megismerik

Megismerik is the third-person plural present indicative form of the Hungarian verb megismerni, which means to become acquainted with, to get to know, or to learn about someone or something. The term covers both social introductions and the act of acquiring information about a place, idea, or phenomenon. The noun megismerés refers to the process of getting to know or the result of this process.

The verb megismerni is built from the root ismer- (to know) and the prefix meg-, which in Hungarian often marks completion, thoroughness, or realization. In present tense, the forms include megismerem, megismered, megismeri, megismerjük, megismeritek, megismerik. Past tenses are formed with standard Hungarian suffixes (megismertem, megismertek, megismerte, etc.).

Usage notes: megismerni can denote both interpersonal acquaintance and learning about things, such as places or ideas. It is commonly used with egymást to express mutual acquaintance (megismerik egymást: they get to know each other). The sense can also extend to recognizing something after prior familiarity, though felismerni is the more common verb for simple recognition. The related noun megismerés denotes the process or act of becoming acquainted, while ismerni refers more generally to knowing or being familiar with someone or something.

Examples: “Ők megismerik egymást.” “A diákok megismerik az új fogalmakat.” “A kutatók megismerik a város történetét.” These illustrate the core idea of moving from not knowing to knowing or being familiar with someone, a place, or a concept.
