összekeverednek

Összekeverednek is a Hungarian verb form meaning “they get mixed up” or “they are mixed up.” It is the present tense, third-person plural form of the intransitive verb összekeveredni, used to describe a state in which things, names, ideas, or identities become confusing or indistinguishable from one another. The word combines the prefix össze- (together, into a whole) with keveredni (to be mixed or stirred), conveying a process in which elements lose their distinctness.

The form is commonly applied to non-human subjects such as objects, concepts, or information, as well as to people when referring to confusion that emerges in perception or categorization. It conveys a sense of muddle or disorder rather than deliberate action. In everyday language it can describe situations where distinctions blur, classifications fail, or signals overlap.

Examples:

- A két név összekeveredett a fejekben. (The two names got mixed up in people’s minds.)

- A receptek összekeverednek a konyhában, ha nem követjük a sorrendet. (The recipes get mixed up in the kitchen if we don’t follow the order.)

- Ha a jegyzetek nincsenek rendben, az adatok összekeveredhetnek. (If the notes aren’t organized, the data can get mixed up.)

See also: összekeveredni, keveredés, összekeverés, zavar. These related terms cover the act of mixing up, confusion, and the broader concept of mingling or blurring distinctions.
