[edit]Of unknown origin.[1]
Pronunciation
[edit]Verb
[edit]tör
- (transitive) to break
- Middle-voice counterpart: törik
- (intransitive) to strive for something (-ra/-re)
- 1832 (original), 1942 (translation), Goethe, Faust, translation by Zoltán Jékely:
- Kicsoda vagy tehát? / Az erő része, mely / örökké rosszra tör, s örökké jót mível.
- Who art thou, then? / Part of that Power, not understood, / Which always wills the Bad, and always works the Good.
- 1832 (original), 1942 (translation), Goethe, Faust, translation by Zoltán Jékely:
Usage notes
[edit]- 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, (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.
