Megkísérli

Megkísérli is a Hungarian verb form used to express that someone is attempting to do something. It derives from the infinitive megkísérelni, meaning "to attempt," and consists of the prefix meg- added to the stem kísér, with the ending -li marking the third-person singular present indicative. The prefix meg- often conveys a sense of completing or undertaking the action, here in the sense of making an effort to achieve it.

In usage, megkísérli denotes a deliberate attempt and is typically followed by an infinitive clause or a direct object that specifies the task being attempted. For example: Ő megkísérli megoldani a feladatot. A kutató megkísérli elérni a célt. These sentences show the verb describing someone trying to perform a specific action, often implying some difficulty or uncertainty about the outcome.

Grammatical notes: megkísérli is a finite verb form in the present tense, third-person singular. It is transitive and commonly used in both narrative and factual prose to convey intentional effort. The related infinitive form is megkísérelni, and the noun form megkísérlés exists to denote the act of attempting.

Compared with synonyms, megkísérli emphasizes the act of making an effort rather than simply attempting in a general sense; the more neutral próba or próbál is often used for simpler or less formal contexts. Megkísérli appears more in formal writing or precise descriptions of deliberate attempts.
