térképezik

Térképezik is a Hungarian verb meaning to map or chart a space, phenomenon, or data set. The infinitive is térképezni, and térképezik is the present tense form used for third-person singular, indicating that someone or something maps or is mapping.

Etymology and form: the word is derived from the noun térkép (map) with a productive verb suffix that yields a verb meaning to produce a map. This derivation mirrors other Hungarian verbs built from nouns to express the action of producing or representing the thing named by the noun.

Usage: in geography and geospatial contexts, térképezik describes creating a map from geographic or spatial data, such as terrain, land use, or infrastructure. In research and planning, it can refer to mapping distributions, networks, or processes. The term is also used metaphorically to map out relationships, patterns, or steps in a plan. Related forms include feltérképezni (to map out in detail) and térképezés (the act or process of mapping).

Grammatical notes: térképezik is a transitive verb and typically accompanies a direct object (for example, a területet, az adatokat, vagy a hálózatot). Like other Hungarian verbs, it forms various tenses and aspects; ongoing mapping can be described with the present form, while completed mapping appears in past or perfect forms such as térképezett or feltérképezett. The expression feltérképezés emphasizes a thorough survey or comprehensive mapping effort.
