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. ===== Conjugation ===== ===== Coordinate terms ===== (arithmetic operations) művelet; összeadás ([össze-/hozzá-] ad); kivonás (kivon, elvesz); szorzás ([össze-/meg-] szoroz); osztás ([el-] oszt); hatványozás (hatványra emel); gyökvonás (gyököt von); logaritmálás (logaritmust számít/vesz/képez) (Category: hu:Arithmetic) === Etymology 2 === el- +‎ vesz (“to perish”) ==== Verb ==== elvesz (intransitive) alternative form of elvész (“to get lost, go missing”) and elveszik ===== Conjugation ===== === Further reading === (to take away): elvesz 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.
