melegítik

Melegítik is a Hungarian verb form meaning “they heat up” or, in formal address, “you heat up.” It is the third-person plural present indicative of the verb melegíteni, which means to heat up or to warm. The base form melegít- comes from meleg, warm, with the suffix -íteni to form a causative verb meaning to cause to become warm. The present-tense ending -ik marks the third-person plural.

The form is used with plural subjects, or with the formal plural you, to describe the action of heating something. For example: A séfek melegítik fel az ételt. (The chefs are heating up the food.) A készülékek melegítik fel a vizet. (The devices heat the water.) The related noun melegítés denotes the process of heating, while melegítő can refer to a device or agent that provides heat.

Melegítik often appears in both everyday and technical contexts, including cooking, food preparation, and industrial heating processes. When the nuance is to indicate reheating rather than initial heating, a prefixed form such as felmelegítik (they reheat; they warm up again) may be used. In summary, melegítik is a standard present-tense form used to describe heating actions performed by multiple subjects.
