hajol

== Hungarian == === Etymology === First attested in 1372. From the same Proto-Ugric root as hajt (“to bend”) +‎ -ol (frequentative suffix). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [ˈhɒjol] Hyphenation: ha‧jol Rhymes: -ol === Verb === hajol (intransitive) to bend, lean (usually of a person, out of his or her own will) ==== Usage notes ==== As opposed to the reflexive (or rather, middle-voice) meaning of hajlik (“to bend into a curved shape”), hajol is active: “to assume a bent position/posture.” 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. ==== Conjugation ==== ==== Derived terms ==== (With verbal prefixes): ==== Related terms ==== === References === === Further reading === hajol 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.
