Megfújni

Megfújni is a Hungarian verb formed from the root fúj (to blow) with the prefix meg-, which signals a completed or emphasized action and yields a perfective aspect. The infinitive denotes the act of blowing air into or onto something, typically as a transitive action affecting a direct object.

In ordinary use, megfújni is relatively rare compared with more common alternatives such as felfújni (to inflate) or elfújni (to blow out). When it does appear, the sense is usually tied to a deliberate, complete act of blowing into or onto something—for example inflating an object or expelling air into a device or opening. Because of its prefix and nuance, megfújni is more likely to occur in literary, technical, or emphatic contexts than in everyday speech.

Morphologically, megfújni behaves like a standard Hungarian perfective verb. Its conjugation follows the regular pattern of prefixed verbs with the infinitive ending -ni. The prefix meg- also appears on other verbs to convey a completed action or a strong focus on the result, and megfújni shares this general productive pattern with related forms.

Etymologically, the verb derives from the base fúj (to blow) with the productive prefix meg-, a common mechanism in Hungarian for forming perfective, aspectual, or intensifying variants.
