Megfogalmazása

Megfogalmazása is a Hungarian term referring to the act or result of formulating something into clear, precise language. It derives from the verb megfogalmazni (to phrase, to formulate) and the suffixes -ás and -a, yielding a noun that can mean both the process of formulating and the resulting wording. The term is widely used in writing, rhetoric, law, journalism, and education to describe how a statement, instruction, proposal, or explanation is worded.

The concept emphasizes clarity, accuracy, conciseness, and awareness of the intended audience. A well-expressed megfogalmazása helps prevent ambiguity, aligns with the communicative goal, and follows genre- and context-specific conventions. In practice, improving megfogalmazása often involves drafting, editing, and rewording: simplifying complex ideas, removing redundancy, and selecting precise terms.

Megfogalmazása can refer to a single sentence, a passage, or the overall formulation of a message or policy. For example, one might remark that a given megfogalmazása made an instruction easier to understand, whereas poor formulation led to misinterpretation. Related terms include fogalmazás (wording, phrasing), megfogalmazó (the person who formulates), and stilisztika (stylistics). The concept is central to effective communication, argumentative writing, and professional drafting.
