Megfontolod

Megfontolod is a Hungarian verb form that functions as the second-person singular present tense. It is built from the verb fontolni, meaning “to weigh” or “to consider,” with the prefix meg- which adds a sense of complete or careful action. The form corresponds to the English “you weigh up” or “you consider carefully.”

In use, megfontolod appears when addressing someone directly in informal singular speech. It is commonly employed in discussions of decisions or plans, where the speaker wants the listener to reflect before acting. The verb often accompanies a direct object or a subordinate clause, for example: Megfontolod a döntést? “Are you weighing up the decision?” or Megfontolod, hogy elfogadod-e az ajánlatot. “You’re weighing whether to accept the offer.” This construction emphasizes careful consideration rather than a quick choice.

Morphology and related forms follow the standard Hungarian verb conjugation pattern for megfontolni. The related forms include megfontolom (I weigh up), megfontolja (he/she weighs up), megfontoljuk (we weigh up), and megfontoljátok (you all weigh up). The noun form fontolás means “consideration” or “weighing,” and the adjective fontolható describes something that should be considered or weighed.

Etymology derives megfontolod from fontolni with the prefix meg-, indicating completion or thoroughness. It is a common word in everyday Hungarian when discussing deliberation, planning, or decision-making.
