Megszámolni

Megszámolni is a Hungarian verb. It translates to "to count" or "to number" in English. It is derived from the verb számol, meaning "to calculate" or "to count." The prefix meg- indicates a completed action, so megszámolni specifically refers to the act of completing the counting of something.

It can also be used more abstractly, such as megszámolni the stars in the sky, implying an overwhelming or perhaps impossible task. In a figurative sense, it can mean to reckon with something or to consider it, often in a negative context, such as "nem lehet megszámolni a hibáit," meaning "one cannot count his faults" or "his faults are innumerable."
