védekezem

Vedekezem is a Hungarian verb that translates to "I defend myself" or "I protect myself" in English. It is derived from the root word "véd" which means "to protect" or "to guard". The suffix "-kezem" indicates the first-person singular present tense and the reflexive nature of the action, meaning the subject is acting upon themselves.

The verb védekezem can be used in a variety of contexts, both literal and figurative. In a physical sense, it refers to actions taken to prevent harm or injury, such as dodging an attack or shielding oneself from an object. For example, "Amikor megtámadtak, védekeztem" translates to "When they attacked me, I defended myself."

Figuratively, védekezem can describe actions taken to protect oneself from criticism, accusations, or emotional harm. It implies a defensive stance against perceived threats. For instance, "Minden kritika ellen védekeztem" means "I defended myself against all criticism." The act of defending oneself can also extend to protecting one's interests, reputation, or beliefs. The term emphasizes agency and the individual's capacity to resist or counter adverse situations.
