Megnyílt

Megnyúlt is a Hungarian word functioning as an adjective and past participle meaning “lengthened” or “stretched out.” It is formed with the prefix meg- attached to the verb nyújt (to stretch, extend) or nyúl (to lengthen), and describes something that has become longer through stretching or extension. The sense can be physical, material, or temporal.

In common usage, megnyúlt describes objects that have lengthened due to force or processing, such as fabric, rope, or metal: for example, a rope may megnyúl under tension, or fabric may megnyúl after washing. It can also describe time or sequences that feel elongated: “Az idő megnyúlt a hosszú rendezvény miatt.” The word can appear attributively as in “megnyúlt nyak” or “megnyúlt ruha,” or predicatively with a linking verb: “A nyak megnyúlt.”

Grammatically, megnyúlt is the past participle form and can be used as an adjective or as part of verb constructions in past or perfective contexts. Related terms include megnyújtás (the act or process of elongating/lengthening) and nyújtás (stretching). In everyday language, megnyúlt often contrasts with kinyúlt, which can emphasize sagging or excessive stretch.

Overall, megnyúlt is a versatile term in Hungarian for describing anything that has become longer, either physically through stretching or metaphorically through the passage of time.
