Kihagyja

Kihagyja is a Hungarian verb meaning to skip, omit, or leave out. It is transitive and typically used with a definite direct object, referring to something that is intentionally not done, not included, or not taken into account. The verb expresses both the act of skipping an event or item (such as a class, meal, or opportunity) and the act of omitting a detail in a text or list. The noun form is kihagyás, referring to the omission or gap itself.

Etymology and related forms: kihagyja is formed from ki- (out, away) and hagy (to leave, to permit) with the infinitive kihagyni. The prefix ki- conveys separation or removal. The word belongs to the group of verbs that take a definite object in conjugation, which can affect the suffix used in the third person singular. For example, the infinitive is kihagyni, the third person singular present is kihagyja, and the past tense is kihagyta.

Usage notes: Kihagyja is used when the object of skipping or omitting is definite, such as a meal, a class, or an opportunity. It can also describe leaving out details in writing or speech. Examples include: "Ő kihagyja a reggelijét." meaning he skips his breakfast; "Ő kihagyja az órát." meaning he skips the class; and "Kihagyta a lehetőséget." meaning he missed the opportunity.
