megvizsgáltuk

Megvizsgáltuk is a Hungarian verb form meaning “we examined” or “we have examined.” It is the first-person plural past definite indicative of the verb megvizsgálni, which means to examine, inspect, or investigate. The form is used when the subject is a group that includes the speaker and the object of examination is definite.

Morphology and syntax: The prefix meg- signals completion of the action, the root vizsgál- carries the core sense of examination, and the suffix -tuk marks the past tense for the first-person plural with a definite object. In Hungarian, past definite conjugations are used when the object is definite; the phrase Megvizsgáltuk typically appears with a specific topic, item, or issue that was examined, such as a report, dataset, or procedure.

Usage and nuance: Megvizsgáltuk is common in formal and semi-formal communication, including scientific reports, business summaries, journalism, and administrative writing. It conveys that an examination or analysis has been completed by the group referenced. It can stand alone as a sentence or begin a clause, for example: “Megvizsgáltuk a költségvetést” (We examined the budget). The statement often precedes a conclusion or results section detailing what was found.

In literature and media, Megvizsgáltuk may appear as a chapter or section heading to indicate the scope of analysis. It exemplifies how Hungarian uses definite objects with past tense forms to report collaborative investigative work.
