nélkülözik

Nélkülözik is a Hungarian verb that denotes the state of being without or deprived of something. It is closely related to the noun nélküözés (deprivation) and the verb nélküözni (to lack, to deprive). The form nélküözik appears in present tense constructions and is used to describe a situation in which a subject lacks goods, rights, or essential conditions.

Usage and meaning

Nélkülözik describes a passive or state-oriented lack rather than an action performed by the subject. It is often employed in more formal or literary contexts, especially when discussing poverty, scarcity, or denial of essential resources. In everyday language, speakers may prefer simpler verbs such as hiányzik (is missing) or, in transitive constructions, négyszer nélküözni a megélhetést (to deprive someone of livelihood) or refer to nélkülezés as a noun.

Related forms

- Nélkülözés: deprivation or deprivation of resources.

- Nélkülöző: a deprived person or one who lacks essentials; an adjective describing deprivation.

These related terms are frequently found in discussions of social conditions, policy, and journalism.

Notes

Nélkülözik is relatively formal and more common in written discourse, policy commentary, and literary contexts. For everyday speech, speakers may use synonyms like hiányzik or rövid távú környezetben más kifejezéseket, depending on the exact nuance.
