fölülvizsgálni

Fölülvizsgálni is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to review," "to re-examine," "to reconsider," or "to revise" in English. It generally implies a process of looking back at something that has already been done, decided, or established, with the intention of assessing its validity, accuracy, or suitability, and potentially making changes.

The term is commonly used in various contexts. In an academic setting, it might refer to reviewing one's own work before submission or a professor reviewing student papers. In a legal or administrative context, it can mean a higher authority re-examining a decision made by a lower one. In a personal or professional life, it can signify reconsidering a plan, a decision, or one's own performance. The core idea is a secondary inspection or evaluation aimed at improvement or correction.

The prefix "fölül" means "from above" or "over," and "vizsgálni" means "to examine" or "to inspect." Together, they suggest an examination from a higher or more detached perspective, allowing for a more objective assessment. This often involves looking at the subject matter with fresh eyes or with a different set of criteria than were initially applied. The outcome of a fölülvizsgálat can range from confirming the original status quo to implementing significant modifications or even complete reversals.
