Körülhatárolja

Körülhatárolja is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to delimit," "to define the boundaries of," or "to encircle." It signifies the act of establishing limits or confines around something, whether in a literal or figurative sense.

In a physical context, "körülhatárolja" can describe the process of marking the edges of a property with a fence, wall, or natural features like a river or forest. It implies creating a clear separation between one area and another. For example, one might say "A kerítés körülhatárolja a kertet," meaning "The fence delimits the garden."

Figuratively, the verb can refer to setting boundaries in abstract concepts. This could involve defining the scope of a project, clarifying the terms of an agreement, or establishing the limitations of a theory. For instance, "Az új szabályok körülhatárolják a felelősségeket," translates to "The new rules define the responsibilities." It can also imply containing or restricting something, such as emotions or behavior.

The root of the word, "határ," means "border" or "boundary." The prefix "körül-" means "around." Thus, "körülhatárolja" literally suggests putting a border around something. It is a versatile term used in various contexts to express the concept of setting limits or defining perimeters.
