megmérte

Megmérte is a Hungarian verb form that means “measured,” used as the past tense, third-person singular, of the verb mérni when combined with the prefix meg-. It denotes a completed action of measuring performed by a subject such as a person or a machine.

In terms of morphology, the base verb is mérni, meaning to measure. The prefix meg- indicates completion or realization of the action, and the suffix -te marks the past tense for the third person in a completed, definite construction. The form megmérte typically appears when a direct object is involved or when a definite measurement is reported, though Hungarian tense and aspect can be nuanced by context.

Usage of megmérte appears in narrative and descriptive prose, where a specific measurement is stated as a completed fact. Examples include: “A mérnök megmérte a hidat” (The engineer measured the bridge) and “A sportoló megmérte a magasságát” (The athlete measured his height). The word can also appear in reporting or summarizing measurements taken at a particular time.

Etymology and related forms: megmérte is formed from mérni (to measure) with the prefix meg- and the past-tense ending -te. Related words include mérés (measurement), mérő (measuring device), and the present or other past forms of mérni, such as méri (he/she measures) and mérte (he/she measured, without the meg- prefix in some contexts).
