kontrollálnak

Kontrollálnak is a Hungarian verb form meaning “they check” or “they monitor.” It is the present indicative, third-person plural form of kontrollálni, the infinitive form meaning “to control, to check, to monitor.” The form kontrollálnak is used with a plural subject (ők) performing checks, inspections, or supervision.

Usage and nuance: Kontrollálni is used in a variety of contexts, especially where verification, compliance, or monitoring is involved. This includes law enforcement and border control, quality control in manufacturing, safety inspections, auditing processes, and compliance monitoring in organizations. The term often conveys a sense of systematic or ongoing oversight, rather than a one-off action. In many contexts, synonyms such as ellenőriz (to check), vizsgál (to examine), or felügyel (to supervise) may be used, but kontrollál emphasizes formal procedures and continuous monitoring.

Etymology and related forms: Kontrollálni is a loanword formation based on the noun kontroll, itself borrowed from German Kontrolle. The verb follows standard Hungarian conjugation patterns for -álni verbs. Related nouns include kontroll (control, check) and ellenőrzés (inspection, verification).
