megnevezi

Megnevezi is a Hungarian verb meaning to name or designate someone or something, typically in a formal or official sense. It is a transitive verb used to indicate that a person or thing is given a name, title, or role by an authority. The infinitive is megnevezni. The form megnevezi corresponds to the third-person singular present tense (he/she names).

Etymology and related terms: the word combines the root nevez (to name) with the prefix meg-, which in Hungarian often adds emphasis or indicates a completed action. Related terms include megnevezés (the act of naming or designation), a noun; and the related verbs kinevezni (to appoint) and elnevezni (to name or nickname). The usage can cover naming a person to a position as well as giving a formal label to a thing.

Usage: Megnevezni is commonly used in official or formal contexts, such as government bodies, organizations, or institutions, when announcing names or titles. It differs from kinevezni in that megnevezni emphasizes the act of naming, while kinevezni emphasizes appointment to a position. The choice of word can reflect whether the designation is a simple naming or an official appointment, and context will often clarify the nuance.

Examples: A tanács megnevezi az új tagokat. A miniszter megnevezi az új vezetőket. In English: The council names the new members. The minister designates the new leaders. See also kinevezés, elnevezés, nevezés.
