körülhatárolni

Körülhatárolni is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to delimit," "to define the boundaries of," or "to circumscribe" in English. It describes the act of setting limits or clearly marking the extent of something. This can be applied in both literal and figurative senses.

Literally, "körülhatárolni" can refer to physically enclosing an area, such as fencing off a property or marking out a construction site. It implies creating a clear boundary that separates one space from another. In this context, it emphasizes the establishment of a perimeter.

Figuratively, the verb is used to denote the process of defining or specifying abstract concepts. For example, one might "körülhatárolni" a problem to understand its scope and specific characteristics. It can also be used when clarifying the terms of an agreement or specifying the scope of a project. This figurative usage highlights the intellectual act of drawing distinctions and establishing parameters for understanding or action. The core meaning remains consistent: to establish a boundary, whether physical or conceptual.
