Megtekintését

Megtekintését is a Hungarian noun-form related to the act of viewing or inspecting something. The base noun megtekintés denotes the act of looking at or examining, and megtekintését is the definite-object form used when the act of viewing is the object of a verb. This morphological form is common in administrative, legal, and formal styles of Hungarian, where the action described by megtekintés can be treated as a discrete event whose viewing is being referenced or acted upon.

Etymology and form: megtekintés originates from the verb megtekinteni (to view, to inspect). The suffix -és nominalizes the verb to an abstract event (the viewing). The further ending -ét marks the definite direct object in Hungarian, yielding megtekintését to indicate “its/to its viewing” or “the viewing of it” depending on context. The form is typically used with verbs that take a definite object, such as engedélyezik (to authorize), követően (following), or jóváhagyják (to approve).

Usage and context: Megtekintését appears in formal phrases such as a megtekintését engedélyezték (they authorized its viewing) or a dokumentum megtekintését követően (after the viewing of the document). It is employed when the focus is on the act of viewing as a specific event rather than on the content itself. While common in official documents and communications, it can also appear in media and archival contexts where tracking the act of viewing is relevant.
