kiolvasni

Kiolvasni is a Hungarian verb formed from the prefix ki- ("out", "completed") and olvasni ("to read"). It carries several related meanings centered on extracting or completing the act of reading.

Common senses include reading aloud or reading something completely (for example, kiolvasni egy könyvet — to finish reading a book), and reading off data from an instrument or display (kiolvasni a műszer kijelzőjét — to read the instrument’s display). The verb also denotes extracting information or making an inference from signs or material evidence (valamit kiolvasni egy képből — to read something from a picture).

Kiolvasni implies a result or emphasis on the outcome of reading, reflecting the completive nuance of the prefix ki-. Related forms include the noun kiolvasás (the act of reading out or reading off) and conjugated verb forms such as kiolvastam (I read it) and kiolvasom (I will read it / read it out). Usage varies by context: literary or everyday reading, technical data retrieval, and figurative inference are all common. Pronunciation in Hungarian is roughly [ˈkiolvɒsni].
