megtétele

Megtétele is a Hungarian noun that refers to the act of doing something, or the completion of an action. In everyday language it is used to denote the fulfillment of a task, the carrying out of a duty, or the realization of an intent. The precise nuance depends on the context in which it appears.

In religious and ethical contexts, megtétele can denote atonement, expiation, or compensation for wrongdoing. It is often used in discussions about moral responsibility and the reconciliation of actions with ethical or spiritual standards. In these senses it is closely related to terms such as atonement or recompense, with the emphasis on making an obligation or moral debt good.

In legal, administrative, and financial language, megtétele may describe the settlement, redress, or compensation owed to another party as a result of an obligation or damage. It can refer to the act of fulfilling contractual terms, repaying a debt, or correcting a fault to restore a prior state.

Usage notes: the form and nuance shift with grammatical context in Hungarian. While megtétel (fulfillment or completion) is a common base noun, megtétele appears in constructions that highlight the act of performing or the resulting fulfillment. The exact meaning is thus largely determined by modifiers and surrounding phrases.
