(“to perish, to be destroyed, to get lost”) may also appear as vesz in some phrases. 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 ===== Note that the sound -sz is only part of the present-tense indicative forms of this verb, otherwise its stem is ve-. For past-tense and conditional/subjunctive forms starting with vesz-, see the conjugation of the unrelated verbs vész/veszik and (for the subjunctive) veszt. ===== Derived terms ===== (With verbal prefixes): ==== See also ==== === Etymology 2 === See at the verb vész (“to perish”). ==== Verb ==== vesz (intransitive) alternative form of vész and veszik ===== Conjugation ===== === Further reading === (to get, take, buy etc.): vesz 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.
