tervezni

Tervezni is a Hungarian verb meaning to plan or to design. The term can refer to the act of making a plan for a future action, arranging steps in time, or the creation of a design for a product, building, or system. In everyday use it covers both planning activities and design work, with the precise sense determined by context: planning a schedule versus designing a building or software.

Etymology and related forms: It is built from the noun terv, meaning plan or design, with the suffix -ezni to indicate the action. Related words include terv (plan), tervező (designer), tervezés (planning or design as a process), and tervezési as an adjective meaning planning- or design-related. The verb forms regularly in Hungarian: tervezek, tervezel, tervez, tervezünk, terveztek, terveznek in the present tense; the imperative forms include tervezz (singular) and tervezzetek (plural). The past tenses are formed with standard endings, e.g., terveztem for “I planned.”

Usage: Common expressions include “tervet készíteni” (to draw up a plan), “új terméket tervezni” or “tervezni egy prototípust” (to design a new product or prototype), and “városrendezést tervezni” (to plan urban development). In professional contexts, tervezés is a distinct field, with designers and planners identified as “tervező” or “tervezési szakértő.”

Examples: “Cégek új terméket terveznek.” “Meg kell terveznünk a projekt ütemtervét.”
