akadályozzuk

akadályozzuk is the first-person plural present tense form of the Hungarian verb akadályozni, meaning to hinder, impede, or prevent. As a grammatical form, it denotes that the subject “we” are performing the action of hindering something in the present.

Etymology and basic meaning: the verb is built from the noun akadály, meaning obstacle, combined with the verbal suffix -ozni. The core sense is to create obstacles or conditions that make something harder to occur or to stop it from happening.

Usage and construction: akadályozzuk is used with a direct object that describes what is being hindered, often followed by a gerundive or infinitive clause, or a noun phrase. It is common to pair the verb with meg to form akadályozzuk meg, which adds the nuance of actively preventing something: for example, akadályozzuk meg a bejutást (we prevent entry). In subordinate clauses introduced by hogy, the verb appears as akadályozzuk, reflecting the same subject: például A javaslat célja, hogy akadályozzuk a káros tevékenységet (The proposal aims to prevent harmful activity).

Synonyms and nuance: meggátolunk and meggátolás are related verbs with similar meanings. akadályozzuk often emphasizes creating obstacles or hindering progression, while meggátolunk can carry a stronger sense of stopping something outright. Context and tone determine which form is most appropriate.

Common contexts: the form appears in formal or semi-formal writing and speech, including policy discussions, safety protocols, security measures, and organizational planning, where there is a deliberate effort to hinder or prevent a process or action.
