Megakadályozzuk

Megakadályozzuk is a Hungarian verb form meaning we prevent or we hinder. It is the first-person plural present indicative form of megakadályozni, the verb used to express preventing something or stopping a process. The prefix meg- adds a sense of completion or finality to the action, giving the sense that the prevention is achieved or aimed for as a concrete outcome. This form is commonly used in formal, policy-related, legal, and safety contexts, as well as in everyday speech when describing actions taken to stop a risk, harm, or undesired development.

Etymology and morphology: the base verb akadályozni comes from akadály, meaning obstacle, with the causative or preventive suffix -ozni. The prefix meg- marks the action as complete or definite. In the 1st person plural present tense, the verb is conjugated as megakadályozzuk, with the suffixes reflecting the subject (mi, we) and the present tense. The word can take different moods and tenses, for example megakadályoztuk (we prevented) in the past, or megakadályozni (the infinitive).

Usage: megakadályozzuk is used when the speaker includes themselves with others in a collective effort to prevent a specific outcome. It often appears in official statements, risk-management discussions, and procedural documents. Similar verbs include meggátolni, which has a slightly stronger sense of blocking or stopping, sometimes implying a more physical or immediate barrier.
