megvonni

Megvonni is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to withdraw," "to revoke," or "to deny" in English. Its meaning can vary depending on the context in which it is used.

In a legal or official context, "megvonni" often signifies the act of taking away something that was previously granted or permitted. For example, one might "megvonni a jogosítványt" which means to revoke a driver's license. Similarly, "megvonni a támogatást" translates to withdrawing support or aid.

In a more general sense, "megvonni" can mean to withhold or deny something to someone. For instance, if someone is not being given food or water, it could be described as "megvonták tőle az ételt" or "megvonták tőle a vizet," meaning the food or water was denied to them.
