Megtekintése

Megtekintése is a Hungarian noun referring to the act or process of viewing, inspecting, or examining something. It is formed from the verb megtekinteni (to view, inspect) with the prefix meg- and the nominal suffix -ése, and, in its inflected form, it can carry a possessive ending, yielding megtekintése meaning “its viewing” or “the viewing of it.” In grammar, megtekintés serves as a noun; megtekintése is used when the action is attributed to a possessor or object.

The term is common in formal, administrative, cultural, and digital contexts. Examples include A dokumentum megtekintése szükséges a folytatáshoz (Viewing the document is required) or A kiállítás megtekintése díjmentes (Viewing the exhibition is free). On online platforms, megtekintés appears in phrases such as a termék megtekintése (viewing the product) or as a label indicating content that can be viewed. In analytics, megtekintésszám refers to the number of views, and megtekintésszámláló to a view counter.

Nuance and register: megtekintése tends to be more formal or technical than megnézés, which is the everyday verb for looking at or watching. Megtekintés can convey a deliberate, thorough, or official act of viewing, whereas megnézés often implies a quicker or casual look. Related terms include tekint, megtekintés, megnézés, nézés, and megfigyelés (observation). In some contexts, megtekintés and megtekintése may be used interchangeably, with subtle differences in tone or specificity.
