értik

értik is the present indicative, third-person plural form of the Hungarian verb érteni, meaning "to understand." It is used when the subject is a plural noun or pronoun, such as ők (they). For example: "A diákok értik a feladatot." The phrase expresses that a group understands something in the present moment.

Conjugation: Infinitive érteni; present tense forms are: én értem, te érted, ő érti, mi értjük, ti értitek, ők értik. Past tense forms include: én értettem, te értettél, ő értette, mi értettük, ti értettétek, ők értették. The past tense can express simple past or past narrative, depending on context.

Usage: The verb is common in everyday speech and writing. It is used with direct objects to indicate comprehension, e.g., "Érti a kérdést" (he/she understands the question) or "Megértik a feladatot" (they understand the task). It contrasts with the singular form "érti" (he/she understands) and "érted" (you understand). The negation is formed with "nem értik" (they do not understand).

Notes: érteni and its forms are standard Hungarian verbs; present tense "értik" is regular for third-person plural in standard usage; other tenses use corresponding endings.
