megindít

Megindít is a Hungarian verb formed with the prefix meg- attached to indít (to set in motion, to start). It denotes bringing something into motion or starting something, and it can refer to both literal initiation of motion and figurative initiation of actions, processes, or policies. The sense often implies a deliberate or decisive beginning that starts a sequence of events.

In literal use, megindít can describe starting a machine, engine, or device, but in everyday speech beindítani or elindítani are more common for that sense. Megindít is therefore more frequent in formal, technical, or institutional contexts. Examples include megindítani egy projektd, megindítása egy vizsgálatnak, vagy megindítás egy új program létrehozására. Figuratively, it can mean to trigger or catalyze developments, for instance megindította a gazdasági reformokat or egy változás megindította a folyamatokat.

Etymology and related forms: megindít combines meg- with indít, rooted in the idea of bringing something into motion. Related terms include megindítás (initiation), which names the act of starting something, and megindító (an initiator or something that triggers). The verb is conjugated as a regular perfective verb; its past tense is megindított, and it is used to express that something was started or initiated.
