szélesedik

Szélesedik is a Hungarian verb meaning to become wider or broader, or to spread in the sense of increasing in width, scope, or range. It denotes a process or change rather than a deliberate action performed on a specific object. The infinitive form is szélesedni; in the present tense the form szélesedik appears in the third-person singular, and other persons follow the standard conjugation pattern of the -ik verb class. The related noun szélesedés refers to the act or result of widening.

The verb can describe both physical widening and metaphorical expansion. Physical use includes widening of a road, area, or physical boundaries, while metaphorical use covers broadening of interest, influence, or offerings. Common collocations include szélesedik az út, szélesedik a kínálat, szélesedik a kör vagy a hatókör. The expression often conveys gradual change over time, rather than abrupt alteration.

In writing, szélesedik is used to convey growth in breadth or scope, whether referring to physical dimensions or abstract concepts like audience, market, or discourse.
