vizsgáltatik

Vizsgáltatik is a verb form in Hungarian, used primarily in archaic, formal, or literary styles. It functions as the present passive third-person singular of the verb vizsgál, meaning to examine or inspect. The form signals that the subject is undergoing examination or is being subjected to an examination. In contemporary everyday Hungarian, vizsgáltatik is rarely used; modern equivalents are usually vizsgálják or megvizsgálják, which are the present active/passive constructions more common today.

Grammatical notes emphasize that vizsgáltatik belongs to older or ceremonial registers, where the suffix -atik expresses passive voice in the present tense. The related forms include vizsgáltat (causative “to have something examined” or “to cause to be examined”) and vizsgáltatnak (they cause to be examined). Because of its antiquated tone, vizsgáltatik often appears in historical legal, ecclesiastical, or literary texts rather than in current standard usage.

Etymology traces the base to vizsgál- (to examine) with the addition of passive/medio voice markings characteristic of older Hungarian grammar. This gives the verb a distinctly formal or venerable timbre, sometimes conveying a sense of procedural or ritual examination.

Usage context and translation: vizsgáltatik can be translated as “is examined,” “is being examined,” or “shall be examined” depending on context and accompanying temporal markers. When encountering vizsgáltatik in older Hungarian sources, readers should interpret it as a passive statement about examination, not as a modern conversational form.
