meghozni

Meghozni is a Hungarian verb meaning to bring something to a destination, typically toward the speaker or to a stated location, with an emphasis on the completion of the act of bringing. It is a compound of the root hoz- (“to bring toward”) with the prefix meg-, which often signals completion or emphasis, plus the infinitive suffix -ni.

Morphology and usage: Meghozni forms a perfective verb, and its finite forms follow the usual Hungarian conjugation of the hoz- stem. Common present forms include meghozom, meghozod, meghozza, meghozzuk, meghozzátok, meghozzák. The past tense is formed as meghoztam, meghoztad, meghozta, meghoztuk, meghoztátok, meghozták. The infinitive is meghozni. In use, meghozni is followed by a direct object—the item being brought—and a destination phrase indicating where it is brought, such as ide, oda, a szobába, vagy a konyhába. For example: Meghozom a könyvet a szobába. Meghoztam a levelet a postáról. These examples illustrate the sense of bringing something from elsewhere to a specified place.

Semantics and contrast: Meghozni differentiates itself from general hozni by signaling that the bringing is completed and often by stressing that the item is delivered to a particular location. It can imply retrieval from another place rather than simply carrying something that is nearby.
