nyúljak

Nyúljak is a Hungarian verb meaning "to reach" or "to stretch out." It is derived from the word "nyúl," which translates to "rabbit" or "hare," suggesting the action of a creature extending its body. The verb can be used in various contexts, both literal and figurative.

Literally, nyúljak describes the physical act of extending one's arm or body to grasp something, touch a surface, or reach a destination. For example, one might say "nyúljak a pohárért" (reach for the glass) or "nyúljak az ablakhoz" (stretch to the window). It can also refer to a general elongation or extension, such as the stretching of a road or a limb.

Figuratively, nyúljak can denote an attempt to achieve something, to aspire towards a goal, or to extend one's influence or understanding. Phrases like "nyúljak a tudás után" (aspire to knowledge) or "nyúljak a siker felé" (reach for success) illustrate this usage. The verb implies effort and intention in the pursuit of something beyond one's immediate grasp.

The first-person singular present tense of the verb is "nyújtok" (I reach/stretch). The infinitive form is "nyújtani." The verb conjugates according to standard Hungarian grammatical rules, with different endings for person, number, and tense. Its versatility makes it a common and important verb in the Hungarian language for expressing both physical and abstract actions of reaching.
