megkerültek

Megkerültek is a Hungarian verb that translates to "they were circumvented," "they were bypassed," or "they were avoided" in English. It is the past tense plural form of the verb megkerül. The verb itself implies an action of going around something, rather than confronting it directly or dealing with it head-on. This can apply to physical obstacles, metaphorical challenges, or even rules and regulations.

In a literal sense, megkerültek could describe a group of people or vehicles that took an alternative route to avoid a blocked road or a difficult terrain. For instance, "A csapat megkerültek egy hatalmas sziklát" would mean "The team circumvented a huge rock."

Metaphorically, megkerültek can refer to avoiding a problem or a difficult conversation. If a group of colleagues managed to complete a project without addressing a key disagreement, one might say, "A fő konfliktusokat megkerültek," meaning "They avoided the main conflicts." Similarly, it can describe finding a way around a rule or regulation without explicitly breaking it. The context in which megkerültek is used is crucial for understanding its precise meaning. It generally suggests a successful, though perhaps indirect, navigation of a situation.
