megfeszíti

Megfeszíti is a Hungarian transitive verb meaning to tighten, to tense up, or to stretch to the maximum. It describes making something taut or under increased tension, such as muscles, strings, ropes, or bands. The action can be literal, as when tightening a cord, or figurative, as when increasing pressure or control.

Etymology and form: the verb is derived from feszít, meaning to stretch or tighten, with the prefix meg- indicating completion or intensification, yielding a perfective meaning. The infinitive is megfeszíteni, and megfeszíti is the third-person singular present indicative form. Other forms include megfeszítem (I tense), megfeszíted (you tense), megfeszítjük (we tense), megfeszítitek (you all tense), megfeszítik (they tense). The past tense is megfeszítette (he/she tightened) and megfeszítették (they tightened). The imperative forms are megfeszítsd (singular) and megfeszítsétek (plural).

Usage: Megfeszíti is used for a variety of contexts involving tightening or increasing tension. In sports or physiology, one might say, The athlete megfeszíti az izmait (tightens his muscles). In music or construction, it can describe tightening strings or ropes, as in A hegedűs megfeszíti a húrokat (the violinist tightens the strings).

Notes: Megfeszíteni denotes the infinitive; megfeszíti is a key inflected form used in present-tense statements about a single subject. It is closely related to other forms built from feszít, such as feszítés (tightening) and megfeszítés (the act or result of tightening).
