MEGnyomom

Megnyomom is the first-person singular present tense form of the Hungarian verb megnyomni, meaning to press or push something, typically a button, switch, or lever. The prefix meg- indicates the action is completed or initiated with purpose, and nyom- is the root meaning to press. Megnyomom is used to describe the speaker actively performing the action at the moment or as a habitual action and requires a direct object, as in megnyomom a gombot (“I press the button”).

Related forms include megnyomod (you press), megnyomja (he/she presses), and megnyomjuk (we press). The infinitive is megnyomni, and the past tense first-person form is megnyomtam (“I pressed”). Megnyomom and its related forms appear in everyday speech as well as technical or instructional contexts, especially when describing steps that involve initiating an action by pressing a control.

Pronunciation is roughly meg-nyo-mom, with stress on the first syllable: MEG-nyo-mom. The Hungarian ny sound is a palatal nasal [ɲ], and the prefix meg- attaches to nyom- to form the complete verb meaning “to press down” or “to push.”
