végrehajtania

Végrehajtania is a non-finite verb form in Hungarian derived from the verb végrehajtani, meaning to carry out, execute, or enforce. It functions within sentences as a non-finite clause, typically indicating the action that a subject is required or expected to perform. The form is used in constructions with auxiliary expressions such as kell (must), szükséges (necessary), vagy kötelezett (obligated), among others.

In practice, végrehajtania is most commonly seen in sentences that express obligation or duty. For example: Ezt meg kell végrehajtania. or Ezt a feladatot végrehajtania kell. These constructions translate roughly as “He/She has to carry this out” or “He/She must execute this task.” The form can occur with various objects, and its precise meaning is shaped by the governing auxiliary or modal expression.

Végrehajtani and its derivatives also appear in legal, administrative, and formal contexts, where the act of implementing or enforcing decisions is discussed. The related noun véghajtás or végrehajtás refers to the act itself—execution, enforcement, or implementation—rather than the specific grammatical form. The term végrehajtó denotes an agent who performs the action, such as an executor or enforcement officer.

Etymology and related terms: vége- (end, completion) plus hajt- (drive, push) yields a sense of bringing an action to completion. Related terms include végerbek, végrehajtás, and végrehajtó, which appear in legal and organizational language to describe processes of execution and enforcement.

See also: végrehajtás, végrehajtó, végrehajtó hatalom, végeredmény (as a contrast in meaning).
