széttörik

"Széttörik" is a Hungarian verb. It is the third-person plural past tense, definite conjugation of the verb "széttörik". The infinitive form "széttörik" itself means "to break into pieces" or "to shatter". Therefore, "széttörik" in this specific past tense form translates to "they broke into pieces" or "they shattered".

The verb is composed of two parts: "szét-" which is a prefix indicating separation or dispersal, and "törik" which means "to break". The combination signifies a breaking apart, often into multiple fragments. The "-ik" ending indicates a specific conjugation pattern in Hungarian verbs, and the "törik" form is the third-person singular present tense, indefinite conjugation of the root verb "törni" (to break). However, when used as "széttörik" on its own, it typically functions as the third-person singular present indefinite form meaning "it breaks into pieces". When followed by a definite object, the conjugation changes. The form "széttörték" would be "they broke it into pieces".

The context in which "széttörik" is used determines the precise meaning. It can refer to physical objects breaking apart, such as glass shattering or wood splintering. It can also be used figuratively to describe the disintegration of something abstract, like a plan falling apart or a dream being shattered. The past tense, third-person plural form, "széttörik", specifically describes the action of breaking into pieces performed by multiple subjects in the past.
