Felvázolni

Felvázolni is a Hungarian verb meaning to outline, sketch, or present a concise, structured view of a topic, plan, or argument. It denotes providing a high-level overview, highlighting the main elements without going into exhaustive detail.

Etymology: fel- is a prefix meaning "to," "up" or indicating completion or coverage, added to vázolni, "to outline." Together they emphasize presenting the subject in its essential framework.

Usage and grammar: felvázolni is a transitive verb, taking a direct object such as a plan, problem, proposal, or argument (for example, felvázolni egy tervet, felvázolni a problémát). The form is common in formal and semi-formal contexts: in writing, presentations, and discussions. The imperative is felvázold, and the past tense is felvázoltam, felvázoltad, felvázolta, etc.

Nuance: it implies a deliberate, structured summary rather than full detail; it often signals readiness to discuss the subject at a higher level. Synonyms include vázolni or ismertetni in similar contexts, though felvázolni can carry a slightly more formal or definitive tone.

Examples: A tanulmány felvázolja a kutatás fő irányait. Kérlek, felvázold röviden a javasolt megoldást.
