Észlelik

Észlelik is the third-person plural present tense form of the Hungarian verb észlelni, meaning to perceive, detect, or notice. The verb can refer to humans, animals, or instruments that become aware of something through sensory input or data interpretation. In use, észlelik describes the act of noticing or revealing something that may not be immediately obvious.

Etymology and form: The word derives from ész, meaning sense or awareness, combined with a verb-forming suffix. The base verb észlelni yields forms such as észleli (he/she notices) and észlelik (they notice). The ending -ik marks the third-person plural present tense in this verb class.

Usage and examples: Észlelni is commonly used with a direct object indicating what is perceived. Examples include: A kutatók észlelik a változásokat. A szenzorok észlelik a zajt. In scientific, investigative, or monitoring contexts, észlelik often conveys careful observation or detection of signals rather than casual noticing. It can appear with various subjects, including people, devices, or systems.

Nuances and related terms: Észlelés (perception, detection) is the noun form, referring to the act or capacity of perceiving. Észlelő or észlelője can denote a perceiver. In everyday language, synonyms such as megfigyelik, észrevesznek, vagy észlegetnek may be used with similar meaning, though each carries slightly different emphasis on noticing, observing, or discovering. Észlelhető means detectable, describing something that can be perceived.
