megszabadul

Megs zabadul is a Hungarian verb meaning to free oneself from something, to get rid of a burden or unwanted condition, or to be released from confinement. The infinitive form is megszabadulni. The action is typically described with a from-phrase, such as valamitől, though it can also take a direct object in certain constructions when something specific is removed.

Etymology and related forms: The word is formed with the prefix meg- added to the verb szabadul (to be freed or to escape), itself related to szabad meaning free. Related terms include megszabadít (to free someone from something), megszabadulás (the act or state of getting rid of something), and felszabadul (to be liberated or released). The noun megszabadulás is used for the broader concept of liberation or getting rid of an unwanted burden.

Usage and nuance: Megszabadul often describes removing a nuisance, obligation, habit, or problem, rather than a physical capture. It can express relief after the removal and is commonly used with phrases like megszabadulni valamitől (to get rid of something) or megszabadulni a kötelezettségektől (to free oneself from obligations). It can also denote release from captivity or imprisonment, especially in past-tense contexts.

Examples:

- Megszabadult a felesleges kötelezettségeitől. (He got rid of his unnecessary obligations.)

- A hadifoglyok megszabadultak a fogságból. (The prisoners were released from captivity.)

- Megpróbál függetleníteni magát a rossz szokásától, és megszabadulni tőle.
