megnyitja

Megnyitja is a Hungarian verb that means “opens” in the third-person singular present indicative. It is formed from the infinitive megnyitani, meaning “to open,” with the prefix meg- that often conveys completion or result. The verb is used for opening physical objects, such as doors and windows, as well as for opening abstract or ceremonial events, files, or organizations.

Morphology and usage

Megnyitja belongs to the group of verbs conjugated around the stem nyit-. In the present tense the full paradigm is: megnyitom, megnyitod, megnyitja, megnyitjuk, megnyitjátok, megnyitják. The direct object is typically in the accusative, usually marked with -t (e.g., megnyitja az ajtót). The prefix meg- signals a completed or resulting action, distinguishing megnyitja from the bare nyitja, which can imply a simple, ongoing opening.

Examples

Ő megnyitja az ajtót. (He opens the door.) A program megnyitja a fájlt. (The program opens the file.) A kiállítás megnyitja kapuit. (The exhibition opens its doors; in context this can mean the event opens.)

Related forms and nuances

Megnyitni is the infinitive form. Megnyitás and megnyitó are related nouns meaning “opening” and “opening ceremony” or “opening event,” respectively. The verb shares its root with nyitni (to open) but carries the aspectual prefix meg- to indicate a completed or resulting action.
