Megjavította

Megjavította is a Hungarian verb form meaning “he repaired” or “she fixed,” and by extension “it fixed.” It is the third-person singular past tense form of the verb megjavítani, which means to repair, fix, or improve something. The form is commonly used when referring to a completed action affecting a definite object.

Etymology and grammar: The verb megjavítani is built from the prefix meg-, indicating completion, together with the root javít, from javítani, “to repair” or “to improve.” The suffix -otta marks the past definite form for the third person singular. This makes megjavította appropriate when the subject performed a specific, completed repair, for example Megjavította az ajtót (He repaired the door) or Megjavította a mosógépet (She fixed the washing machine).

Usage notes: Megjavította is primarily used for tangible repairs, but it can also be employed metaphorically to mean that someone has improved or corrected a situation or error, e.g., Megjavította a hibát a szoftverben (She fixed the bug in the software). In such cases, the object can be definite or indefinite depending on the sentence structure.

Related forms: The verb has other conjugations across moods and tenses, such as megjavítom (I fix), megjavítod (you fix), megjavítja (he/she/it fixes), and megjavítottam (I fixed). The prefix meg- distinguishes completion from the related verb kijavít, which emphasizes correction or remediation from a separate source.
