szólaltatja

The Hungarian verb "szólaltatja" is the third-person singular present tense of the verb "szólaltat." This verb is transitive and generally translates to "to make someone or something speak," "to give voice to," or "to sound." It implies an action that causes something that was silent to produce sound or a vocal utterance.

The root of the verb is "szól," meaning "to speak" or "to sound." The "-tat" suffix is a causative suffix, indicating that the subject is causing the action of the root verb to happen. Therefore, "szólaltat" literally means "to cause to speak" or "to cause to sound."

In practice, "szólaltatja" can be used in various contexts. It might describe a person who makes an instrument play, such as "A zenész szólaltatja meg a hegedűt" (The musician plays the violin). It can also refer to someone who causes another person to speak, perhaps by asking a question or prompting them: "Az újságíró szólaltatja meg a politikust" (The journalist makes the politician speak). Furthermore, it can be used more figuratively, for example, to describe something that brings a dormant idea or feeling to life: "Az új információ szólaltatja meg az elfeledett emlékeit" (The new information brings his forgotten memories to life). The object of the verb is typically in the accusative case, marked by the "-ja" possessive suffix in this specific conjugation, indicating "he/she/it makes *him/her/it* speak."
