Megjutalmazza

Megjutalmazza is a Hungarian verb in the third person singular present tense meaning to reward oneself. It combines the verb jutalmaz (to reward) with the prefixed form meg- and the reflexive sense, indicating that the subject performs the reward for themselves. In usage, megjutalmazza expresses self-reward or self-approval, often after achieving a goal, completing a demanding task, or as a form of self-care and motivation.

In ordinary speech, the action is typically specified with a reflexive pronoun such as magát or önmagát to clarify that the reward is for the speaker or subject themselves. For example, megjutalmazza magát egy finom vacsorával means “he rewards himself with a fine dinner.” The reflexive construction is common but sometimes omitted, especially in less explicit contexts.

Grammatically, megjutalmazni is the infinitive form. The present tense forms include: én megjutalmazom magam, te megjutalmazod magad, ő megjutalmazza magát, mi megjutalmazzuk magunkat, ti megjutalmazzátok magatokat, ők megjutalmazzák magukat. The concept is closely related to önjutalmazás, or self-reward, which denotes the broader act or practice of rewarding oneself rather than others.

Common contexts involve personal achievement, stress relief, or self-care routines. The phrase is neutral in tone, but can carry connotations of self-discipline, motivation, or occasional indulgence depending on the reward chosen.
