megkerülte

Megkerülte is a Hungarian verb meaning "he/she/it circumvented" or "he/she/it went around." It is the past tense, third-person singular form of the verb megkerülni. This verb can be used in both literal and figurative senses.

Literally, megkerülte could describe a physical action. For example, "A kutya megkerülte a fát" translates to "The dog went around the tree." It implies a path taken that avoids an obstacle directly. In a more abstract sense, megkerülte can refer to avoiding a problem, a question, or a difficult situation. If someone is asked a question they don't want to answer, and they respond with something else, it could be said that they "megkerülte" the question. Similarly, a plan or a rule might be circumvented, or "megkerülte," by finding a loophole or an alternative method.

The verb carries a connotation of cleverness or evasiveness, depending on the context. It doesn't necessarily imply negative intent, but rather a successful navigation around something that needed to be avoided or bypassed. The etymology traces back to "kerül" (to avoid, to go around) with the perfective prefix "meg-" indicating a completed action.
