Megszünteti

Megszünteti is the third person singular present tense form of the Hungarian verb megszüntetni. It means to terminate, discontinue, abolish, or revoke something. The infinitive is megszüntetni. The word is commonly used in formal, official, or bureaucratic language to indicate that a law, program, organization, contract, or practice is being ended.

In use, megszünteti requires a direct object in the accusative to specify what is being terminated, for example: “megszünteti a szerződést” (terminates the contract) or “megszünteti a támogatást” (discontinues the funding). The form adapts to different tenses and voices in the usual Hungarian conjugation: megszüntette (past), meg fogja szüntetni (future), etc. The action is typically presented as completed or decided by the subject of the sentence, often in official statements or news reports.

Examples:

- A minisztérium megszünteti a korábbi programot.

- A szervezet megszünteti a tagfelvételi eljárást.

- A rendelet szerint 2025-től megszüntetik a kedvezményeket.

Etymology and style notes:

Megszünteti is formed from the prefix meg- and the verb szüntet, meaning to cease or end. The construction is standard in Hungarian for describing the ending or abolition of actions, policies, or statuses. In neutral, descriptive writing, megszüntetni and its conjugations are preferred to more emphatic or informal expressions.
