Megrövidül

Megrövidül is a Hungarian verb. It is the past tense, third-person singular form of the verb "megrövidül" which translates to "to shorten" or "to become shorter" in English. Therefore, "megrövidül" literally means "it shortened" or "it became shorter."

This verb is used to describe a process where something decreases in length or duration. For example, one might say "A nap megrövidül" which means "The day shortened," referring to the decrease in daylight hours as autumn progresses. Similarly, "Az út megrövidül" could mean "The road shortened," implying that the journey became shorter, perhaps due to a new, more direct route being available.

The verb is formed by the prefix "meg-" which indicates completion of an action, and the root "rövidül," meaning to become short. The "-ül" suffix often denotes a process of change. As a past tense form, it signifies that the shortening has already occurred. Its usage is common in everyday Hungarian when discussing changes in physical dimensions, time, or even abstract concepts like time periods or distances.
