Elreszámított

Elreszámított is a Hungarian verb that translates to "miscalculated" or "got the sum wrong" in English. It is the past tense, third-person singular form of the verb "elromlani," which itself is a compound verb formed from "el-" (a directional prefix) and "számítani" (to count, calculate, or expect).

The word "elreszámított" is used when someone has made an error in a calculation, whether it be mathematical, financial, or even in a more figurative sense of misjudging a situation or outcome. For example, one might say "Azt hittem, hogy elég lesz a pénz, de elreszámítottam" which means "I thought the money would be enough, but I miscalculated." It implies a mistake in a quantitative or predictive process.

The prefix "el-" often indicates that something has gone wrong, been spoiled, or been done incorrectly. In this context, it emphasizes the faulty nature of the calculation. The verb can be used in both personal and impersonal contexts. A person can have miscalculated ("Elreszámítottam magam"), or a situation can have been miscalculated by an unspecified entity ("A költségeket elreszámították" - the costs were miscalculated). The core meaning revolves around an incorrect outcome due to an error in the process of accounting or estimation.
