megfontolandó

Megfontolandó is a Hungarian adjectival form meaning "worth considering" or "to be considered". It derives from the verb megfontol ("to consider, to ponder") combined with the suffix -andó, which marks necessity or suitability for an action; together the form expresses that something merits consideration or requires deliberation.

As a descriptor, megfontolandó is used both attributively and predicatively in formal and neutral registers. Typical usages include assessments of proposals, decisions, arguments and plans: for example, "Ez egy megfontolandó javaslat" ("This is a proposal worth considering"). It conveys a recommendation to pause and evaluate rather than an imperative or final judgement.

Grammatically, megfontolandó functions like other Hungarian participial adjectives formed with -andó/-endő. It is related to other words from the same root, such as megfontolni (the infinitive "to consider"), megfontolt (adjective "deliberate, prudent") and megfontolás (noun "consideration"). In translation contexts it commonly corresponds to English phrases like "worth considering", "should be considered" or "to be considered".

The word appears across everyday, professional and academic discourse in Hungarian wherever caution, evaluation or prudence is being recommended. Its tone is typically measured and advisory rather than emphatic.
