továbbít

Továbbít is a Hungarian verb meaning to forward or relay something to another person, recipient, or location. It is used for passing on information, messages, data, or signals from one point to another. The term appears in everyday language, for example when forwarding an e-mail, as well as in technical contexts such as telecommunications and computer networks, where data packets or broadcast signals are transmitted onward. The emphasis is on relaying content to a further recipient rather than creating new content.

Etymology and related forms: The verb comes from the noun tövább meaning forward or further, with the suffix -ít forming a causative or transitive verb. The related noun is továbbítás, referring to the act of forwarding; the adjective or participles include továbbított (forwarded) and törvényes formák used in various grammatical contexts.

Usage and forms: Infinitive továbbítani. Present tense: továbbít (ő). Past tense: továbbította. Past participle: továbbított. The direct object is typically a message, data, or signal, and the indirect recipient is indicated as the one to whom it is forwarded, for example "továbbítja valakinek." In technical language, common collocations include "adatokat továbbít," "üzeneteket továbbít," and "jelet továbbít."

Context and nuance: While similar to küld (to send), továbbít specifically connotes sending content onward to additional recipients rather than creating or initiating a new message. In everyday use: "Kérlek, ezt az e-mailt továbbítsd a kollégáknak." In networking: "A router továbbítja a csomagokat a következő hálózati pont felé." The term also appears in organizational or administrative settings when information must be disseminated within or between entities.
