körbenézett

körbenézett is a Hungarian verb meaning "looked around." It is a compound verb formed from the prefix "körbe-" meaning "around" or "in a circle," and the verb "nézett" which is the past tense of "néz," meaning "to look." The term is used to describe the action of scanning one's surroundings, often to observe the environment, search for something, or assess a situation.

The usage of "körbenézett" can vary depending on the context. For example, one might say "A vendég körbenézett a teremben" which translates to "The guest looked around the room," implying they were observing the space and its occupants. It can also suggest a more cautious or furtive action, such as "Mielőtt elindult, körbenézett, hogy nincs-e ott senki," meaning "Before he left, he looked around to see if anyone was there." The verb emphasizes a comprehensive visual sweep rather than a focused gaze. It is a common and practical term in everyday Hungarian.
