Végigkíséri

Végigkíséri is a third person singular present tense form of the Hungarian verb végigkísér, meaning to accompany someone or something all the way through a journey, process, or period. The prefix végig- adds the sense of completeness or continuity, i.e., throughout, along the entire way.

Etymology and construction: végigkísér combines végig- (throughout, along) with kísér (to accompany, to escort). As a transitive verb, it requires a direct object that is the person or thing being accompanied and a subject that performs the accompaniment. The basic idea is sustained presence or guidance from start to finish. The infinitive is végigkísérni; the past tenses and other forms follow regular Hungarian conjugation patterns for -ér/-ő verbs.

Usage and nuance: The term is used in both literal and metaphorical contexts. Literally, it can describe someone guiding another person along a route or through a journey. Metaphorically, it can describe guiding a person through a process, such as a program, a project, or a difficult period, or a reviewer or observer following something from beginning to end. It emphasizes continuity and active involvement over the entire span.

Examples:

- A mentor végigkíséri a hallgatókat a program során. (The mentor accompanies the students throughout the program.)

- A rendező végigkíséri a színészeket a forgatáson. (The director accompanies the actors throughout the filming.)

- A tanár végigkíséri a diákokat a vizsgafelkészülés folyamán. (The teacher accompanies the students during the exam preparation.)
