tárolódnak

Tárolódnak is a verbform in Hungarian, meaning that something is being kept or stored. It is the third-person plural present tense in the passive (or reflexive) voice of the verb tárolódik, which conveys that the subject experiences storage or retention rather than performing the action. In practical terms, tárolódnak describes objects, data, or materials that are currently stored, kept in a place, or placed in a repository, often without specifying who performs the storage.

Grammatical notes:

- tárolódnak corresponds to they are stored or they are being stored.

- It is used with inanimate or abstract subjects such as documents, files, goods, records, or data.

- The agent (who stores them) is typically omitted or can be expressed with by-phrase constructions if needed, though Hungarian generally allows the passive construction without an explicit agent.

Common contexts:

- Archiving and records management: dokumentumok tárolódnak az archívumban.

- Data management and computing: adatok tárolódnak a felhőben vagy a szerveren.

- Logistics and inventory: áruk tárolódnak a raktárban.

Contrast with tárolják (active): tárolják means “they store [something],” i.e., the subject performs the storing action on an object. Tárolódnak, by contrast, emphasizes the state of being stored rather than the act of storing.

Examples:

- A dokumentumok a központi könyvtárban tárolódnak.

- A mentett adatok biztonsági másolatban tárolódnak.

See also:

- tárolás (storage)

- tároló (storage container or keeper)

Tárolódnak thus provides a concise way to express that items are kept in storage or kept in a repository, without naming the doer of the action.
