Megemelés

Megemelés is a Hungarian noun that denotes the act or result of raising something to a higher level or increasing it beyond its previous value. It is formed from the verb emelni (to lift, to raise) with the prefix meg-, which in Hungarian often signals completion, intensification, or formalization. The term can be used in both physical contexts (lifting a load) and figurative contexts (increases in numbers, values, or intensities).

Common usages range from everyday to formal language. In public life and economics, megemelés frequently appears in reference to increases in prices, wages, fees, or tax-related measures, as in discussions of a policy or budget adjustment. In administrative or legislative discourse, it can describe an approved increase or the act of raising a rate or contribution. In a technical or engineering setting, megemelés may describe a re-lifting operation or the process of raising a component after a lowering.

Etymology and notes on usage: the prefix meg- typically conveys completion or emphasis, and megemelés is a nominalized form of emelni. The word tends to appear in more formal or bureaucratic registers. For more precise or context-specific wording, speakers may prefer related terms such as emelés for a general lifting, növekedés or áremelés for growth or price increases, depending on the exact sense.

Examples: A kormány bejelentette a megemelést, amely 5 százalékos adóemelést jelent. A vállalat közölte, a megemelés júliusban lép hatályba.
