Megakadályozod

Megakadályozod is a Hungarian verb form meaning “you prevent” or “you hinder” in the present tense, second-person singular, indicative mood. It is derived from the verb megakadályozni, which means to hinder or to prevent, with the prefix meg- indicating a completed or intensified action.

Grammar and usage: Megakadályozod is transitive and requires a direct object in the accusative or a subordinate clause introduced by hogy. Examples: Megakadályozod a baleset bekövetkezését. Megakadályozod, hogy elhagyják a helyszínt. In both examples the action is directed at preventing something from occurring or a particular outcome.

Conjugation and related forms: present indicative forms include én megakadályozom, te megakadályozod, ő megakadályozza, mi megakadályozzuk, ti megakadályozzátok, ők megakadályozzák. Other tenses exist as with other Hungarian verbs, such as a past "megakadályoztam" (I prevented).

Etymology and nuance: the word combines meg- with akadályozni, whose root akadály means barrier or obstacle. The prefix meg- marks the action as completed or intensified and modulates aspect. The verb is commonly used in everyday speech as well as formal writing to describe actions that prevent a plan, event, or outcome from taking place.

Relation to other terms: synonyms include meggátol and gátol, though there are nuance differences; meggátol and gátol can carry slightly different connotations of blocking or hindering, while akadályoz emphasizes preventing something from happening, often by removing or creating an obstacle.
