megfordításakor

Megfordításakor is a Hungarian linguistic term used to denote the moment at which a reversal or turning action takes place. The word is formed from megfordítás, the act of reversing or turning, plus a temporal suffix that marks time, effectively meaning “at the time of reversal” or “when reversing.” In practice it functions as a temporal modifier, connecting a clause to the moment when the reversal occurs.

In usage, megfordításakor appears in technical, procedural, and descriptive texts where the sequence of operations matters. It introduces a time-relative clause or adverbial phrase, specifying when a particular change or effect happens in relation to the reversal. The form is most common in written Hungarian, especially in manuals, reports, and scientific descriptions, but it can appear in formal narration as well.

Examples:

- Megfordításakor a gép védelmi módba lép. (When reversing, the machine enters safety mode.)

- Megfordításakor megváltoznak a jelzések. (At the reversal, the signals change.)

- A folyamat megfordításakor ki kell kapcsolni a rendszert. (When the process is reversed, the system must be shut down.)

Related terms include megfordítás (reversal) and megfordítási (relating to reversal), with megfordításkor/megfordításakor serving as the time-specific form. The term is primarily administrative and technical in tone, and its use helps to pinpoint the precise moment at which an action occurs during a reversing operation.
