Megtekintette

Megtekintette is a Hungarian verb form derived from megtekinteni, meaning to view, inspect, or examine. It functions as a past tense form indicating a completed action and, in its typical use, refers to a third-person singular subject with a definite object.

In Hungarian grammar, megtekinteni is a transitive verb. The prefix meg- signals completion or thoroughness, and tekint is the root meaning to look. Megtekintette corresponds to the past definite (perfekt) conjugation, which is used when the direct object is definite or specific. The form contrast with other past forms that do not mark the object in the same way.

Usage of megtekintette is common in formal or descriptive prose, such as reports, official statements, or narratives describing actions taken by organizations or individuals. It emphasizes that the viewing or examination was carried out and completed for a particular object.

Example: A bizottság megtekintette a dokumentumot. This translates to "The committee viewed the document." Another example: A hivatal megtekintette a területet. Translation: "The office inspected the area." These examples illustrate the typical use with a definite object and a completed past action.
