Összegyjteni

Összegyűjteni is a Hungarian verb meaning to gather together, to collect or compile, bringing items or information into a single set. It is a compound verb formed from the prefix össze- (together, to bring together) and the imperfective gyűjteni (to collect). The prefix emphasizes completing the collection or assembling the elements.

In use, összegyűjteni is transitive and requires a direct object, often referring to data, facts, documents, names, signatures, or resources. The action can be literal, such as collecting physical items, or figurative, such as compiling information or opinions. The related noun is összegyűjtés, the process or result of gathering. The verb is typically used in contexts such as research, administration, and archival work, where a set of items or information is brought together for analysis or reporting.

Common contexts include collecting data for a study, gathering sources for a report, or compiling signatures for a petition. For example: Összegyűjtöttem az adatokat a vizsgálathoz. A kutatók összegyűjtötték a releváns forrásokat. The verb is a perfective form, contrasting with gyűjteni (to collect in an ongoing sense); összegyűjteni emphasizes that the collection is completed or prepared for a specific purpose. The past participle is összegyűjtött, used to form perfect tenses, as in Összegyűjtöttem a válaszokat.
