Examples of present tense forms include én ábrázolok, te ábrázolsz, ő ábrázol, mi ábrázolunk, ti ábrázoltok, ők ábrázolnak. This pattern makes ábrázolni a relatively standard -ol/-öl verb group, though as with many Hungarian verbs, usage can vary with emphasis and context.

In usage, ábrázolni and its forms appear in art criticism, literary analysis, journalism, and everyday language when describing how something is shown or represented. For instance, a painter may ábrázolni a tájat, a writer may ábrázolni egy jelenetet, or a researcher may ábrázolni eredményeket in a schematic summary. The related nouns ábrázolás (depiction, portrayal) and ábrázoló (depictor, illustrator) derive from the same root, highlighting the word’s core concept of representation.

Etymology traces the verb to the root elements related to image or depiction, with the noun ábrázat and the noun ábrázolás forming common derivatives. The term is standard in Hungarian and widely understood in artistic and analytical discourse.
