összekapcsolnak

összekapcsolnak is a Hungarian verb form meaning "they connect" or "they interlink." It is the third-person plural present indicative form of the verb összekapcsolni, which means to interconnect or to link together. The form is used when describing multiple entities that are connected or made to work together in a network, system, or conceptual sense.

Etymology and grammar: The word is built from the prefix össze- meaning "together" or "across" and the root kapcsol- from kapcsolni, meaning "to connect," plus the present-tense plural suffix -nak. The infinitive is összekapcsolni, and other conjugations follow standard Hungarian patterns (összekapcsolom, összekapcsolsz, összekapcsolja, összekapcsoljuk, összekapcsoltok, összekapcsolják). In addition, when the object is definite, the third-person plural form changes to összekapcsolják.

Usage and context: The term is common in technology, data integration, and systems engineering, as well as in general discussions of linking components, networks, or concepts. It often appears in sentences describing mutual or collective linking among several elements. For example, with an indefinite object, one might use összekapcsolnak; with a definite object, the form would be összekapcsolják (e.g., összekapcsolják az adatforrásokat: they interconnect the data sources).

Related forms: Beyond the present tense, Hungarian expresses other tenses and aspects with összekapcsolni as the infinitive base, for example összekapcsoltak (past) and various person-specific forms such as összekapcsolom, összekapcsolod, összekapcsolja, etc. The term is also used in phrases describing integration or interoperability across disparate systems.
