megrázta

Megrázta is a Hungarian verb form meaning “shook” or “shocked.” It is the third-person singular past definite form of the verb megrázni, which is formed with the prefix meg- and the root ráz meaning “to shake.” The prefix marks a completed action and can apply to physical shaking as well as to emotional or perceptual impact.

In usage, megrázta describes events or experiences that produce a sudden or intense effect. It can refer to a natural disturbance such as an earthquake: “A föld megrázta a várost” (“The ground shook the city”). It can also describe emotional or social impact: “A hír megrázta őt” (“The news shocked him”). When the action is transitive, the direct object may be present in the accusative; in intransitive uses the subject experiences the shaking.

Megrázta is common in descriptive prose and news reporting to convey suddenness and force of impact. The infinitive form is megrázni, and the verb is conjugated in other tenses in the usual Hungarian manner around the root megráz-, with past indefinite and other variants following standard rules.
