Mérlegelésre

Mérlegelésre is a Hungarian expression formed from the noun mérlegelés (deliberation, weighing) plus the suffix -re, which indicates purpose or direction. The phrase essentially means “for consideration” or “for weighing,” and is used to mark that something should be carefully examined before a decision or action is taken. It appears in personal, organizational, policy, and legal contexts, where a thorough assessment of options, risks, and impacts is required.

Etymology and form: The base noun mérlegelés derives from mérlegelni, meaning to weigh or deliberate. The suffix -re attaches to indicate the intended use or target of the action, yielding mérlegelésre = for deliberation/for weighing.

Usage and examples: In everyday language, the term signals that a matter requires careful assessment. Example: A döntés meghozatala előtt a vezetőség mérlegelésre veszi az összes érvet és kockázatot. In formal or legal contexts, it can denote that evidence or arguments are to be weighed: A bizonyítékokat mérlegelésre bocsátják a bíróság előtt. The phrase is common in policy discussions, business planning, and ethical debates to emphasize due diligence and thorough consideration.
