Megfordulása

Megfordulása is a Hungarian noun meaning the act or process of turning around, reversing direction, or changing course. It can refer to a physical turning, such as a person, animal, or vehicle changing orientation, as well as to a figurative reversal, such as a change of opinion, policy, or plan. The term is derived from the verb megfordul (to turn around, to reverse direction) with nominalizing and inflectional suffixes.

Etymology and forms: The base verb megfordul combines meg- (a prefix indicating completion or reversal) with fordul (to turn). The noun megfordulás denotes the act itself, while megfordulása is a specific inflected form used to indicate the turning around of a definite subject (for example, a particular person or object) within a sentence, such as “a hajó megfordulása” (the turning around of the ship). The form can occur in various grammatical contexts by attaching appropriate definite or possessive endings.

Usage: The term is common in descriptive and formal writing, including scientific, technical, and journalistic contexts. It can describe tangible maneuvers, as in a ship or vehicle turning around, or more abstract reversals, such as a strategic or political megfordulás. Related terms include megfordulás (the act itself), megforduló (turning, turning around in adjective form), and fordulás (a generic turning or rotation).
