Túlmutat

Túlmutat is a Hungarian verb meaning to surpass, exceed, or go beyond a limit, standard, or expectation. It is used for quantities, performances, boundaries, or expectations, and can be employed in literal and figurative senses. The nuance is that the subject not merely increases but goes beyond what was set or anticipated. It is common in journalism, science, business, and everyday language.

Formed by the prefix túl- meaning beyond and mutat, meaning to show or indicate, thus literally "to show beyond." It is a productive compound verb in Hungarian and is commonly used with nouns indicating limits or standards to express that something exceeds a given bound.

The kutatási eredmények túlmutatnak a várakozásokon. A rendező stílusa túlmutat a hagyományokon. A vállalat teljesítménye túlmutat a prognózisokon.
