Megemlíti

Megemlíti is a Hungarian verb meaning to mention something, typically in passing or with a brief reference. The action is usually brief or incidental within a broader statement, rather than a full elaboration. It is formed with the prefix meg- attached to the verb említeni (to mention), giving a perfective nuance that emphasizes the act of mentioning as a completed or completed-like reference.

In usage, megemlíti is common in formal and informal prose, including news, essays, and everyday speech. It often introduces or notes a fact, detail, or consideration without going into extensive discussion. For example, a sentence such as A cikk megemlíti a vizsgálat eredményeit means The article mentions the results of the investigation. The nuance is that the mention is part of a larger narrative rather than the main focus.

Morphology and grammar: megemlíteni is the infinitive form; megemlíti is the present tense, third person singular form typically used as in A tanár megemlíti a példát. The prefix meg- marks the action as complete or definite within the context of the sentence. The verb can take a direct object, as in megemlíteni valamit (to mention something), or be used with phrases like megemlíti, hogy… (he/she mentions that…).

Related terms include említés (mention, reference), említeni (to mention) and a range of synonyms such as megemlít, which can be used in slightly different nuances. Megemlíti remains a go-to expression for signaling a brief acknowledgment or note within a larger discourse.
