Akadályoz

Akadályoz is a Hungarian verb meaning to hinder, impede, or prevent. It describes actions or circumstances that put obstacles in the way of a process, activity, or person. The term is common in law, administration, and everyday language, where decisions or measures are described as restricting or delaying certain outcomes.

The word is formed from the noun akadály (obstacle) with the verb suffix -oz, creating a transitive verb. It typically governs a direct object indicating what is hindered, and it can be used together with the expression abban, hogy to mean “prevent someone from doing something.” For example, megakadályozza abban, hogy valaki utazzon, or a law can akadályozza a visszaéléseket.

Usage notes: Akadályoz is used to describe deliberate or systematic hindrance, but it can also refer to natural or unintended obstacles that prevent a goal from being reached. It appears in various tenses and forms, such as akadályozom (I hinder), akadályozol (you hinder), akadályozza (he/she hinders), and megakadályozott a past tense form meaning “prevented.”

Related terms include akadály (obstacle), akadályozás (hindrance or obstruction), akadályozó (hindering, obstructive), and meggátolás (prevention). The concept is commonly encountered in discussions of regulatory measures, logistical planning, and compliance contexts, where actions are described in terms of preventing or delaying outcomes.
