élhelyezi

Elhelyezi is a Hungarian verb form meaning “he/she/it places” or “locates” something in a specific position. It is the third-person singular present tense of the infinitive elhelyezni, which denotes the act of placing, positioning, or situating an object or element.

Etymology and form: The verb is built from the prefix el-, the noun hely (place), and the infinitive suffix -ezni, with the personal ending -i in the present tense. The prefix el- often implies completion or attainment of a position. The base verb elhelyezni is transitive and takes a direct object and a locational phrase.

Usage and meaning: Elhelyezi is used in contexts ranging from physical arrangement to organizing elements in space or on a surface, as well as in data, maps, or plans. It can describe placing a single item or arranging multiple elements according to a design, instruction, or plan. The form is common in formal, technical, and descriptive writing.

Grammar notes: Elhelyezi requires a direct object (the thing being placed) and a locative complement indicating where the item is placed (such as az asztalon, a térképen). The future is formed with fog + infinitive (elhelyezni fogja), and past tense with a past suffix (elhelyezte).

Examples:

- A mérnök elhelyezi a mérőpontot a térképen.

- A bútorokat a szobában elhelyezték.

- A tervező a gombokat a felületen elhelyezi.
