származnak

Származnak is a Hungarian verb form meaning “they originate” or “they come from.” It is the third-person plural present indicative form of the verb származni, which means to originate or to come from. The form is used to state the origin of people, objects, ideas, or phenomena.

Grammatical notes: The infinitive is származni. Present tense forms include származok, származol, származik, származunk, származtok, származnak. Származnak is commonly followed by a source expressed with a case ending that marks origin, most often -ból/-ból or -ról/-ről to indicate “from.” For example, Olaszországból származnak means “they come from Italy.” The verb also appears in other tenses and moods, and with other subjects.

Usage and examples: Származnak is used to describe geographic origin, ancestral descent, or derivation of ideas, products, or traditions. Example sentences include: A rómaiak Olaszországból származnak. Az adatok a felmérésből származnak. A recept a mediterrán térségből származik.

Etymology and related terms: The word származik is a native Hungarian verb; származnak is its 3rd person plural present form. The root származ- is connected to származás (origin, derivation) and származék (derivative, offspring). The exact historical development is part of deeper Hungarian etymology, but today the form is routinely used in modern Hungarian to express origin.
