örökítenek

Örökítenek is the present tense, third-person plural form of the Hungarian verb örökíteni. It means to pass on, hand down, or bequeath something to others, typically across generations, such as traditions, knowledge, or property.

Etymology and usage notes: Örökíteni derives from örök- meaning heritage or succession, and is related to the verb örököl (to inherit) and the noun öröklés (inheritance). It is a transitive verb used with a direct object and an indication of recipients, often expressed with a dative or prepositional phrase. The form örökítenek is used with plural subjects (they bequeath or pass on).

Contexts and scope: The verb is common in discussions of family, culture, education, and legal language when describing the act of transmitting assets, traditions, values, or knowledge to others. It can refer to both tangible things (property, possessions) and intangible things (traditions, language, skills).

Example: They bequeath traditions to the younger generation. In Hungarian: Önök örökítenek hagyományokat a fiatalabb generáció számára. This usage emphasizes intentional transmission from one group to another and is frequently paired with phrases indicating the recipient or beneficiary.
