szántják

"Szántják" is a Hungarian verb, the third-person plural present tense of the verb "szántani." The root verb "szántani" translates to "to plow" in English. Therefore, "szántják" means "they plow" or "they are plowing." This term is commonly used in agricultural contexts to describe the action of preparing land for cultivation. The process of plowing involves turning over the soil with a plow, a farming tool that is often pulled by a tractor or, historically, by draft animals. This action helps to aerate the soil, incorporate organic matter, and control weeds. The use of "szántják" implies a collective action or an ongoing process undertaken by multiple individuals or entities. It is a fundamental term in discussions about farming practices, land management, and agricultural cycles in Hungary and in regions where the Hungarian language is spoken. The word itself is derived from the Proto-Uralic root "*čanta-", meaning "to plow."
