megfizetni

Megfizetni is a Hungarian verb meaning to pay for something, to pay in full, or to settle a debt. It is a compound formed with the prefix meg- attached to fizetni (to pay). The meg- prefix conveys completion or fulfillment, giving the sense of paying the price in full or resolving a payment obligation.

The verb is transitive and used with a direct object indicating what is paid. It is common in contexts involving invoices, services, prices, and charges. It can express obligation, intention, or possibility: for example, meg kell fizetni a számlát (the bill must be paid), or Szeretném megfizetni ezt (I would like to pay for this). In past contexts one can say megfizette a tartozását (he paid his debt). The infinitive megfizetni is often used after modal verbs or as the subject of a sentence, for instance in phrases like “Meg kell fizetni” or “Meg akarom fizetni.”

Common synonyms include fizetni (to pay in general) and kifizetni (to pay out or settle a payment to someone). The adjective fizetendő means payable or due, and fizethető is used in some contexts to indicate something can be paid, though fizetendő is more common in formal or legal language. Megfizetni is widely used in everyday language as well as in formal writing, especially in contracts, invoices, and consumer transactions. It is a perfective verb, typically signaling a completed action when used with appropriate tense and auxiliary elements.
