or necessity, though this is less common and often implied. For instance, "Mit következik ebből?" means "What follows from this?" or "What is the implication?" It is a fundamental verb for expressing causality, succession, and logical progression in the Hungarian language.
