Megbasztani

Megbasztani is a Hungarian vulgar slang verb derived from baszni, meaning to have sexual intercourse. The term is highly coarse and informal, and it is typically used in casual speech, in some forms of popular culture, or in strong-idiomatic contexts. In standard or polite language, one would use more neutral phrases such as szexelni valakivel.

The primary sexual sense of megbasztani is transitive and takes a direct object referring to the person involved, for example to indicate that someone has had sex with another person. Because of its vulgarity, it is rarely appropriate in formal writing and can be offensive in many social settings. Usage often depends on region, speaker, and context, and it may convey aggressiveness or roughness in the described act.

A figurative meaning exists as well: megbasztani can mean to screw someone over or to cheat or take unfair advantage of someone. In this sense the object is not a sexual partner but a person or party that is harmed or exploited, e.g., “megbasztak minket” = “they screwed us over.” This figurative sense is common in colloquial speech.

Etymology and grammar notes: megbasztani is the infinitive form formed from baszni with the prefix meg- to indicate a completed or intensified action. Other forms follow standard Hungarian conjugation patterns for this verb class. Given its strong vulgarity, care should be taken with audience and context. See also baszni and megbasz.
