összenyomja

Összenyomja is a Hungarian verb form, specifically the third-person singular present indicative of the verb összenyomni. The base meaning is to press something together or to squeeze it so that parts fit more closely or occupy less space. It can be used in physical contexts, for example when compressing an object, as well as in figurative contexts, such as crowding or cramming a space with people or items. The action requires a direct object in the accusative case.

Etymology and grammar: the verb is formed from the prefix össze-, meaning “together” or “bring together,” and the root nyom, meaning “to press.” The infinitive is összenyomni, with összenyomja coined for the third-person singular present tense. Common related forms include összenyomás (the act or result of compressing), összenyomó (compressive or squeezing, as an adjective or noun), and other conjugations such as összenyomom (I press together) or összenyomtad (you pressed together).

Usage notes: összenyomja is transitive, requiring a direct object. It covers both literal compression, such as “Összenyomja a dobozt, hogy beférjen a rekeszbe” (“He squeezes the box to fit it into the compartment”), and metaphorical compression, such as crowding a space or constraining possibilities.

See also: nyomni (to press), összepréselni (to compress further), összenyomás (crushing, compression). The term is common in everyday Hungarian when describing physical squeezing or figurative crowding and constraint.
