Megismételd

Megismételd is a Hungarian verb form that functions as the second-person singular present imperative of megismételni, meaning to repeat. It is used to directly instruct or request someone to repeat something aloud or again. In everyday speech, it appears in informal contexts, such as conversations, classrooms, or instructional settings.

Morphology and nuance: the form combines the prefix meg- with the stem ismétel (to repeat) and the imperative ending -d, signaling a completed or thorough repetition. The prefix meg- conveys a sense of finishing or rendering the action in full, which in practice often means repeating something to ensure understanding or accuracy. The imperative mood makes megismételd a directive rather than a descriptive statement. It contrasts with the formal or polite variant, which uses ismételje meg (for example, in addressing someone respectfully).

Usage notes and examples: megismételd a mondatot. (Repeat the sentence.) Megismételd kérlek azt a részt. (Please repeat that part.) For a formal address, Hungarian speakers would typically use ismételje meg, as in Ismételje meg a mondatot. The form megismételd can be found in instructional materials, dialogue scripts, and casual dialogue where a direct, informal instruction is appropriate.
