Megfontolja

Megfontolja is a form of the Hungarian verb megfontolni, meaning to consider or weigh carefully and to deliberate before making a decision. It is the third-person singular present indicative form (ő/ön megfontolja) and is used with a direct object in the accusative, for example: A javaslatot megfontolja. The prefix meg- conveys a sense of thoroughness or completion, while fontol denotes weighing or weighing up options.

Usage and nuances: Megfontolja is typically used in neutral or formal contexts, such as political, business, or administrative discourse, to describe the process of careful consideration before acting. It suggests a deliberate and weighed judgment, often over a proposal, plan, or decision. It can be contrasted with egyes kifejezések nyelvi árnyalataival, such as mérlegelni (to weigh options) or meggondolni (to reconsider or think over again, sometimes with a more personal or reconsideratory nuance).

Conjugation and example: Infinitive megfontolni; present tense forms include: én megfontolom, te megfontolod, ő/ön megfontolja; mi megfontoljuk, ti megfontoljátok, ők megfontolják. The past tense forms include megfontolta (he weighed/analyzed) and megfontolták (they weighed/analyzed). Example: A döntést alaposan megfontolta.

Etymology and related forms: The verb combines the prefix meg- with fontol (weigh, deliberate). It is related to, but distinct from, meggondolni (to reconsider) and mérlegelni (to weigh options). Megfontolás is a related noun form referring to the act of careful consideration or deliberation.
