kerekíteni

kerekíteni is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to round" or "to make round" in English. It is primarily used in mathematical contexts to refer to the process of approximating a number to a certain degree of precision, typically by increasing or decreasing it to the nearest whole number, tenth, hundredth, etc. For example, 3.14159 rounded to two decimal places is 3.14, and 3.14159 rounded to the nearest whole number is 3.

Beyond mathematics, kerekíteni can also be used figuratively. It can mean to "round off" or "conclude" something, like a speech or a meeting. For instance, one might "kerekíteni a napot" which means to "round off the day," implying a satisfying conclusion. It can also describe the act of making something round in shape, although this usage is less common than the mathematical or figurative sense. The word itself comes from "kerek," meaning round or circular.
