Kinevezni

Kinevezni is a Hungarian verb meaning to appoint or designate someone to a position or office. It is a transitive verb used in formal and official contexts to describe the act of naming a person to a specific role.

Etymology and form: The verb is formed from nevezni, “to name,” with the prefix ki-, which in this sense conveys completion or outward designation. The related noun kinevezés denotes the act, process, or result of appointing. The term is commonly combined with a person and a title, for example: kinevezni valakit egy igazgatói posztra.

Usage: Kinevezni is widely used in government, corporate, and institutional communication. Examples include announcing a new official or board member, or reporting the formal designation of someone to a post. For example, a sentence such as “A miniszterelnök kinevezte az új igazgatót” translates to “The prime minister appointed the new director,” and “Az új kinevezés júliusban történt” means “The appointment took place in July.”

Grammatical notes: Kinevezni behaves like a standard Hungarian -ni verb and follows regular conjugation patterns for such verbs. The present tense and other forms are built by adding the usual personal endings to the stem kinevez-. The past tense forms are formed with the standard past suffixes, matching the person and number of the subject. The past participle kinevezett is used as an adjective meaning “appointed.”
