- Ezelőtt tizenkét évvel Pancsován laktunk, hol férjem városi hivatalnok volt. Bellovárynak hívták. […] Neki volt hivatala, szép háza, gyönyörű gyümölcsöskertje, szántóföldjei; én árva leány voltam, mikor elvett, s kész vagyont hoztam a házhoz, megélhettünk tisztességesen.
- Twelve years ago we lived in Pancsova, where my husband held a municipal office. His name was Bellovary […] he had his post, a pretty house, and a splendid orchard and meadow. I was an orphan when we married, and brought him some money; we were able to live respectably.

- 1938, Jenő Rejtő, A drótnélküli gyilkosság[3] (“The Wireless Murder”), chapter 6:
- […] Ezért egy ünnepélyes fogadóestélyen – a haladószellemű termelés érdekében szerzett érdemeiért – sajátkezűleg tűzte ki Farlane múlt századból konzervált frakkjára a Fehér Szalag-rend középkeresztjét a két karabéllyal. ¶ És így végül minden bűnös elvette méltó jutalmát.
- […] Therefore, at a ceremonial reception, for his merits in the cause of progressive production, he personally pinned the Commander’s Cross of the Order of the White Ribbon with the Two Carbines on Farlane’s tails, preserved from the last century. ¶ And so, at last, all the guilty took their due reward.
- (informal) Synonym of kivon (“to subtract”)
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, ér–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.
