Javítani

Javítani is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to fix," "to repair," "to improve," or "to correct" in English. The specific meaning depends on the context in which it is used. When referring to physical objects, javítani typically means to mend something that is broken or not functioning properly. For example, one might say "megjavítani a biciklit" (to fix the bicycle) or "megjavítani a gépet" (to repair the machine).

In a more abstract sense, javítani can be used to indicate making something better or enhancing its quality. This could apply to skills, knowledge, or performance. For instance, "javítani a tudásán" means to improve one's knowledge, and "javítani az eredményén" refers to improving one's score or result. The verb also signifies making corrections to errors, such as in written text or spoken language. "Megjavítani a hibákat" translates to "to correct the mistakes."

The prefix "meg-" is often used with javítani to indicate the completion of the action, forming the perfective aspect. Thus, "megjavítani" emphasizes that the fixing or improving has been successfully done. Without the prefix, "javítani" can refer to the ongoing process or the general act of fixing. The conjugation of javítani follows standard Hungarian verb patterns, changing endings based on person, number, and tense.
