megválaszolás

Megválaszolás is a Hungarian noun meaning the act of answering or replying to a question, request, or statement. It is formed from the verb megválaszol (to answer, to respond) with the suffix -ás. The prefix meg- often marks completion or outward direction, and in this word it emphasizes the action of providing an answer.

In usage, megválaszolás can refer to the act itself as well as the process and timing of delivering a reply. It is common in everyday speech and in formal contexts such as customer service, official correspondence, and surveys. In many cases it is interchangeable with válaszadás or reagálás, but megválaszolás specifically highlights the act of giving a reply to a particular inquiry.

Common collocations include megválaszolási idő (the time to respond), megválaszolás módja (the manner of answering), and megválaszolni a kérdést (to answer the question). For example: "Az üzenetre adott megválaszolás öt percen belül megérkezett," or "A megválaszolás gyors volt." In business language, the term often appears in discussions of communication efficiency and service levels.

Etymology note: The noun is built from válasz (answer) plus -olás, with the verbal form megválaszol and then its nominalization. The word is neutral and primarily descriptive.
