találkoznak

"Találkoznak" is the third person plural present indicative form of the Hungarian verb találkozik, meaning "they meet" or "they are meeting." It is used when the subject is a plural third person (ők or implied) and can describe planned meetings, habitual encounters, or accidental encounters depending on context.

The verb találkozik derives from talál ("to find") with the reciprocal/iterative element -ko- and the -zik ending typical of many Hungarian verbs. Hungarian places stress on the first syllable, and personal pronouns are often omitted because the verb form itself indicates the person and number.

Grammatical usage: találkoznak functions as an intransitive verb and commonly appears with the instrumental postposition -val/-vel: Például, "Ők találkoznak a kávézóban" (They meet at the café) or "Már régóta nem találkoznak" (They have not met for a long time). The infinitive is találkozni; the simple past third person plural is találkoztak; future can be expressed periphrastically (például találkozni fognak).

Related expressions include találkoztat (causative) and találkozás (noun: meeting). Usage notes emphasize context for whether the meeting is planned or incidental, and that Hungarian verb conjugation conveys subject information, allowing subject pronouns to be dropped in typical sentences.
