Megzavarni

Megzavarni is a Hungarian transitive verb meaning to disturb, disrupt, or interrupt someone or something, causing a disruption of concentration, peace, or an ongoing process. It is built from the noun zavar (disturbance) with the prefix meg-, which in Hungarian typically adds a sense of completion or intensification to the action.

Common uses include disturbing a person’s focus, interrupting an activity, or creating disorder within a system or event. Examples: A zaj megzavarja a vizsgálatot (The noise disturbs the examination). A váratlan kérdés megzavarhatja a beszélgetést (A sudden question may disrupt the conversation). A vihar megzavarta a közlekedést (The storm disrupted traffic).

Grammatical notes: Megzavarni is a regular transitive verb that takes a direct object in the accusative. The prefix meg- remains in various tenses and moods, and the verb agrees with the subject in person and number. Conjugation follows standard Hungarian patterns for verbs with the root zavar.

Related terms and nuances: zavar (disturbance) as a noun; zavaró (disturbing); zavaros (disturbed or unclear). Antonyms include nyugtatni or megnyugtatni (to calm, to reassure). In everyday language, megzavarni often refers to interrupting a person’s train of thought, speech, or a scheduled activity rather than physical harm.
