korlátozódik

Korlátozódik is a Hungarian intransitive verb that means to be restricted or to become limited. It describes a state rather than an action performed by an agent, indicating that the scope, access, capacity, or range of something has been narrowed by external factors such as rules, conditions, or resources. The verb is formed from the root korlátoz (to restrict) with the suffix -ódik, which marks a passive or stative meaning.

Usage of korlátozódik is common in formal, legal, administrative, and technical language, but it also appears in everyday speech. The subject is typically a thing like a territory, service, movement, or activity, and the restricting factor is usually expressed with a causal phrase such as due to regulation, weather, or lack of resources. The construction often relies on prepositional phrases rather than a direct object, emphasizing the state of being restricted.

Examples include: A vihar miatt a közlekedés korlátozódik. (Traffic is restricted due to the storm.) A mozgástér a rendelkezésre álló helyre korlátozódik. (The maneuvering space is limited to the available area.) A belépés a korlátozott területre korlátozódik. (Access is restricted to the restricted area.)

Related forms include korlátozott (restricted), korlátozás (restriction), and korlátozó (restrictive). The word stems from korlát, meaning barrier, and the verb korlátoz, with the -ódik suffix marking a passive or state-expressing form. In usage, korlátozódik highlights a process of becoming constrained, rather than an active imposition of limits.
