megnézzék

Megnézzük is a Hungarian verb form used to express the intention to examine or view something together. It is the first-person plural present tense of the verb megnéz, which combines the root néz (to look) with the prefix meg-, signaling a completed or thorough action. The phrase is commonly translated as “we’ll take a look (at it)” or “shall we take a look (at it)?” depending on the context.

Usage of megnézzük is widespread in everyday speech and informal writing to propose a joint action of checking or reviewing something. It can introduce a plan, a question, or a statement about what will be done. Examples include megnézzük a menetrendet (we’ll look at the timetable), megnézzük a videót (we’ll watch the video), and megnézzük, hol a hiba van (we’ll see where the error is). The form is versatile and can be paired with various objects to indicate what will be reviewed.

Notes on nuance: while megnézzük is a straightforward present-tense form, the explicit imperative alternative nézzük meg is often preferred when issuing a direct invitation or command, as in “Nézzük meg!” (Let's take a look!). The prefix meg- conveys completeness, and the form itself does not fix the tense beyond the present/planned sense; context determines whether it means “we look” or “we will look.”
