Megnevezte

Megnevezte is the past tense form of the Hungarian verb megnevezni, meaning to name, designate, or appoint. It is a third-person singular form, used to describe a completed action in which someone designated or named someone or something. The verb megnevezni is formed with the base nevezni (to name or to designate) plus the prefix meg-, which adds a sense of completion or formal designation.

Grammatically, megnevezte is transitive and requires a direct object in the accusative case. The subject of the sentence performs the action of naming or designating, while the object is the person or thing named. This form is common in official, administrative, or formal contexts where a name or position is formally assigned, such as appointments, titles, or designations.

Examples:

- A testület megnevezte az új elnököt. (The committee named the new president.)

- A parlament megnevezte a külügyi bizottság vezetőjét. (The parliament designated the head of the foreign affairs committee.)

Related terms include megnevezés, the noun meaning designation or naming, and nevezés, which also refers to naming but can have broader or slightly different connotations depending on context. Megnevezte emphasizes a completed, formal act of naming by a subject, whereas nevezni or megnevezni can appear in less formal or more general contexts. The form is part of standard Hungarian verb conjugation and interacts with the usual subject–verb–object word order of the language.
