megváltozzák

Megváltozzák is a Hungarian finite verb form that arises when the prefix meg- is attached to a verb meaning change, and the result is inflected for the third person plural in the present tense. The exact sense depends on the underlying verb, most commonly a stem related to change or modification (for example változ- or változtat-). The prefix meg- adds a nuance of completion or a definite change of state, while the suffix marks the subject as they.

Etymology and morphology: The base idea comes from the verb változik or változtat, both relating to change. With meg-, the form signals that something is being changed or has become changed by a plural subject. The spelling and pronunciation may vary with phonological rules, such as assimilation, and the precise ending follows standard Hungarian conjugation for third person plural present forms.

Usage: In contemporary Hungarian, megváltozzák is used when describing that a group of people or entities changes something or undergoes a change, in contexts such as policy, plans, or conditions. Depending on the nuance desired, writers may instead use related forms like megváltoztatják (to change something) or megváltozik (to undergo change, in singular or impersonal contexts). The choice of form depends on the intended verb stem and the exact sense of “change.”
