készüldik

Készüldik is a form discussed in Hungarian grammar rather than a widely used standard word in contemporary language. It is generally described as a present-tense, third-person form belonging to the middle or reflexive voice, built with the suffix -dik. In standard modern Hungarian, the closest and common equivalents for the sense “to get ready” are készül (he/she gets ready) or készülnek (they get ready). Készüldik thus appears mainly in historical texts or in dialectal varieties, where older or regional inflection patterns can surface.

Etymology and morphology

The form is said to derive from a stem related to the verb meaning “to prepare” or “to get ready,” with the middle-voice suffix -dik applied. The result is a verb form that would grammatically indicate the subject is preparing itself or is in the process of preparation. Because this exact spelling and paradigm are not standard in modern Hungarian, the precise stem and historical derivation can vary across dialects and sources.

Usage and status

Készüldik is not part of the standard contemporary Hungarian verb system. When encountered, it is typically interpreted as a dialectal or archaic variant of a reflexive/middle-voice construction related to készülni or készül. In most modern texts and everyday use, speakers would substitute készülnek or a corresponding active form, depending on context.

Examples

In dialectal or historical contexts, one might encounter forms interpreted as “készüldik” meaning “he/she is getting ready.” However, such usage is non-standard in current Hungarian and should be treated as regional or archaic rather than normative.
