kijavítja

kijavítja is a Hungarian word that functions as the third person singular present tense of the verb kijavítani, meaning "to correct," "to fix," or "to rectify." In everyday usage, it can refer to someone who makes an error or who sets things right, depending on context. The verb itself is formed from the prefix ki- (out, off) attached to javítani, which means "to fix" or "to correct." This prefix imparts a sense of bringing something into a proper state.

The word appears frequently in both written and spoken Hungarian. It can be found in technical instructions, such as “a rendszer kijavítja a hibát” (the system corrects the error), or in colloquial contexts like “János kijavítja a ház hívószerét” (John fixes the house’s heating system). Because it is a conjugated form, its use depends on the subject of the sentence; for example “az autó kijavítja a kopogást” (the car repairs the rattling).

kijavítja may also serve as a noun in some informal speech, implying "the fixer" or "the person who corrects." However, in standard Hungarian, nouns for a person who corrects are usually formed with a suffix, such as kijavító. The form kijavítja is strictly verbal. Its grammatical behavior is typical of Hungarian verbs: it links with a subject pronoun and can take objects or complement phrases. The word is widely taught in Hungarian language courses and appears in numerous dictionaries.
