szavaznak

Szavaznak is the third-person plural present indicative form of the Hungarian verb szavazni, meaning to vote. It describes a group of people performing the act of voting, for example voters in an election or members of a deliberative body deciding on a proposal.

In Hungarian, verbs are conjugated for person and number, so the present tense forms include szavazok, szavazol, szavaz, szavazunk, szavaztok, szavaznak. The present tense is used for both habitual statements and current events, since Hungarian does not have a distinct progressive aspect.

Usage notes: the verb can be used with prepositional phrases to indicate what is being voted on (for example a törvényről or a javaslatról) or with time expressions to indicate when the voting takes place (e.g., ma, ezen a napon). The form szavaznak can refer to any plural subject performing a vote, from voters in an election to members of a committee.

Examples:

A választók ma a választáson szavaznak. (The voters are voting in the election today.)

A képviselők a törvényjavaslatról szavaznak. (The representatives vote on the bill.)

Ők szavaznak. (They vote.)
