végeznek

Végeznek is the third-person plural present indicative form of the Hungarian verb végezni. The verb végezni has several related meanings, most notably “to perform, to carry out, to execute” a task or activity, and less commonly “to finish/complete” something. Végeznek specifically indicates that the subject is plural and that the action occurs in the present.

In contemporary usage, végeznek is most often employed to express that a group is performing tasks, tests, experiments, or duties. Examples: “A kutatók vizsgálatokat végeznek a laboratóriumban.” “A diákok különféle kísérleteket végeznek a tanórákon.” These constructions show the typical collocations with objects such as vizsgálatokat (tests/examinations) or kísérleteket (experiments).

Grammatical notes: végeznek is the present tense, third-person plural form built on the stem végez-. Other persons are formed as follows: én végzek, te végzel, ő végez, mi végezzünk (let’s perform), ti végeztek, ők végeznek. The verb is most commonly transitive, taking a direct object in the accusative (for example, vizsgálatokat, feladatokat).

Etymology and register: végezni is derived from végez-, related to vég meaning “end,” but in modern usage the sense is dominated by performing or carrying out an action. When the intended meaning is simply to finish something, Hungarian speakers more often use befejezni or befejezés. Végeznek, therefore, is a versatile form widely found in formal, technical, and institutional contexts, as well as everyday descriptions of group activities.
