rendelnek

Rendelnek is the third-person plural present tense form of the Hungarian verb rendelni. The verb has several related senses in Hungarian, depending on the context. In everyday use, rendelni usually means to order or place an order for goods or services. It is common in commercial, logistical, and consumer contexts.

In a medical or professional context, rendel can mean to run a practice or to see patients; doctors may “rendelnek” in a clinic, meaning they see or treat patients as part of their practice. The sense of prescribing medication is also associated with rendel, although in everyday speech the act of prescribing is more often described with felír, while rendel can be understood as ordering a treatment or dosage in some contexts.

Morphology and usage notes: rendelnek is formed by adding the standard third-person plural ending to the stem rendel-. It is used with various direct or indirect objects depending on the sense, for example: “A vállalatok gyakran rendelnek alkatrészeket a beszállítóiktól” (Companies often order parts from their suppliers), or “Az orvosok a rendelőben rendelnek” (Doctors see patients in the clinic). In medical wording, “gyógyszert rendel” means to prescribe a medication to a patient, though this sense may be expressed with different phrasing in many cases.

Etymology: rendel originate from the root rend meaning order or arrangement, with related terms such as rendelet (decree) and rendezés (organization), reflecting the basic notion of putting things in order or assigning a course of action.
