kezdek

Kezdek is the first-person singular present tense form of the Hungarian verb kezdeni, which means to begin or to start. It is a finite verb form used when the speaker is describing that they are beginning an action, often followed by an infinitive: for example, "Kezdek olvasni" means "I am starting to read."

The verb kezdeni belongs to Hungarian verbs formed around the noun kezdet, meaning "beginning." The present-tense form kezdek thus marks the speaker's initiation of the action, and it can be used in various contexts to express starting or undertaking something.

Conjugation note: kezdek is only one form; other persons and tenses use the standard conjugation of kezdeni, or with prefixes such as meg- for "to commence." See Hungarian grammar for the full paradigm.

Etymology: The word kezdeni is historically linked to kezdet, the noun for "beginning." The usage of kezdek reflects its semantic root in starting an event.
