kifizetnek

Kifizetnek is a Hungarian verb form used to express that a plural subject pays money or settles a payment. It is the third-person plural present indicative form of the verb kifizetni, a transitive verb meaning to pay out, to settle a debt, or to disburse funds. The prefix ki- in Hungarian often conveys an outward or completed aspect, and together with fizet (to pay) forms kifizetni (to pay out).

In standard usage, kifizetnek signals an ongoing present action by multiple subjects. For a definite direct object, Hungarian would typically use the definite present form kifizetik (they pay it). The distinction between indefinite and definite forms is a characteristic feature of Hungarian conjugation. The infinitive form is kifizetni. Other related present forms include kifizetek (I pay) and kifizetsz (you pay), with kifizetünk (we pay) and kifizetnek (they pay) as the plural indefinite.

Common contexts for kifizetni and its forms include paying invoices, salaries, or settlements. For example, speakers contrast kifizetnek with kifizetik when the object is indefinite versus definite. The past tense forms such as kifizettek are used to indicate that the payment has already been made. The noun form related to this verb is kifizetés (the act or process of paying, i.e., payment).
