körbevenni

Körbevenni is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to take someone on a ride" or "to give someone a lift" in English. It describes the act of providing transportation to another person, typically in a vehicle. This can range from a casual favor, such as driving a friend to a location, to a more formal arrangement. The term can also imply a degree of willingness or generosity on the part of the person offering the ride.

The verb is formed from the noun "kör" meaning "round" or "circle" and the verb "venni" meaning "to take." Literally, it suggests taking someone around. While most commonly associated with cars, it can also apply to other forms of transportation where one person provides a ride to another. The context of the situation usually clarifies the specific meaning. For example, "Autóval körbevette a barátját a városban" would mean "He gave his friend a ride around town by car." It is a common and practical term in everyday Hungarian conversation.
