Megállapítja

Megállapítja is a Hungarian verb form meaning “he/she determines, ascertains or concludes,” and it is the present tense, third-person singular definite conjugation of the infinitive megállapítani (to determine, to ascertain). The sense carries a sense of reaching a conclusion about a fact or state based on evidence or analysis. It is commonly used in formal written language, such as reports, studies, court rulings, and official statements.

Etymology and form: The verb is built from the prefix meg- attached to the stem állapít (to determine) plus the personal ending -ja, which marks the third person singular definite form. The prefix meg- signals completion or a definite result, aligning with the perfective aspect of the verb. The infinitive is megállapítani, while the present tense forms include megállapítja for he/she determines when the object is definite.

Usage and examples: Megállapítja is typically employed with a definite object or within a clause that states a conclusion. Example: A vizsgálat megállapítja, hogy a gyógyszer hatékony. (The investigation determines that the medicine is effective.) It can also appear in legal or scientific prose, such as: A jelentés megállapítja az okokat. The corresponding past tense is megállapította, and other persons are formed with standard Hungarian conjugation.
