kopik
See also: köpik
Hungarian
Etymology
Probably an onomatopoeia + -ik. Its stem may be the same as of the verb koppan (“to thud”). [1]
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): [ˈkopik]
- Hyphenation: ko‧pik
- Rhymes: -opik
Verb
kopik
- (intransitive, of an object) to become threadbare, to get thin from wear
- Kopik a gyerekek cipője, újat kell vennem. ― The kids' shoes are wearing out, I need to buy some new ones.
- (intransitive, of the human body) to wear out (to deteriorate over time due to continued use, exposure, or strain)
Usage notes
This verb is called a pseudo-ik verb, as its -ik ending presents itself only in the 3rd-person singular (indicative present) form, but it is not an -ik verb in any other aspect. As a result, it cannot take the -om/-em/-öm ending in the 1st-person singular (indicative present) form, even in the most erudite style, only -ok/-ek/-ök. Naturally, the optional -m ending cannot appear, either, in their subjunctive or conditional 1st-person singular forms, so only -jak/-jek and -nék is possible in these respective forms. These verbs include the following: bomlik, (el)bújik, (meg)érik, (le)folyik, (össze)gyűlik, hazudik, (le)hull(ik), (bele)/(oda)illik, (meg)jelenik, (el)kopik, (el)múlik, ömlik, (meg)születik, (meg)szűnik, (meg)telik, tojik, (el)törik, (el)/(fel)tűnik, (el)válik, and (el)züllik. (Ki)nyílik partially belongs here, as it cannot take the first-person -om ending but it can take the third-person -jék.
