Megkérdjelezi

Megkérdjelezi is not a recognized word in standard Hungarian, and it does not appear in major dictionaries or language corpora. As such, it does not have an established meaning or accepted usage in published Hungarian.

If the term appears in a text, it is most likely a misspelling or a very local/experimental coinage. It resembles the prefix meg- used to form perfective verbs in Hungarian, combined with a stem related to kérdez (to ask) or kérdezni (to inquire). The most common and authoritative forms in Hungarian for related meanings are megkérdezni (to ask someone something) and megkérdezi (he/she asks).

Etymologically, a plausible reading would be that megkérdjelezi attempts to build on meg- plus a verb stem derived from kérdez, but such a stem does not exist in standard Hungarian verb paradigms. Because of this, megkérdjelezi remains undeclared and ambiguous in meaning without further context or a stated neologism rule from the author who coined it.

Usage guidance for writers and editors is to treat megkérdjelezi as a potential error unless there is explicit definition within a given work. In most cases, it should be corrected to megkérdezni or megkérdezi, depending on the intended grammatical person and tense. When citing or standardizing terminology, prefer the conventional forms to maintain clarity.

Related terms include megkérdezni, megkérdezi, and more broadly the prefixed verb forms built with meg- in Hungarian. Without additional context, megkérdjelezi remains an unetymologized and nonstandard form.
