Megválasztja

Megválasztja is a Hungarian verb form meaning “he/she/it elects” or, more generally, “to elect” in the sense of appointing someone to a position by vote. It is the third-person singular present indicative form of the infinitive megválasztani, which combines the root választani (to choose, to elect) with the prefix meg-.

The prefix meg- in Hungarian often marks completion, result, or a definite act. With megválasztani, the prefix emphasizes the outcome of a vote or decision, typically in a formal or collective context such as elections or appointments. The verb belongs to the válasz- family and is closely related to other forms derived from választani, including kiválasztani (to select, to pick), which has a broader sense of choosing from options without necessarily implying an official election.

Usage and forms: megválasztja is used when describing a single subject who elects someone or something in the present. Other persons and tenses exist, for example megválasztom (I elect), megválasztod (you elect), megválasztják (they elect), megválasztotta (he/she elected), and megválasztottam (I elected). The noun form megválasztás means the act of electing, while az illető megválasztása refers to a person’s election to office.

Typical contexts include political or organizational settings where a body votes to appoint a leader or official, such as a parliament electing a president or a committee electing a chair. In everyday language, megválasztani can also appear in non-political senses to mean “to elect” or “to choose” for a specific role or task, though kiválasztani or választani may be preferred for non-official selections.
