meggátolják

Megegátolják is a Hungarian verb form meaning "they prevent" or "they hinder." It is the third-person plural present indicative form of the infinitive meggátolni, which combines the prefix meg- with the root gátol (to hinder, to block). The form is used when describing actions taken by multiple subjects to stop something from happening.

Etymology and form: The word derives from the verb meggátolni, itself built from meg- plus gátol. The prefix meg- often signals completion or bringing about a result, so meggátolni conveys the idea of bringing about a blockage or prevention. Megegátolják is the finite present-tense form used with a plural subject; the infinitive is meggátolni, and related forms include meggátolták (they prevented) in the past tense.

Usage: The term is employed in contexts where an action, policy, or measure is intended to stop a process or activity. Examples (plural subject): A hatóságok meggátolják a kockázatos tevékenységeket. A szabályozó testületek meggátolják a visszaélések terjedését. The nuance of meggátolni often implies deliberate obstruction by creating a barrier or obstacle, and is commonly used for preventive or restraining actions rather than to describe something already underway.

See also: gátol, megakadályozás, megakadályozás, gátlás.

Notes: Megegátolják is a neutral, commonly used term in official, legal, and journalistic language when describing preventive measures taken by authorities or organizations. Its exact strength relative to synonyms like megakadályozni can vary by context.
