veszik

== Hungarian == === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [ˈvɛsik] Hyphenation: ve‧szik Rhymes: -ɛsik === Etymology 1 === ==== Verb ==== veszik (intransitive) alternative form of vész (as a verb) ===== 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. ===== Conjugation ===== === Etymology 2 === vesz +‎ -ik ==== Verb ==== veszik third-person plural indicative present definite of vesz Veszik, mint a cukrot. ― It sells like hot cakes.
