megrázom

Megrázom is a Hungarian verb in the first-person singular present indicative, meaning “I shake,” “I jar,” or, in a figurative sense, “I shock.” It comes from the root ráz, meaning to shake, with the prefix me- that adds a sense of completion or intensity. The infinitive is megrázni, and the past forms are megrázott or megrázta, depending on the subject and object.

Etymology and related forms: The word is built from ráz (to shake) plus the prefix me-. Related nouns include megrázás (a shake or jolt) and megrázkódtatás (a strong shock or jolt). The prefix me- is common in Hungarian to indicate a completed or intensified action.

Usage and nuance: Megrázom is transitive and typically requires a direct object, either a physical thing being shaken or a situation being jolted. Literal use: Én megrázom a szőnyeget. (I shake out the rug.) Figurative use: A hír megrázta a közvéleményt. (The news shocked the public.) The verb can convey both physical action and emotional impact, depending on context.

Conjugation notes: Megrázom forms part of a regular conjugation pattern for verbs with the me- prefix plus -ni infinitive. Other forms follow standard Hungarian verb conjugation rules (e.g., megrázol, megrázik, megrázunk), with appropriate subject agreement.
