érik

== Hungarian == === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [ˈeːrik] Hyphenation: érik Rhymes: -eːrik === Etymology 1 === Base form: érik, from ér (“to arrive”) +‎ -ik ==== Verb ==== érik (intransitive) to ripen, mature, become ripe Active-voice counterpart: érlel ===== Usage notes ===== This verb is a member of one of those (few) quasi-homonymous verb pairs that exist both with and without an -ik ending. All (intransitive) suffixed forms of these pairs are identical (sometimes they can even have derived forms that coincide), with the exception of their dictionary form (the third-person singular indicative present, with or without -ik). However, the meaning of these pairs is usually distinct, sometimes unrelated. Examples include (fel)áldoz–(le)áldozik, bán–bánik, (meg)bíz–(meg)bízik, (meg)ér–(meg)érik, esz (rare)–eszik, hajol–hajlik, hasonul–(meg)hasonlik, (felül)múl–(el)múlik, (hozzá)nyúl–nyúlik, (el)vesz–(el)veszik~(el)vész, and tör–törik (along with their verbal prefixes), hall–hallik (archaic), érez–érzik (archaic), sometimes with some difference: (el)hibáz–hibádzik, (le)torkol–torkollik. Therefore one may well need to check the context and the arguments to ascertain which member of the verb pair is relevant. This verb is called a pseudo-ik verb, as its -ik ending presents itself only in the 3rd-person singular (indicative present) form, but it is not an -ik verb in any other aspect. As a result, it cannot take the -om/-em/-öm ending in the 1st-person singular (indicative present) form, even in the most erudite style, only -ok/-ek/-ök. Naturally, the optional -m ending cannot appear, either, in their subjunctive or conditional 1st-person singular forms, so only -jak/-jek and -nék is possible in these respective forms. These verbs include the following: bomlik, (el)bújik, (meg)érik, (le)folyik, (össze)gyűlik, hazudik, (le)hull(ik), (bele)/(oda)illik, (meg)jelenik, (el)kopik, (el)múlik, ömlik, (meg)születik, (meg)szűnik, (meg)telik, tojik, (el)törik, (el)/(fel)tűnik, (el)válik, and (el)züllik. (Ki)nyílik partially belongs here, as it cannot take the first-person -om ending but it can take the third-person -jék. ===== Conjugation ===== ===== Derived terms ===== (With verbal prefixes): === Etymology 2 === ér +‎ -ik (personal suffix) ==== Verb ==== érik third-person plural indicative present definite of ér Mindig felháborodik, amikor hazugságon érik. ― He is always outraged when he is caught telling a lie. (literally, “…when they catch him…”) ===== Usage notes ===== This form normally occurs when a verbal prefix is separated from the verb: érik (…) el, el … érik ― elérik ― elér érik (…) fel, fel … érik ― felérik ― felér érik (…) meg, meg … érik ― megérik ― megér érik (…) utol, utol … érik ― utolérik ― utolér and some more, see its derivatives with verbal prefixes. === References === === Further reading === érik in Géza Bárczi, László Országh, et al., editors, A magyar nyelv értelmező szótára [The Explanatory Dictionary of the Hungarian Language] (ÉrtSz.), Budapest: Akadémiai Kiadó, 1959–1962.
