súlyosbodik

Súlyosbodik is a Hungarian verb meaning to become more serious or to worsen, especially in the sense of increasing severity of a condition or situation. It denotes a change of state toward greater gravity and is used in medical, economic, social, and general reporting contexts. The verb is intransitive and typically describes how a condition evolves rather than describing an action performed by a direct object.

Etymology and form: súlyosodik is derived from the adjective súlyos (serious, grave) with the suffix -odik, which conveys a change of state. The base infinitive is súlyosodni. Related forms include súlyosodás (the worsening), súlyosodott (past participle), and súlyosodottan (adverbial form, though less common). The standard present tense form is súlyosodik; past tense is súlyosodott; the future construction is usually súlyosodni fog or a derivative with fog.

Usage: súlyosbodik commonly collocates with nouns such as állapot (condition), betegség (disease), helyzet (situation), and válság (crisis). Examples: “A beteg állapota súlyosbodik.” “A járvány súlyosbodik.” It can be contrasted with rosszabbodik (to become worse in a general sense) or romlik (to deteriorate), where súlyosbodik emphasizes an increase in severity or seriousness.

Notes: In medical or formal writing, súlyosbodik is a precise term for a worsening of severity, whereas generic terms like nő, fokozódik, vagy romlik might be chosen depending on nuance.
