Megismétli

Megismétli is a Hungarian verb meaning to repeat something again or to reiterate, in the third person singular present tense. It is formed from the verb ismétel (to repeat) with the prefix meg-, which marks completion or thoroughness of the action. The prefix indicates that the repetition is intended as a full or emphasized act.

Morphology and usage help explain its nuance. Megismétli is transitive and typically requires a direct object in the accusative, such as a rule, a sentence, or a question: A tanár megismétli a szabályt. The action conveys that the speaker wants or needs the thing to be repeated in full, often for clarity or emphasis. Other tenses are formed regularly: megismételte (he/she repeated), megismételném (I would repeat), and so on.

In usage, megismétli is common in education, media, and everyday discourse when repeating content that has already been presented. It can carry a sense of thoroughness or insistence that the repetition addresses understanding or memory. It is distinct from ismétli, which lacks the completion nuance and can imply a simpler or nondirected repetition.

Etymology traces to ismétel with the prefix meg-, signaling a completed or intensified action. Related forms include the infinitive megismétel and related tenses formed from the same root. In translation, megismétli is often rendered as “repeats (again)” or “reiterates.”
