Megfogalmazom

Megfogalmazom is the first-person singular present indicative form of the Hungarian verb megfogalmazni, meaning to formulate or to phrase in words. It denotes the act of expressing a thought, idea, or statement clearly and precisely, often in writing or speech. The form is used when the speaker wants to state something in articulate terms, whether introducing a new formulation or restating an idea.

Etymology and morphology: The verb combines fogalmazni, “to phrase” or “to word,” with the prefix meg-, which in Hungarian commonly signals completion or thoroughness. The infinitive is megfogalmazni; present tense forms include megfogalmazom (1st person singular), megfogalmazol (2nd person singular), and megfogalmazik (3rd person singular). The past tense is megfogalmaztam, and the past participle is megfogalmazott. The noun forms megfogalmazás or fogalmazás refer to the act or result of wording, with megfogalmazás often used for reformulation.

Usage: Megfogalmazom is typical in formal writing, editing, and discourse when a speaker intends to articulate thoughts clearly. It can describe formulating a new statement or refining wording for precision. The construction is frequently combined with direct objects representing the content being formulated, e.g., megfogalmazom a véleményemet vagy megfogalmazom a javaslatomat.
