mûködnek

The Hungarian word "működnek" is the third-person plural present tense conjugation of the verb "működik," which translates to "work," "function," or "operate" in English. It is used to describe the state of multiple entities performing their intended tasks or being operational.

For example, if one were discussing a group of machines, "A gépek működnek" would mean "The machines are working" or "The machines are operating." Similarly, when referring to people or systems, "A rendszerek működnek" could translate to "The systems are functioning." The context in which "működnek" is used dictates the precise nuance of its meaning. It implies an active state of operation rather than a passive one. This verb is fundamental in describing the status of anything that has a purpose or mechanism to perform an action.
