megnyílik

Megnyúlik is a Hungarian verb that means to become longer, to stretch, or to elongate. It can describe physical changes in objects such as ropes or fabrics that lengthen under tension, as well as the extension of time or duration in a figurative sense. The word is formed with the prefix meg- attached to nyúlik, signaling a change of state or a resulting condition.

It is an intransitive verb, describing the subject undergoing stretching rather than performing it on another object. The form megnyúlik is used in the present tense for singular third-person subjects, with other subject-person combinations formed through regular Hungarian conjugation. The prefix meg- often conveys completion or emphasis of the change.

Common uses include physical contexts: for example, "A kötél megnyúlik terhelés alatt" (The rope stretches under load). It can also apply to fabrics and muscles that lengthen over time. In a figurative sense, megnyúlik can describe a period or duration becoming longer, though this usage is less common than its physical context.

Related terms include nyújtás (stretching) and megnyúlás (elongation).
