kifordítják

Kifordítják is a Hungarian verb form. It is the third-person plural present tense of kifordítani, a verb meaning to turn something inside out, to invert, or to reverse its orientation. The prefix ki- signals outward movement, so the sense often involves exposing the inner side or reversing the order of elements. In everyday language it most commonly describes a physical action, such as turning clothing, containers, or fabrics inside out.

Grammatical details: kifordítják is a transitive verb form, used with a direct object. The infinitive is kifordítani. In full present tense conjugation, it appears as kifordítom, kifordítod, kifordítja, kifordítjuk, kifordítjátok, kifordítják. The form shown here matches the third-person plural subject.

Usage and nuance: The primary sense is literal turning of an item inside out, for example when washing or inspecting the inside of a garment. Example: A pólót kifordítják, hogy lássák a címkét. In metaphorical or specialized contexts the verb can be extended to mean reversing or exposing something’s inner side, though for “distorting” or “twisting” a quotation or story, Hungarian more commonly uses kiforgatják.
