utaztatni

Utaztatni is a Hungarian verb meaning to arrange for someone to travel or to transport passengers on someone’s behalf. It is the causative form of utazni (to travel), formed with the suffix -tatni, and it emphasizes that the subject causes, organizes, or facilitates the travel of another person or group rather than traveling themselves.

Usage and nuance: utaztatni is typically used in contexts of travel management, transportation services, or administrative arrangements. It is transitive and commonly takes a direct object referring to the people to be moved, often with additional details about destination or method (bus, train, plane). The act can be described as utaztatás (the act of arranging or providing travel) or with the ongoing form utaztatják (they arrange travel for).

Examples:

- A cég utaztatja az alkalmazottakat külföldi konferenciákra. (The company arranges travel for its employees to foreign conferences.)

- A közlekedési vállalat utaztatja az utasokat a járatokon. (The transportation company transports/passengers on its flights/trips.)

Etymology and related terms: utaztatni is derived from utazás (travel) with the causative suffix -tatni. Related terms include utazás (travel), utazó (traveler), and utaztatás (the act of arranging or providing travel). In contrast, szállítani and fuvarozni primarily refer to transporting goods rather than people.

Usage notes: utaztatni often implies an organization or management role—an employer, travel agency, or transportation provider acting on behalf of others. The precise nuance depends on context, but the core idea is making travel possible for someone else rather than the speaker traveling.
